It's dead-easy to use once you read the mini-help and it does a pretty good job combining multiple shots of the same group into one good one. But when I gave it a complex photo with lots of details and wanted to replace a shot where one person moved, it didn't stitch it together exactly right, so left a jagged edge. It only did that in one of the merges, the others looked perfect. But just as bad, when you save it defaults to saving a low-resolution version. It takes a LONG time to save a high-res version - like 5 minutes on my 2GHz PC w/ 512Mb of memory to blend from 2 originals that were 2.25Mb each. In that amount of time I could have used Photoshop Elements to fix the photos by hand. Yes, this was easier but who wants to wait that long? It's still free though!
