Imagine all the photos
Life, Wanda Sloan, Published on 26/07/2011
» Imagina claims to be the next generation of media editor. That is still debatable but the program is an imaginative step up on recent software that is a couple of steps below Photoshop in complexity but still allows you to make photos look better - and good photos look excellent.

Life, Wanda Sloan, Published on 28/06/2011
