Photo Editing Software
Reviews
Having the right photo editing software is key to making
good digital photos great.
The photo editing software that comes with most digital
cameras or online photo services is pretty basic: usually there
is a red-eye reduction tool and a crop tool. And a number of
them have an "instant fix" tool that is supposed to
correct color and lighting, but some over or under correct.
To make your photos stand out, a separate graphics software
program is a MUST.
There are several great photo editing software programs
for less than $100. For all-around excellence, it is hard
to beat Adobe
Photoshop Elements 6. For ease of use, ACDSee
Photo Editor and Photoshop
Elements really shine, and the new Corel
Paint Shop Pro X2 is a real contender. For strong web-output
capabilities in addition to robust editing, Ulead
PhotoImpact is tops. The main thing is, these are all
great programs with their own strengths and weaknesses, depending
on your specific needs. Click the links below for detailed
reviews of the top photo editing software programs. Ratings
are based on features, ease-of-use and value for the money.
