Technically speaking, Image Broadway is an editing powerhouse. Its graphics engines allow you to work rapidly and efficiently, while the program also supports advanced editing features, such as layer, color and channel support. The editing options are all present on the main interface, so you won't have to poke around under options to find what you are looking for.

Unfortunately, all these visible options mean that for the first-time user, Image Broadway is a little overwhelming. The interface looks old-fashioned, and isn't terribly easy to find your way around without guidance. Luckily, Image Broadway's help files are very complete and you'll soon be using the multiple image editing tools like a pro.

Image Broadway is a powerful image editing app, but lacks the usability and user community of other similar programs.
