tions was tracking down a bug that prevented the program from running on a Cyrix processor.
Like other programs from MetaCreations, Photo Soap has a non-traditional Windows loo
k, with all sorts of buttons, sliders, and even a TV-like remote control to executive functions, instead of the classic Windows pull-down menus.
Photo Soap does a fine job at making photos look better, and it includes all the classic fix-up operations: removing scratches, enhancing poor color, removing red-eye, and so on. As you work on photos, you move them from room to room: the in room, the detail room, the finish room, and so on. Though it isn't a substitute for print-shop programs, it does include plenty of backgrounds and clip art to let you make calendars, cards, and invitations.
Photo Soap did a great job at making mediocre photos look better and helped good photos sparkle, but it still has room for improvement. Because it works in real time, it runs a lot faster if you don't have other Windows applications loaded. And, if you are used to looking for everything in a Windows menu, it may take a bit of playing around to understand how Photo Soap is organized. Otherwise, this is top-notch sof
tware. And at $49, it is a bargain, too.
