If your child is an aspiring artist, the Learning Company Kid Pix Deluxe 4 may be the ideal art tool to help fuel his or her huge imagination. Freshly updated with an easier-than-ever interface, a larger creative canvas, and a host of irresistible new tricks and tools, Kid Pix Deluxe 4 Home Edition invites artistic kids to paint, stamp, scribble, write, imagine, explore and dream -- all with the click of a mouse. 
A easy-to-view menu bar, rollover descriptions, and helpful videos to speed up classroom adoption. | 
Teachers can control graphics and background libraries for individual projects. | Think of Kid Pix Deluxe 4 as the ultimate creative playground for your child. With it you can create dynamic works of art using a variety of virtual media -- from oil paints and collage to rainbows, trees and more. Kid Pix lets you work with traditional art tools like chalk, paint, pencil and crayons in the Realistic Paint Mode, or "crazy art tools" such as the "electric mixer," wacky brushes, spray paint and more. The sky truly is the limit to your child's imagination, and Kid Pix knows that better than anyone. A nifty Sound Art! feature lets your child paint wild pictures using the sound of his or own voice! And we all know how much bugs play a role in a youngster's imagination. Kid Pix lets them spray scenes with 3D shapes, including bugs and candy, and it lets them get real messy with the use of special effects such as warp, splash and smear. The program even lets children create their own animated movies! As an added feature that will help your child create their own holiday gifts and enhance the family photo albums, Kid Pix has a photo customization feature that allows you to import photos so that you child can customize them with thousands of stickers, stamps and special effects. Your child can choose from more than 500 backgrounds that can enhance the photos, and from the new creations they can make slide shows, storybooks and much more.

 If there was a Zero Star setting, it would have received it! July 11, 2010
KD
If you liked version 3, you better keep it. The screen resolution problem with version 4 is flat out in-excusable since the earlier v3 did not share the same issue. This should be a simple programming 101 line of code. Shame on Broderbund for not at least keeping the basic interface, the 'exit' door is gone, the first thing my grandkids did was look for the old familiar GUI, its gone! Now only a ridiculously small play area and a pathetic menu bar at the top that only confuses them. A word of advise to you application guys, if you are going to 'update' or 'improve' something, make sure you are not destroying the very thing that made the product such a success early on, add the features but leave the stuff that worked alone! DON'T BUY THIS!!!!
Horrible Customer service!! June 15, 2010

We cannot download the software into our computer. According to the information that came with it, for Technical Support we need to go to the support website - we did. It gave us 2 options, find info on our problem in the "forum", or send them a message. I couldn't find problem in the forum, so I sent a message. We never recieved a reply (it asked for both my e-mail & phone number). After a few weeks, I tried to call the customer service number to complain about the technical support, and I get a message saying I will probably be holding for 30 minutes! I did not hold that long. I have tried to send another message, but now I cannot find where I sent the first message. I don't know if they got rid of that option, or I just can't find it again. We were able to successfully download it on my husband's work laptop, but he is rarely able to bring that home, so we have only only used the software one time. Bottom line is my 8 year old wanted this very badly (has it at her school), and paid for it with her own birthay money several months ago, and cannot even use it!
I don't consider this an Amazon problem - love Amazon. But I recommend staying away from anything made be Encore!!
Installation issues May 3, 2010
VAC (Rochester, NY)
Program came with a bug and would not install properly (DirectX .cab problem). Will have to return it. Very disappointing to my 6 year old and irratating to me. Uses an old version of Quicktime and asks you to uninstall your newer version in order to install the old version. Too bad b/c my daughter really likes using it at school.
 Fun and educational - your kids will thank you! April 14, 2010

If your child is creative and loves to draw like mine does, THIS is the software to buy! The program is highly interactive and has a very quick learning curve. The designers obviously put a lot of thought towards developing a program especially for kids. Kid Pix provides hours of fun entertainment that helps children hone their creative talents while, at the same time, learning valuable computer skills. My daughter had used Kid Pix at her school and always talked about it. We purchased it for home use and it was one of the wisest software choices we've made. To say that Kid Pix is a bargain is an understatement...neither you or your children will be disappointed!
DO NOT BUY for Mac OS 10.6 March 20, 2010
Earlysville resident (Earlysville, VA 22936)
Kid Pix Deluxe 4 simply will not install on OS 10.6. Worse: if you go to the support page, it turns out that, apart from a few generic paragraphs ("quit all applications before installing!") there is no support available for Kid Pix. None. You're not even permitted to e-mail them for support. "E-mail support is no longer available for this product."
An absolute waste of money for OS 10.6. I'll be requesting a refund.
Shame on Broderbund! I'm puzzled as to why Amazon would sell this. Maybe it works OK on Windows.
