I love taking photos and although my camera is a really reliable friend, the odd photo needs a bit of a brush up. Usually, I use Picasa or Picnik for photo editing but with Picnik closing down, I was already looking for alternatives. When an email by Magix hit my inbox and they asked me, if I would like to review their Photo & Graphic Designer and their Movie Edit Pro Plus, the opportunity was too good to pass.
Magix sent me a download code for both of their products and within minutes I had both programmes up and running on my laptop – really easy. At first glance, the programmes seem a bit overwhelming because there are hundreds of clever functions to help you improve your pictures and movies but after spending a while exploring the different buttons and filters, you will quickly find out just how amazing both programmes are. There literally isn’t anything that you can’t do. So, once I’ve got the hang of video editing, I might even venture into the mysterious world of video blogging. Watch this space!
MAGIX have given me 2 x Photo and Graphic Designer and another 2 x Movie Edit Pro Plus. If you want to be in with a chance of winning, fill in the Raffle Copter below and keep your fingers crossed. Good luck!

March 11, 2012 at 7:22 pmThis is a great prize. Photos are so prescious, and it can be quite annoying if, when you have a proper look at them after a day out or something similar, and something isn't quite right, or in the photo that shouldnt be. To be able to edit that photo and save it is just great. I would love to win this, then i can finally get all the photos and vidoes that arent as i hoped to being perfect.
