PhotoDeluxe 2

billG470427,

If there is anyone that can convince Adobe to issue the 'PhotoDeluxe 2.0' program in an up-to-date version that will run on any Windows OS,  you can bet that there would a multitude of sales for Adobe Systems. If, only, Adobe can be reached. Somehow, it seems, Adobe allowed 'PhotoDeluxe 2.0' to be distributed with hardware products as an incentive.  Why should the program be of any less value in present times?

Is there anyone in this forum that is familiar with PhotoDeluxe 2.0, a photo editing program that was issued with the purchase of an IBM scanner (1996).  I have this program and have been using it since that time without any issues including installation via the Windows XP program that allows for the old, 16 bit, program installs.  This old 'PhotoDeluxe' program is so intuitive that there was no need for instruction...  I would be satisfied with a reissue of the 'PhotoDeluxe' program in an up-to-date version that will run on any Windows OS.   You may be asking...  Why?  The Photo Shop type programs seem to have more to do with 'fixing up' photos than reconstructing or repair of pictures.  For general information:  PhotoDeluxe 2.0  was issued in 1996 (20 yrs.).  There was no hard copy manual.  Supported by Windows 95 & NT only.
