Corel PhotoImpact Working desktop within PhotoImpact with the About screen in the foreground, running under Windows 7 Developer Ulead Stable release 13 / 2008; 18 years ago (2008) Operating system Windows Type Raster graphics editor License Trialware, SaaS Website http://www.paintshoppro.com/en/products/photoimpact/

**Ulead PhotoImpact** (originally called **Iedit**) was a raster and vector graphics editing program published by [Ulead Systems](/source/Ulead_Systems).

Alongside its image editing capabilities, the program also featured HTML tools, such as a rollover assistant, an [imagemap](/source/Imagemap) assistant, an HTML assistant, a background designer and a button library. PhotoImpact also used Photoshop filters in .8bf format.

PhotoImpact had vast support for [graphic file formats](/source/Graphic_file_format) but also used its own UFO and UFP file format which supported all the aforementioned features.

The last version of PhotoImpact released in 2008 was X3/13.[1]

In December 2006 [Corel](/source/Corel) acquired Ulead Systems. Corel continued to market PhotoImpact until September 2009 when they discontinued the product, focusing on the competing product [Paint Shop Pro](/source/Paint_Shop_Pro). Though development has been halted, the product is still being sold by Corel. A version of PhotoImpact licensed as PhotoImpact Pro is sold by *Nova Development*. It is a rebranded version of PhotoImpact with no program differences. However, while the Ulead and Corel specs omit [Windows 7](/source/Windows_7), the Nova specs in 2014 mention that Windows 7 and [Windows 8.x](/source/Windows_8.x) are supported.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

For users, there are various help forums and tutorial banks available, both factory and non-factory.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
