Take typical children, add one computer, and you have the makings for conflict. Once a child discovers the wonder of computers, he is hard-pressed to understand why he shouldn't be allowed unlimited access to one. Entertainment software is best left in the store, but when you find software that offers educational value, you'll feel better about the hours your child sits in front of that flickering screen.
Corefx is such software. If your children have shown any interest in graphic design and photo-enhanced artwork, then you'll want to consider the powerful graphics program that is Corefx.
Corefx includes paint, draw, animate, and photo-edit utilities, all in one. The drawing palate includes 12 realistic art tools so your child can design eye-catching paintings, drawings, and illustrations, and even enhance photographs. Each tool can be used individually or be mixed and blended to create a limitless number of effects with spectacular results. The huge range of paper textures, brush sizes, drawing tools, and color selection will encourage countless creations without any of the mess!
Selectable skill levels mean that every child can work within his comfort level and not be overwhelmed with too many choices at once. Menu options and tools can be added, removed or rearranged; tool button sizes can be adjusted, toolbars can be locked or unlocked, and you can even create toolbars with new functions. Best of all is the unlimited use of the "undo" feature. Having worked for years in Photoshop, I am convinced that you can never have too many "undos!"
Any child with basic mouse skills would be successful with the beginner's level, while advanced users will be thrilled with the sophisticated digital editing that reaches beyond the realm of generic effects and includes some of the best features of programs like Photoshop and Corel Draw. These tools are essentially simplified versions of the tools that the professionals use. Users will find the instructions intuitive and very easy to use. If your child has ever wanted to make animated graphics, he may use the animation software tools that are included in Corefx which can create animated GIFs for use on your family's website. The process is simple, and the resulting look professional.
Your child can experiment with images from digital photographs, image scans, and web graphics. Touch up your photos before sharing them with friends and family. Or pull in a JPG straight out of your digital camera, add some text, and you have the makings of some terrific birthday cards. Corefx also includes hundreds of commercial-free, resizable, and editable clipart stamps, and text can be easily added to any creation.
This is an amazing software that has garnered a roomful of awards, such as: a National Parenting Publication Awards (NAPPA) 2005 Gold Award winner; an Award of Excellence with a perfect rating from Children's Technology Review; AEP Distinguished Achievement Award for Most Innovative Software & Best Art Software (The Association of Educational Publishers); and Parent's Choice Award Silver Honor for Software; among many others. |
