Photo Review's editorial team is constantly on the lookout for great new digital imaging tools. Every week we spend hours searching across the Net for cool and genuinely useful software aimed at digital photographers.

This disc contains some of our long-standing favorites as well as a host of functional, easy-to-use and often just plain fun tools we've discovered over the last few months. Altogether there are some 57 different applications for you to look at and experiment with. We're confident that more than a few of these will become part of your own digital photography toolkit.

We've sorted the software on this disc into four general categories. FIX contains tools for editing, adjusting and working with images. CREATE swings the focus on to software that accomplishes a specific function (e.g. stitching a panorama together or creating wallpaper). ORGANIZE not surprisingly contains applications that help you browse and order your image resources. PRINT & SHOW contains a selection of tools to help you scan, print and display your work.
