Second, this stepwise approach, although excellent for the beginner (in that it behaved as a live tutorial) was somewhat cumbersome and in many instances more experienced users found it a hindrance. If you had a slower machine or one with a lowly amount of memory the program was extremely pedestrian First, the novel interface precluded this program to anyone other than those with the most potent and well-specified computers. There were two principal down sides to this approach. Users could even go on to produce panoramas, calendars and framed prints under the expert guidance of the program. Rather than being 'just' an image editor it was structured to lead users through the various stages of image manipulation and graphics production, step by step. Indeed, the latter was closely integrated into the suite. First, it was browser based, following a similar technology to that of Internet Explorer. Version II and subsequent releases, including the current Version 4, took a different approach. As such it had proved very popular and was, for a time, the biggest selling image editor. Prior to this PhotoSuite had been a somewhat conventional image editor that also offered compendious amounts of royalty free images and clip art. MGI have received plaudits for the design of PhotoSuite since its rebirth as Photoshop II (2!) a couple of years ago.
