I downloaded PhotoStage.Listed as free.Once installed,it said it was the free,unlicensed version,and had a link to buy.I tried it out, liked it.But before I completed my first slideshow,said the trial was over,and I could continue to use features of free version.Let me use everything, pretty good...until I tried to burn to DVD,or share in ANY way.Create as much as you like, but you can't DO anything with it. I just wanted to be able to make DVD slideshows,I bought the license.When you buy it, all these other programs pop up,including tech advice...each one for an additional price.I thought I'd be able to burn DVDs of my slideshows with the slide show software,thought I'd figured out how to use it,so I paid for the one program.Went to the menu of the program to see if there was a DVD menu creator included with the program,when I clicked to burn to DVD,pop up appeared asking me to download software for their DVD burning program with versions up to $60. REALLY? Disgusted. Returns?????????

I like the editing software. But I got a bug in it and the support fix turned it into a free version. The free version is not for commercial use, I have a commercial project going on at this time. I can't get in contact with N.C.H. The customer service is poor. I have been trying for two days. So if you plan on buying this software be aware of this problem.I hope I don't loose my account with this major corporation due to this issue. I'm close to closing a large account and can not continue with out my soft ware, I'm very upset. Mike west
