[PaulMartin]

Hello

Anybody tried PhtotArtMaster and Buzz.
If so whats the difference. Is buzz pro 2.0 worth the extra £'s ??
For now I'm thinking of getting both
Many thanks in advance for your insights...

PAM is a standalone version of Buzz for those who don't have a master application like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or Photo-paint, etc.

Getting both would be redundant, IMHO, based on a query I posted at about.com asking Sue Chastain, the about.com reviewer, the same question you asked.

PAM does not support all file formats, like, .PSD. That might be something to consider, too.

I have the BuzzPro package. To me the extra functionality and presets have been definitely worth the extra $$. Then again I use Buzz extensively. A casual user may not need/want the extras.

Hope this helps, Paul. Good luck.

If you use Photoshop, the big advantage of Buzzpro is that it runs inside of Photoshop, making it incredibly versitile. For example, you can buzz a copy of the background layer & then blend it with the unbuzzed layer, you can mask out some areas & double buzz others.

It's a lot of fun. Even though it's a bit on the costly side, I recommend it.

Hello Paul,

I you can wait few days, I can say to you what are the exact possibilities of PhotoArtMaster. I buy this software the last week, and I'm waiting to receive.
I do few tests with the trial version, and I was very happy with the result.

I thik buzzPro is a little to expensive for non professional use.
I get the trial version and I do some test with it. It is good.

I you are interressed to try buzzpro trial more than the 30 times, E-mail me.

Greetings.
