PhotoImpression is a discontinued proprietary image management and editing software created by ArcSoft for Mac OS X and Windows. It was often bundled with Epson all-in-one printers, scanners, and cameras but could be purchased separately. PhotoImpression was marketed as an entry-level image editor and was sold for around $40-$50.[1]
Features
PhotoImpression has basic photo editing tools such as brightness/contrast adjustment and adding text to images. It has support for layers, special effects, and provides templates such as frames and greeting cards.[1][2] Some versions could be linked to PhotoIsland.com, a photo sharing website made by ArcSoft.[3] PhotoImpression 6.5 Gold, the last version, can automatically get images from the user's computer and has support for adjusting color, contrast, lighting, blur, and red-eye. It also includes a paintbrush, clipart, frame templates, and the ability to add text captions. It can be used to create albums, picture books, and slideshows.[4][5]

Reception
