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!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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)

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: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

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

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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

The overall experience is excellent, so I have been using it for the second year as my main program for photo editing.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

Photo Works contains most of the necessary photo editing features that are sufficient for beginners and advanced amateurs. It has a very user-friendly interface that is extremely easy to navigate. I have edited most of my photos in Photo Works and did not need any other programs. Additionally, the technical support is excellent—fast and efficient.

#### Cons

My suggestion would be to improve the denoise function to a higher level and the function for removing unwanted objects from photos (Healing brush - fix small blemishes), which takes too long and often yields unsatisfactory results

#### Vendor response

Hello Stjepan! Thank you for your comments. We are always looking to improve the experience for our users and really appreciate the feedback.

### Hobbyist's Review, written by " Rick's Wildlife Photography"

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Richard B.

- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months

Not in business use but the the experience has been good.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

As an experienced amateur wildlife photographer hobbyist and now 74yrs old I can do so many things with PhotoWorks, not only to just improve my results, but to do fun and interesting things with my photos without having to have an in depth knowledge of all the time consuming and confusing technical no how required to use programs such as Photoshop. Obviously from the earlier sign in details you required and the choices therein , your review request is perhaps not really aimed at retired persons or amateur photographers however your program is an absolute treasure for the likes of us, and there are a lot of us out here. As with all things worthwhile practice makes perfect but, for example, it is even possible to eventually, after repetitively altering already altered photos, to come up with a family photo showing five generations all in the one photo that looks totally realistic and genuine. I love your program folks.

#### Cons

I've been too busy enjoying the software at this stage that I haven't noticed any particular dislikes.

#### Reasons for switching to PhotoWorks

I switched from a program that was far too complex when I can achieve exactly what I want here without the underlying knowledge of the science behind it.

The other photo editing program I experimented with told me of layers. I understood the concept to a point. PhotoWorks probably uses the layer concept but the tasks I done so far I didn't have to rely on understanding which layer did what in the overall edited photo

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I can accomplish the same task that I did in much $$$ programs in LESS TIME and with videos on how to make the picture butter than it was. If I run into a new problem, so far there has been videos showing me how to make it happen. Therefore being MUCH easier to use. I also like the way it places the term "edited" on the saved product, definitly helps when I go back to make more edits

#### Cons

You pay for what you get and I MOST wanted a program that could eliminate objects in the photo and not have to do the "trial and error" method OVER and OVER. On the first day I understood how to remove an object and replace with a nearby object. PhotoWorks does have limitations ... OR tools that I haven't found yet. You get into doing what you need done and move on, so it's possible it's not the software's fault.

#### Reasons for switching to PhotoWorks

Over the years I learned how to remove objects with Photoshop Elements 9, then moved to Elements 2018, and I STILL never received the product "how to" videos even they were supposed to be available. It was learn a trick or two from a friend or do the trial & error method. I have enjoyed PhotoWorks very much

#### Vendor response

Hi William, thank you very much for your review! Glad that you found our tutorials very useful. If you lack certain functionality in our software, feel free to send us your feedback - we're open to new ideas, and will try to implement them in future updates.

### For small business owners

Overall, quick to learn with tutorials and videos. Easy to use beyond learning. I liked the background remover - used the tutorial, and then it was like magic to remove!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I was able to learn quickly how to insert our logo and add it to images via overlay. Important for our remodeling and construction before/after pictures. We like adding our logo, so our photos can be trusted (and owned) as our work. It is important to brand!

#### Cons

I was excited about the "batch" view - but it would not let me save our unique logo file. You can create and save a "signature" template - which must be created (and not imported) within the software. [I had wanted to add our logo as overlay on a batch of pictures, and am only able to do so on individual images.]

#### Reasons for switching to PhotoWorks

Full adobe photoshop is expensive - and I do not need ALL of those features.

#### Vendor response

Hi Heather, thank you so much for your review, and for the comment on adding logos! I've forwarded this to the project manager, so we might add the option of importing a custom logo and saving it as a template in future updates.

### A good solid package that needs further improvement

- Reviewer: Chris D.
- Verified reviewer: Yes

- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: September 2021
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall I like PhotoWorks, but I have decided not to use it until the issues summarised above have been resolved.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

I need photo editing software for personal use to clean up thousands of old 35mm colour slides that I have digitised. My goal is simply to remove defects from the images, e.g. incorrect exposure, colour balance and blemishes, not to add special effects. I compared PhotoWorks version 10.0 with Adobe Photoshop Elements version 18.0. Both have easy-to use auto enhancement features that produce similar results. However PhotoWorks offers more granular manual correction of individual image attributes, which enables good results to be obtained from problem images, eg very under- or over-exposed. The only retouching option I have used is the Healing Brush, which allows blemished due to dust, fibres, mold, etc to be corrected. PhotoWorks performs well at this. The PhotoWorks team was very responsive when I requested an option to add templates for visible captions on images.

#### Cons

Performance is disappointingly slow when PhotoWorks applies corrections to images - typically with lag times of 1 or more seconds - which makes the removal of a large number of blemishes time-consuming. One of my must-have requirements is the ability to add visible captions to each photo using a consistent format (font, size, colour, opacity, position on canvas, etc). The PhotoWorks Text Templates option goes some way towards providing this, but does not yet offer consistent caption positioning, nor the ability to alter a caption once the image has been saved. The opacity option also needs improvement.

#### Reasons for choosing PhotoWorks

Although I have purchased a licence for Photoworks version 10.0, I am continuing to use PhotoShop Elements until the issues summarised above have been resolved.
