About PhotoWorks

PhotoWorks is an image editing solution that helps professional photographers fix color balances, add virtual makeup, change the background, remove specific objects, and more from within a centralized platform. It allows team members to add, resize and rotate elements, such as watermarks, captions, superimposed logos, clipart, stickers and other image layers.

PhotoWorks allows photo editors to use the portrait magic module to smoothen skin, whiten teeth, remove blemishes and tweak facial features, including nose, lips, eyebrow and chin. It lets users retouch vintage images by removing rips, scratches and stains. Additionally, it enables professionals to crop images, map tones, reduce digital noise, apply effects, add vignettes, correct distortions and more.

PhotoWorks allows staff members to use a slider drag to optimize the hue, saturation, and luminance of multiple colors in an image. It is available on a perpetual license and support is extended via video tutorials, email, phone and other online measures.

Want to Save Dark Photos??

Love the ease of Photoworks. The Learning curve is great. Staff offers help with any questions when purchasing. I really enjoy moving the bars (sharpness, etc. ) & seeing immediate changes on the photo!

Pros:

I absolutely love this program. It has saved me many hours of set up & retaking photos. I am NOT a pro. I am volunteered (or volunteer) to do photos of projects for groups. My camera did not respond, many pictures were very dark & I was physically sick. I searched the net, found PhotoWorks, and did a few tests with some of the darkest pictures. I honestly could not believe the results! I bought the program the same day ( early Christmas present to me)!! i mam thrilled! have used PhotoWorks more time than i thought i would, always wit6h great results.

Cons:

Haven't found any negatives yet! add on I wish the disc of the program would have cost a bit less. I bought it (I did not want to take any chances on losing PhotoWorks)

Software quality and performance

For most common graphic and photo editing, this software is sufficient and powerful enough to sastify my works for personal or business purposes.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Integrated most useful and common features for photo editing work. These features are powerful enough to sastify your photo editing results.

Cons:

This software is for editing with single layer photo. For multiple-layer graphic editing and generating work, more powerful software like Photoshop would be needed.

Reasons for switching to PhotoWorks

It doesn't have enough photo editing features I need for a good price value.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the detailed review, Philip! We are already thinking on the multiple layer editing, and this feature may be added in one of the future updates.

PhotoWorks - my thoughts

Very user friendly, easy to learn, great tools and time savers

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I got Photoworks very recently and have used it quite a bit, since I had some important face swapping photo work I needed to do. Photoworks is very user friendly and easy to figure out and the videos are extremely helpful. I also have had GIMP a long time, which is a very complex graphics program. It's much more difficult to do the work on GIMP. I'm now using both programs together on my pics. GIMP can pretty much do anything, but it's very difficult to learn and I must say there are certain things on PhotoWorks that are incredible time savers that would take forever on GIMP like the photo touch up tools that can zero in on the face or the complete photo. You can very quickly try about 20 variations until you find the best one. If you're looking for a program that's easy to learn and also powerful in certain features, PhotoWorks may be the best choice.

Cons:

Can't save the workspace to continue on another day. No manual, only tutorials

Photoworks Is a Great Alternative to Photoshop for Basic Image Editing

I love using this product because I get great results very fast. I've never had an issue with the software such as glitches, freezing, erratic results, etc. There are tutorials on how to use the software but it is so intuitive that instructions really aren't needed to get the gist of a menu option upon first use.

Pros:

It's user friendly, easier to learn than other photo editing software, and it's priced just right.

Cons:

I do have Photoshop and it has a multitude of plug-in assets, actions, templates, filters, fonts, and more that Photoworks doesn't have at this moment.

Vendor Response

Hi Reginald! Thank you for the review and your suggestion. We've already created additional effects, clipart, and backgrounds for PhotoWorks, and we are already working on more add-ons.

This photo app is as user friendly and intuitive as the the more expensive editors are confusing and intimidating> I really enjoy it!

It would be nice to have more flexibility in terms of text and frames. But these are minor minor issues and theyhelped me find easy solutions.
