Easier to use, plus other improvements
• Startup Assistant for easy access and learning (see p. 11)
The new-look starting point for your photo editing provides a
wealth of cross-product news and PhotoPlus-specific video
tutorials, written tutorials, help, and Tips & Tricks that updates
at regular intervals. The assistant keeps track of unread articles
so you won't miss a thing! An Open option also gives you
access to all your existing work, based on document history.
• Restore last session
If you prefer to skip the Startup Assistant and its new learning
resources, you can restore your last session with PhotoPlus
opening with the same file(s) as last time you used it.
