Ultimate Paint

2008-09-27T08:09:00.001-07:00

Ultimate Paint is a painting program with a wide-range of image processing functions. It is also one of the fastest and most compact programs of its category. We've done everything to keep the code size at a reasonable level. Only fully optimized code is added to the program to ensure that you get the leanest and fastest image editing tools available.

The dialogs and controls are arranged so that everything is at your fingertips. For new users Ultimate Paint has a fast and easy learning period.

The icons of drawing functions and the color selector can be found left to the main window. To the right there's a fast palette for quick color storing and retrieval.

One of the unique features is that you can apply different skins to the program, even easily design your own.

There are several special tools that can only be found in high priced packages. One of them is an image optimizer. It helps you to find the best image settings for saving a particular image with the smallest possible size retaining best quality. You can compare results on-the-fly, zoom in/out particular areas to see the difference.

The navigation panel shows the image around the cursor at 100% magnification ratio which is handy if you're working in a higher zoom and would still like to see the modifications at the original zoom factor. It also displays the entire image and the color parameters of the pixel currently under the cursor.

The Color Selection dialog is easy to use, allows both fast, intuitive and precise setting of a color. A color can be chosen by setting its RGB components (sliders) or by setting its Hue (color circle) and pointing on a color in the Saturation-Value space (color field). For HTML design the color is also represented in hexadecimal format.

The Image Browser dialog allows you to browse through the images on your hard disk. One of the unique features of Ultimate Paint is the ability to browse effects, too: you can see the thumbnails of the different filters and select the desired one.

Ultimate Paint has more than a hundred professional quality effects which is outstanding among image processing programs. Most of these plug-in effects have several adjustable parameters which gives lots of freedom to get exactly what you desire. See the preview of available effects. Most effects have instant preview (small window), and you can also preview the effect on the whole image. Each effect has a detailed help which describes its usage in detail.

Align and resize your images interactively with one movement of the mouse or more accurately using numeric values. Add an optional title text or border around your image, and print the final design - all with the advanced print dialog of UP.

New! Composition Tools
Divine Proportion and the Rule of Thirds help you visually arrange a blank canvas prior to sketching or painting. This is ideal for helping you create stunning compositions, whether you're painting from a blank canvas or cropping a photograph before transforming it into a painting.

Widely used throughout history by artists, designers and architects, divine proportion is a ratio of approximately 3 to 5, which is generally recognized as aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Corel Painter X provides palette controls for the Divine Proportion composition tool, which let you adjust the orientation, size, angle of rotation, display colors, opacity and grid levels.

It's now easier than ever to create stunning paintings from photographs. Major improvements offer greater control when underpainting, and new SmartStroke™ technology uses brush strokes that dynamically adhere to the lines and contours in the original painting.

Enhanced! Underpainting
This palette includes color schemes based on various artistic styles, such as Impressionist, Classical, Modern, Watercolor, Sketchbook and Chalk Drawing. You can also match your Underpainting palette to that of any open image.

Enhanced! Auto-Painting Palette
Automatically apply random paint strokes that vary in stroke type, direction and pressure. Choose the type of brush stroke and adjust the preset options to determine how the brush interacts with the canvas.
New! SmartStroke™ Painting
Create brush strokes that follow the lines and contours in your original photo. By enabling Smart Strokes, you can dynamically change brush size, stroke length and pressure, based on the detail and focal areas of your original photo.

New! Universal Mixer Palette
For multicolor selection, this palette gives you better control over color blending between the Mixer palette and the canvas.
See it in action.
Enhanced! Dodge and Burn Tools
These new image enhancement tools make it easier than ever to prepare your photos for paintings. The Dodge tool lets you lighten, or overexpose, specific areas of an image. Conversely, the Burn tool lets you darken, or underexpose, specific areas of an image.

PhotoPlus 6.03

2008-09-10T08:28:00.000-07:00

Publisher's description of PhotoPlus
PhotoPlus has the features you'll need for importing or creating pictures and animations as well as for manipulating colors and effects and final exporting. Built-in support for TWAIN scanners and cameras makes it easy to bring in your own photos, while comprehensive import filters let you open just about any standard bitmap image. Once you have your image in PhotoPlus, you can enhance and alter its onscreen appearance with a diverse toolkit of functions and effects. A full range of export options (with special attention to Web graphics), plus powerful optimization capabilities, round out this high-performing package.

Editor's review of PhotoPlus

At its essence, PhotoPlus is a Photoshop clone without the most advanced features, for a fraction of the price. The interface is almost identical, from the tool icons to the layers pane. PhotoPlus allows working with several layers and supports masks, but you can't add new toolbars. Using layers, you can create and edit animations for the Web, and a number of filters are here. The set of tools is not as large as Photoshop's, but it's enough for retouching photos. Web designers will appreciate the tool that allows you to immediately view how JPEG compression will impact image quality. The trial version disables some of the tools and filters. In our opinion, PhotoPlus will be more than enough for home users and intermediate Web designers.

Fast Photo

The fastest way to edit auction photos

Tired of spending hours prepping and uploading your auction photos? You need Fast Photos! It is specially designed to speed you through auction photo editing quickly and easily.

Why get Fast Photos? Our customers say it best:

“Thank You! You have created a great and very simple program that does a beautiful job very quickly. When you sell on on-line auctions anything that saves you time is saving you money. I have many other photo programs but it is yours I turn to now!” Earle Evernham

“...I don’t think you could make it any easier to use.” Dianna Nuss
Top Benefits -- Better Auction Photos Faster

Fast Photos is the only photo editor designed to simplify and speed up auction photo editing tasks.

Create Pictures That Sell Better

An effective auction picture sells by presenting your item (and you) in the best possible light. Fast Photos has tools specifically designed for producing pictures that do this. Here are some examples:

Enhance Your Photos - image enhancement tools give you precise control over brightness, contrast, color balance and gamma. The gamma tool adjusts the brightness of image 'midtones' independent of shadows or bright areas.
Instant Resize - tool has the most popular auction photo sizes built-in, so you don't have to hunt through menus and dialogs. Or use it to create thumbnails at any size.
High Quality Sharpen - uses the high quality 'Unsharp Mask' technique which sharpens edges without degrading overall image quality.
Optimize Images for Fast Downloads - you can optimize your pictures with JPEG compression so they load quickly without losing image quality. Adjust JPEG Quality (compression) level and see instantly how that affects your picture quality and file size.
Watermark Your Images - text watermark tool makes the text transparent so it does not obscure your auction item. Helps prevent image theft.
Better Image Presentation - the solid border and drop shadow tool focusses the viewer's eye on your image. Makes for a more professional and distinctive style.
Take a look at an editor screen shot.

Simple To Learn - Even For Auction Photo Beginners

Whether you are new to auction photo editing or a 'guru' you will be up and running in minutes, getting productive work done. Fast Photos has several key features that make it easy to get started quickly:

Built-in Training - Overview, Getting Started Guide, and Auction Photo Tips.
Step-By-Step User Interface - designed to handle the steps needed to prep every auction photo: browse, edit, upload, and preview the results. It assists your workflow but does not restrict you like a Wizard-style interface does.
Just the Essential Commands - that you need and nothing else. No need to hunt through menus and dialogs to find the handful of commands that matter in editing auction pictures. This is the benefit of an editor specifically designed for the task.
Intuitive Editing - with editing commands laid out in one screen in the order that they should be used. Every change you make to the image can be undone if you change your mind.

Get More Pictures Edited Faster

The more pictures you edit with Fast Photos the more you will appreciate the time you save with its integrated workflow and its special 'editing automation' tools.

One-Click Edit Commands - all the editing commands can be done with one mouse click. And you can Undo any change you don't want.
One-Click Automation Command - can do up to five steps that you can configure with one click. You can do any or all of these commands at once: Auto Enhance, Resize, Sharpen, Add Text, or Add a Border or Drop Shadow.
Create Gallery Thumbnail - this unique one-click command creates a perfectly centered properly sized thumbnail image ready to use in an eBay Gallery.
Manage Your Images with Thumbnails - so you can see what you are working on. Essential image file management commands are built into the Browser so you don't have to open the image to work with it: duplicate, rename, rotate, and delete, among others.
Built-in FTP Uploader - no need to start up another tool to upload your images. And you can upload as many images as you want at a time.

Simple To Use - More Convenient

Fast Photos has convenience built in. Since you are working with images, you work with them visually:

Easy and Fast Browsing - with the Thumbnail Browser. That helps when you shoot a lot of pictures trying to get just the right photo.
Tray Shows Thumbnails of Your Current Images - so its easy to see which ones you are working on.
Unlimited Undo and Redo - if you change your mind while editing just go back to the version you like.
Preview Uploaded Images - in your web browser with one click to check image size and quality and make sure your links work.

Photo-Suit Professional

2008-08-24T23:01:00.000-07:00

Photo-Suit Professional offers a solid set of features in a familiar, Photoshop-inspired interface. New users should however be warned that the toolbar, the tools box and the palette box will be visible only after the corresponding options in the View menu are checked.

We liked the selection of tools. Though it is not as wide as in Photoshop it is still enough to meet most users' needs – there is the brush, airbrush, fill tool, eyedropper (get color), stamp, etc. and also a decent collection of adjustments and filters. Unfortunately, the stamp cannot be used as the clone tool, as in Photoshop. To use it, you have to select color with the eyedropper tool or the palette.

Actually, the lack of tooltips or extended user help makes the work a lot more difficult, so users with little experience may not handle some tools efficiently. Moreover, the interface is not context-sensitive. That is, it does not immediately display parameters for selected tools, so you have to open the totally independent Tool options dialog to adjust tools' parameters.

Surprisingly, you don't seem to be able to zoom out on images that makes working with large pictures a little problematic. We also found it inconvenient that preview windows provided for most adjustments and effects are too small. But the biggest disappointment for users will be that the software will let them save files in bmp format only.

Of course you can test the software to see if it will prove useful to you - all the more so because Photo-Suit Professional does not leave watermarks on images during its 7-day trial period. Anyway, we believe that the program usability should definitely be improved.
