Product is a serious challenge for a neophyte user, which is okay, I guess, but it's fatal flaw for us lies in the fact that no matter what settings we use, it insists on printing our borderless 4x6 photos with a border at one end.

              This software is useless. I've installed it, I can see my photos, but when I click on them for editing I'm told that the photo can't be found. Makes no sense at all.

              Hard to use if not computer literate. You'll spend alot of time learning how to use this product. The instruction manual is 400 pages, all in english which is nice, and different.

              I wanted a program that would help me with my photos, putting them in order and easy to pull out when needed. I find this lacking in that respect.Perhaps I, myself just need to be more sure of what I am doing. If someone is very computer literate they should have no problem..I am not.

                  Microsoft Digital Imaging is no longer on the market, and Microsoft no longer supports this software. Photo Expression 4.0 carries all of the latest enhancements and upgrades available in photo technology today.

                  A:

                  This product does allow you to scan and edit photos. Since the C4180 is a flatbed scanner, you can scan as many as will fit on your scanner, and then cut and alter each one using this program.
