Professional Grade Photo Editing Suite
includes the following features:
This program was designed
as a low cost alternative to Adobe Photoshop. It has all the
complex features of Adobe Photoshop, but also tries to simplify the
process of photo enhancement.
Primarily, this is used
as a tool for photo enhancement. Typical uses include resizing and
cropping photos, altering colors, combining multiple images, removing
unwanted image components, and converting between different image
formats, as well as creating graphics and logos. It can also be used to
create basic animated images in GIF format.
The product vision for this software suite is to become a high-end
graphics application for the editing and creation of original images,
icons, graphical elements of web pages and art for user interface
elements. It may also be used as a platform for the development of
cutting-edge scientific image-processing algorithms. But don't let
that intimidate you. You can do the easy stuff, as well as the
hard stuff with this.
Edit your favorite
photos, share them with your friends, save them for future use.

More technical stuff for
the brave
Color: There are several ways of
selecting colors including a using an eyedropper to choose an existing
color, palettes with a limited and color choosers. The built in color
choosers include an RGB/HSV selector or scales, water-color selector,
CMYK selector and a color-wheel selector. Colors can also be selected
using hexadecimal color codes as used in HTML color selection. Indexed
color and RGB color modes are supported natively, other color spaces are
supported using decomposition where each channel of the new color space
becomes a black and white image. CMYK, LAB and HSV are supported this
way. The blend tool can apply a gradient to the surface of an image or
for use with blending, gradients are also integrated into tools such as
the brush tool, when the user paints this way the output color slowly
changes. There are a number of default gradients included, a user may
also create custom gradients with tools provided.
Selections and paths: There are
several tools that can be used to create selections including a
rectangular or circular selection tool, free select tool, fuzzy select
tool (also known as magic wand). More advanced selection tools include
the select by color tool for selecting contiguous regions of color and
the scissors select tool which creates selections semi-automatically
between areas of highly contrasting colors. This also supports a quick
mask mode where a user can use a brush to paint the area of a selection,
visibly this looks much like a ruby lith overlay whilst painting. The
foreground select tool, is an implementation of Simple Interactive
Object Extraction (SIOX) a method used to perform the extraction of
foreground elements, such as a person or a tree in focus. The Paths Tool
allows a user to create vectors (also known as Bézier curves). Paths can
be used to create complex selections around natural curves, paths can
also be named, saved, and painted (or "stroked") with brushes, patterns,
or various line styles.
Image editing: when editing images
there are many tools that can be used, the more common tools include a
paint brush, pencil, airbrush, eraser and ink tools used to create new
or blended pixels. Tools such as the bucket fill and blend tools are
used to change large regions of space in an image and can be used to
help blend images. It also has a selection of smart tools, which are
tools that use more complex mathematics to enable a user to do things
that otherwise would be time consuming or impossible; these smart tools
include the clone tool that copies pixels using a brush, the healing
brush which copies pixels from an area and corrects the tone and color
where it is being used. The perspective clone tool works in a similar
way to the clone tool previously mentioned but also allows a user to
correct for distance changes. The blur and sharpen tool is a brush that
blurs and sharpens. Finally the dodge and burn tool is a brush that
makes target pixels lighter (dodges) or darker (burns). A list of
transform tools include the align tool, move, crop, rotate, scale,
shear, perspective and flit tools.
Layers, layer masks and channels: an image being edited can
consist of many layers sitting in a stack, the user manual suggests that
"A good way to visualize an image is as a stack of transparencies" where
in this terminology each transparency is a layer. Each layer in an image
is made up of several channels, in an RGB image there are normally 3 or
4 channels these consist of a red, green and blue channel individually
these would each look like slightly different grey images but when put
together they make a complete image. The fourth channel that may be part
of a layer is the alpha channel (or layer mask), this channel measures
opacity where a whole or part of an image can be completely visible,
partially visible or invisible. Text layers can be created using
the text tool, allowing a user to write on an image. Text layers are
able to be transformed in several ways, such as converting it to a path
or selection.

Automation, scripts and plugins: It has approximately 150
standard effects and filters, including Drop Shadow, Blur, Motion blur
and Noise. Program operations can be automated with scripting
languages.

There is no need to
purchase another photo editing suite when this professional grade
package will do the same thing for a fraction of the price. A full
manual in pdf format is included on the disk.
