The end product, wether I use PP or PD, is pretty much the same format. PD just gives you some more advanced functionality (well it used to). There is no reason why PD8 couldn't save the original pics to the disc just as PP5 still does. I can actaully do more & faster with PP5, now, than I can with PD8 (minus some nice effects).
PD5 comes with PD Express 3.5 built in, with that package there isn't much I could't do that PD8 does, especially now they are taking features away. It's actaully a much nicer package the way PP5's Advanced Editing Button opens PDE3.5 and allows you to work seemlessly on a project (for a while, I never knew I was actually leaving PP5 and entering PDE3.5. Besides making some fancy PiP or some nice effects, the PP5/PDE3.5 seems much more intergrated and gives the user more common options.
I often wonder why they make so many countless programs that focus a little more towards one area than another. Why not just junk them all and make one mack-daddy program to do it all. I bought PP5 and PP8, after installing I have over 6 programs from this company and others even including Apple. Why? I can't even stop them from installing? I don't what a load of junk, I thought I paid for a good, stable, and matured program. Yet Cyberlink seems to be taking steps backwards by taking options away from the users.
I'd go back to the other, but none of the PD8's files are backwards compadiable. Why do they want to develope the PowerXxxxx Series? Why not just make the Cyberlink Mack-Daddy for $129, why, because this way makes more money...
