Photoscape review

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

If you need a down-and-dirty photo editor, Photoscape (free) is certainly priced right. But don't think you're going to get an equivalent of Adobe Photoshop ($200) or even a Serif PhotoPlus X5 or Xara Photo & Graphic Designer (both $90). Photoscape is basic, but interesting in its own right if you look beyond the editing tools and play with some of the hidden gems this free program offers.

ArcSoft Perfect365 review

Friday, November 11, 2011

First, the important stuff: Billy Joel loves you just the way you are. Both Aaron Neville and Linda Rondstadt don't know much, but they know they love you. You don't need cosmetic surgery or a dramatic makeover, because you're beautiful, and Christina Aguilera would back me up on that.

You see, beauty comes from within, even if all those Photoshopped and air-brushed magazine covers conspire to suggest otherwise. However, if you never like the way you look in any photo, or if you're just curious to see what you'd look like with a few digital enhancements, ArcSoft's free Perfect365 app serves up that functionality in a very fun and addictive way.

In the seven months since I last reviewed Ashampoo Photo Commander, the product has gone through a major revision, adding a boatload of new features as well as some user interface changes and less prominent tweaks to the way the program used to work.

Kodak EasyShare review

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

Almost as easy to use as its name implies, the Kodak EasyShare software (free) provides consumer-level tools for organizing, sorting, editing, and using your photos in a variety of ways. Though it is designed specifically to work with Kodak cameras and printers (and is supplied with most Kodak hardware), anyone can download it at no cost and use it with any camera or printer.
