Photo! Editor |
|
|
Photo! Editor works well for beginning and intermediate photographers who need a basic image editor that is quick and easy to learn. The left panels follow the already familiar Explorer interface for file selection, and the Menu bar offers an intuitive approach with an optional Manual mode available for each function by clicking on the icon or down arrow beside it. After selecting an adjustment category a new window pops up with the image, controls, options, and a help screen that can be disabled. What Photo! Editor doesn't offer is a selection tool, layers, or Shadow/Highlight correction. Nonetheless Photo! Editor provides two modes of Sharpening, or Deblurring, decent control of color, special Lighting effects, and it makes a nice addition to a photographer's toolbox. It's found a place in mine. |

Using the Auto Correction Mode we can see that the Brown eyes corrected better. |

Manual Mode improved the Blue eyes but not the Brown eyes. |
