I used Photo Now for the first time today. I have PhotoShop, so spiff up photos before importing, but in this case a series of pictures needed some help in matching up better--some needed brightening. Instead of going back to PhotoShop, I thought I'd try Photo Now since it's available straight from inside PD9.

I had looked at PN previously, and could see it's an extremely basic program, probably less features than the free photo apps that come with Windows. But since it has manually controlled basic features like brightening and contrast, I tried it out.

After saving the edited photo, and I was deposited back in PD - it's as as PD got confused. It started importing some audio files again, ones that were already in the project. Then it finally skipped those - started importing the edited photo. It was taking so long, but since the progress bar said the picture was 100% imported, I thought maybe it was one of those pop-ups that doesn't go away until you click - So I clicked, the screen went milky white, "Not responding" came up on the pop-up--looked like PD was going to crash. But it didn't - it just sat there white screening for quite awhile, and finally the import process was really over, not fake-over as per the progress bar - and the program returned to normal, with the edited photo now in the time line instead of the original version.

--Is all this normal Photo Now behavior?
