I’ve tried quite a few free photo-editing software programs over the years and I have yet to find any that I like better than PhotoScape 3.5.
This is user-friendly software at it’s best. I am not a techie person by nature! When the instructions get too complicated, boring or technical, I tend lose interest fast and eventually give up on a project. Needless to say, this can be frustrating.
In the past, I’ve tried the free versions of: Adobe Photoshop, Picasa, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Flickr to name a few. My needs were simple.
Easy ways to organize photos into folders, editing capabilities that included cropping, red eye removal, tweaking colors a bit when necessary and if possible, some of the ‘fun stuff’ like the ability to make easy collages, photo headers, banners etc. With PhotoScape you get all this and a whole lot more.
This archive article at About.com re: PhotoScape explains some of it’s main features in more detail and also includes (the best part) a long list of mainly happy PhotoScape users who have commented on their experiences with this software.
For the Ched photo, it was easy to fill in the background to accomodate the text cloud (which btw is over-the top on purpose!) and there are many, many other fun add-ons to jazz up photos in fun or more formal ways.
I also appreciate that this is a full-version of this software and not a limited trial version with endless requests to buy, buy, buy after the fact. No pop-ups or email spam either.
A very easy to navigate and understand menu too:
If you are techie-challenged (like I am but getting better) or maybe just looking for an easy way to work with and organize your photos without a hefty price tag attached,PhotoScape is definitely worth a try.
If you do, let me know how it goes!
