It includes basic functions like resize, red eye corrector, and cropping. It’s cheap and easy to find and download. Cactus in the desert only bloom for a short time in the early spring. I should post a photo that shows timing of taking the photo is more important than photo editing. It also has very awesome screen capture functions that Windows screen capture can’t do. Final photo will be the building with the sign for it in the corner of that photo. Example take a photo of something (building, mountain, etc.) and a photo of the sign identifying and explaining the object. It is also great at layering a photo on top of another photo. My favorite function is to resize photos which allow you to resize in inches to what the print size would be and correlates that to screen size automatically. There is a ton of support (manual, forums, Facebook, etc.) and many users to help you, although I have found it very easy to use. It handles over 500 different file formats so is a very good file format convertor and has many batch functions. It very easy user interface for numerous functions and lets you experiment and see what some changes will look like before you make the changes. My main go to photo app is XnView (free version) at the link below: I have never found one app that does it all that doesn’t cost an arm and two legs. Instead of spending time looking for the right editing software, invest the time in capturing the right image. The only image correction I do now is a little cropping in order to reduce file size to put something online. Now, about the only multiple images I might take are of sunrises or sunsets, when the colors are constantly changing. That’s why my learning curve was spent in black & white. Developing color is a lot more tedious than black & white, and everything about it is more expensive. At first, most were not.Įventually I got to the place I wanted to be if I frame the right picture in the viewfinder, all I have to do is develop it and print it. After development I would print a contact sheet, then go over it with a magnifying glass to see if any frame was worth printing. I spent years with black and white 35mm film chasing light and shadow, literally thousands of frames developed in my own darkroom, learning the technique of framing in the viewfinder. But almost invariably, my starting point to edit a photo is FastStone Image Viewer. I use several other image editors in addition to FastStone, including Corel PaintShop Pro and a version of PaintShop from the 1990s that has a few simple features that I find easier than in the newer programs. But, for me, the limitations are unimportant compared to all the software can do and how easy it is to use. I am sure a professional graphic artist needs more features. The file sizes of edited JPGs and PDF collages seem considerably larger than those of similar JPGs and PDFs made by other software. It has a few limitations that I sometimes bump up against (eg max text font size of 150 points).
