History

• PhotoDeluxe, which was published by Adobe Systems until July 8, 2002, was replaced by Photoshop Elements.
  
  

Significance

• PhotoDeluxe was a consumer oriented image editing software that enabled image handlers and home photographers to alter or improve photos for personal or commercial reasons.
  
  

Features

• PhotoDeluxe included an impressive range of image processing capabilities, including red-eye removal, cropping and resizing tools, and adjustments for brightness, contrast, and sharpness.
  
  

Benefits

• Often packaged for free with Epson scanners, PhotoDeluxe includes software necessary to extract pictures and photos from image scanners, and allowed for printing multiple copies of the same image on one page.
  
  

Warning

• Because the software has been discontinued, technical support is no longer available, which makes troubleshooting PhotoDeluxe difficult.
