Though some consider PhotoFiltre nothing but a strip-down
version of PhotoFiltre Studio, this photo retouching tool offers you a wide
range of features to help you correct, enhance, and improve your digital
photographs and pictures easily and efficiently. From standard adjustment tools
to artistic effects, from brushes to layers, and from masques to
transparencies, this program offers more functionality than what you would
normally expect from a free retouching tool. PhotoFiltre offers a clean and
nice-to-look-at interface with a two-line toolbar on the top of the screen full
of intuitive icons that cover most of the program’s functionality. Brushers,
erasers, lassos, and color selectors appear on a different panel on the right
side, and all of these features can also be easily accessed using the program’s
standard menus and menu options. Filters range from basic contrast, brightness,
saturation, or gamma correction controls to more creative ones, such as puzzle,
watercolor, pointillism, or negative. These filters can be applied to the whole
image or to specific areas of it, which you can select using various lassos,
magic wands, and automatic shapes (triangle, square, rhombus, etc.).
