In what we might ascribe as typical Microsoft style the approach the program has adopted tends to buck the trend of other image editors. This leaves the greater part of the screen available for the working image. Interface-wise Picture It presents a clean and workmanlike screen with options ranged along the left of the screen (some featuring nested sub-options) and a gallery of images to the right. Silver, Gold and Platinum versions sit above this and offer ever-increasing arsenals of templates and artwork along with web publishing and DTP tools. The Premium edition that we look at here is the entry-level product. Picture It answered that question but proved something of a mixed bag. For years many people wondered why Microsoft's omnipotence hadn't stretched to image editing software.
