Digital Image Pro 10 is an easy to use
image editing program that also includes
quite a few pre-formatted projects...greeting
cards, business cards, album pages, etc.
Digital Image Suite 2006 is version 11
and includes...Digital Image Suite 2006
Editor (almost exactly like DIP10 with a
few improvements like RAW support and
a special Black and White manipulation
tool) and Digital Image Suite 2006 Library.
The major improvements are in the Library
which now supports cataloging Nikon and
Canon RAW files and also Video clips. It
also includes PhotoStory 3.1 which is great
for making animated slideshows with music
and narration....and creating VCDs.

2006, you can download a .pdf copy of the

Sorry for hijacking this thread but it allowed me to reply to posts but not
start a new thread?
I have Digital Image Pro 10 and the clone tool does not exist. I have owned
this program for numerous years and tried it on 3 different computers and
clone does not exist.
It says in the help files that clone is under touchup. Well under touchup I
have...
Colour and Saturation
Exposure and Lighting
Fix Red Eye
Smart Erase
Blending Brush
Unsharp Mask
Batch Edit in Mini Lab
No clone! Interestingly, in the manual the Contents says Clone brush is on
page 72 yet on page 72 is the Distortion brush.
If you look at the manual, Chapter 4, page 27 it shows a picture of the main
work area. Under Touchup, the Clone Brush is not even shown. Does it even
exist?
This program frustrates the heck out of me and I only recently put it back
in my current computer to try once again and see if I could get it to work.
Nope, still no clone and installing it into my hubby's computer and there is
no clone.
Tech Support replied with this....
"I understand that you would like to use Clone Painting option in Microsoft
Digital Image Pro 10, as it is been disabled." Well I've never disabled it
and how do I go about enabling it and what else in this program might be
disabled?
This program was bought in a store. It did not come with a computer.
Thanks

along the top. I have no clue why I never thought to look up there. It
also works using Alt+Shift+N.
Thankyou so much for your help. I will try and see if I can get it to show
up on the left but as long as I can access it, where I get it from doesn't
matter. My laptop is less than a year old so I'd doubt it's a Video driver
but I'll see if I can figure it out.
Thanks again for your help. I guess I should have asked for help long ago.

I have what appears to be a related problem in MS Photo Premium 10 with
'unsharp mask'.
I have tried using 'unsharp mask' and when the picture is to my satisfaction
and I click 'done' as instructed, instead of saving what I have just
achieved, the picture is changed to an even worse state than the original.
Surely if it can alter the image to my satisfaction on screen it should be
able to save it? I have not had this problem with other editing features such
as red eye, contrast, brightness etc
I don't understand what is happening and the 'unsharp mask' isn't even
mentioned at all in the manual so I don't know where to look for help.
