Description:

YAY! Kid Pix Deluxe 3 is here, the ultimate in creativity tools. With a wide array of special effects, animations, paint and drawing tools and projects, this title is an essential addition to any family's software library. This version includes projects such as paper dolls or other simple craft activities.

Features:

  • Brushes, animated stickers, wacky brushes
  • Paper textures, sound art, email your creation.
  • Import and edit photos
  • Simple to use and fun!

Technical Aspects:

We tried out Kid Pix Deluxe 3 on two different Macintoshes and had no problems with installation or runtime on either of them. We love the sound effects - they've even got my 7 year old, Ryan, interested in playing with it. Another great feature is that you can "paint" by voice with the microphone that comes in the box.

Report and Conclusions:

Well, if anyone had asked, I would have been of the opinion that Kid Pix couldn't be improved! Wrong, wrong... This version of the program is more intuitive and users of previous versions will feel comfortable right away.

This is a grand update for an old friend. We've had a blast renewing our acquaintance with it, too.
