A selection of photo processing programs

Program features:
- Photoscape– a program that combines a convenient photo editor, a program for batch image processing, as well as many other modules.
Main features of the program:- viewing photos in a folder;
- editing using various color correction tools, filters, retouching and others;
- batch image processing;
- creating collages and GIFs.
It's worth noting that the color filter settings are not as flexible, and some tools will take some time to get to grips with. However, Photoscape is a good option for beginners because it is free.
- Pixlr is a paid application that requires a subscription to use. The functionality available in the paid version is quite extensive. In addition to standard filters and auto-correction, it also has the following interesting tools:
- merging two images into one;
- combining b/w mode and color brush;
- realistic stickers;
- focal blur.
Thus, the functionality of this editor is a little more complicated than the previous ones. In addition, it is only available in English, so we recommend using it when you have already gained experience in other, simpler programs.
- Polarr– shareware program. This means that the trial version has limited features and you have to pay for the full version.
Peculiarities:- a large number of filters, including black and white;
- color correction;
- skin retouching and noise reduction tools;
- setting up vignettes.
The editor also has standard tools, such as cropping and rotating images. Working with color, tone and light is a fairly complex combination of settings, so this editor can also be classified as an application for professional image processing.
- Home Photo Studio– good software, domestically produced, similar in tools to Adobe Photoshop, but much simpler.
So, in this editor you can:- create collages, postcards and calendars;
- apply decorative masks and frames;
- draw over objects;
- perform standard image editing.
The editor is simple enough for a beginner to understand, but a more experienced user should choose something more complex and powerful.
All of the editors described provide basic tools such as cropping, rotating, and adding effects, but each of them has one or another tool that makes them stand out from the others. In order to choose the one that is right for you, it is worth considering your level of proficiency in such programs, as well as the result that you want to get.
