PhotoFiltre in Windows OS has the most necessary tools and serves for editing, creating, and processing images. It helps the user quickly create graphic compositions.
A huge collection of graphic effects allows a beginner to feel like a real pro in the world of photos. You can use standard options (adjustments for contrast, saturation, brightness, color) and many artistic filters. The editor can optimize graphics, process decorative text, create greeting cards and envelopes using ready-made templates. The program's functionality can be significantly expanded with plugins (developer's website).
One of the universal features of PhotoFiltre is working with image fragments. You can apply your own effects to a selected fragment and save it in a separate file.
The program contains over 30 plugins, templates, more than 100 filters; automation of basic functions (drawing frames, resizing, conversion) is performed; icons are created from GIF images; its text effects are advanced (embossing, shadows, rotation); various types of textures and contours; combining and overlaying images.
The application is available to users in two versions: PhotoFiltre Studio and PhotoFiltre Editor. The first is distributed on a paid basis, the second is free. By downloading PhotoFiltre Studio, the user can evaluate the quality of the software product, check the functionality, and the efficiency of the application for 30 days. After that, a license must be purchased.
If the user liked working with the application, they can install the standard version, distributed free of charge for non-commercial use. It has functional limitations that do not negatively affect the productivity of home use. All plugins, masks, and templates available in the paid version are also accessible in PhotoFiltre Editor.
