My sister, Heidi, & I have a website, DigiScrapInfo.com where we host tutorials that we’ve written for using ACDSee Photo Manager & Photo Editor. Our specialty is organizing digital scrapbooking supplies (in addition to photos) & utilizing ACDSee Photo Editor for scrapbooking. We also have tutorials for doing creative things with photos such as selectively colorizing part of a photo (as shown) or cutting an image out of a photo.

And we know that many of you are just as excited to talk about our products as we are!
