Q : What is Photosounder?
A : Photosounder is a new and innovative sound editing and synthesis tool that allows you to edit sound in powerful new ways by turning the entire sound into an image that accurately describes all of the sound's features. It can therefore accomplish things that are simply impossible with any other tool. It also allows you to use images, all sorts of images, to create new sounds that are nothing like what we know, or perhaps even more interestingly to create images that produce familiar sounds.

Q : Why should I buy Photosounder?
A : Photosounder is the only product to realise the extraordinary and unsuspected potential of full image-based editing of sounds. No other product is capable of what Photosounder is, in either sound editing capabilities or in ease-of-use and quality of sound regarding synthesis from images. Photosounder turns a collection of images into a gold mine of improbable sounds, and allows you to transform the fabric of sound as it never was possible before.

Q : Can Photosounder run in Linux?
A : Photosounder works very well on Linux using the latest development release of Wine.
