How Stable/Safe is the Program?
I use Photo Pos Pro for many years now and never encountered a major problem with the program. Sometimes after running it for hours on end, it tends to become a bit sluggish and requires that I close and restart the program. Then again, this happens to many other programs as well so it is hardly an issue.

Conclusion Drawn from Own Experience…
I’ve been using Photo Pos Pro for as long as I can remember and it came along with me from the first time I had a digital photo that needed “red-eye” removal up to now, where more advanced work was done with graphics for my websites. All my computers handled it well from the first Pentium up to my i7, without a problem.
Obviously, it is not Photo-Shop, but in my opinion, it is not too far off, almost like a mini version. The free version is what I would call “a proper free version” and much better than average “paid for” editors.
A few things that stand out for me personally;
The zoom in/out function is awesome and you can literally zoom in on each pixel that makes for easy editing if you are doing precision work.
The browser concept to work on multiple images at once is beyond convenient.
You have two interfaces to work with, one for total beginners that only want to do basics and one for more advanced users. You can switch between these with only a click of the button, making it easy to work with when multiple users with different skill levels use the program.
Things that I do not like;
The extension packs are not that helpful to me since it is almost always geared towards Wedding, Christmas, New Year, Love and Baby theme when it comes to the collages and frames. Not much for business or other niches. I usually end up working from scratch.
Do You Use Photo Pos Pro or Used it in the Past?
I am not a huge fan of one-sided opinions and would like this review not to be one. You can make a difference in preventing that by leaving a comment with your own experience regarding the program. It would be much appreciated!
Thank You.
