[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 3064913, member: 85496"]The simple fact that it only allows for one color background when cropping. I should say "Didn't like " were the wrong words. More like it didn't do what I needed it to do. I find some coins stand out better when you can change the background color to white or grey instead of black. Photoscape allows for this and I never found a way in DPP to do it. Photoscape also has a combining tool that is really useful as well. It is very easy to go from cropping to combining with it.
