Most of the best effects are in the "Photo Effects Lite" version, which is free for download. To my regret, this convinced me to buy the full version, hoping that in the advertised "over 400 effects", I would find more like those in the Lite version, but I was deeply disappointed. Most of the "effects" are useless stock animations piled on top of your image and makes them look cheesy and cheap. Some effects are repeated, others wont take effect and wont save. Even with my brand new iMac, the App will slow down with files over 3MB, and will crash with files 5MB or above. About 25% of the effects are really cool though, but not worth the $10. …but what do they care, they already got my money!
