easy to understand perfect for intermediate to complicated projects It was everything I needed intuitive and pop up help as you go nothing yet I don't have time to learn a professional publishing program, but I have projects that require layer usage and delicate retouching. This program does it all, but doesn't confuse you with difficult tools

All I get after unzipping is a file called "chasys_draw_ies" that doesn't seem to be an .exe file. EDIT= It would seem that the link here isn't working properly. I did download it from CNET and there I got the full install and extras.

Finally a Photoshop plugins compatible freeware editor that doesn't use stupid .NET! It's great, fast, small. Lovely! Give it a try.

I played with it for few days, it is not bad at all. Have some useful features. Editor itself is responsible, and can be usegul for editing web graphics. I own Paint Sho Pro X2 so compare to it Chasys Draw IES does not give me anything more. For people who does not like Gimp or Paint.NET and others can be this editor good alternative. Be aware of some non standard control.

FULLLLLLLLL FEATURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STEEP LEARNING CURVE! NO EASY TO UNDERSTAND TUTORIALS, Don't waste $100s on retail brands when you get equal or better Quality for free. But these guys spent endless hours creating abd refining this prog. so throw a few $ there way through donations!

Has every tool under the sun and then some. There is almost an unlimited amount of features. It is free. Will take a lifetime to learn all of the feature (that is a plus). This programs compares to GIMP, except it opens faster, has more features, more tools, more control, etc. There are tutorials and a vast amount of help to learn how to use this program. Just click 'Help'. This is one of the greatest programs on the planet.

I am a photoshop virgin and after a couple of tries found this one of the easiest editors to use. Downloaded it to do scrapbooking. It works All the boxes were a bit confusing at first and all the symbols took some getting used to but not too much. Great for scrapbooking, layers were easy to work with and move around. Defo recommend
