Introduction

PhotoFiltre is a relatively small application and unlike Photoshop, will install and launch very quickly. The interface, loaded with all the features and options, can be confusing at first glance but you'll soon get used to it. The right side is composed of the shape and drawing tools and an optimizable color palette. The top bar has all the essential image editing and modification options. PhotoFiltre sadly doesn't let you customize the interface and choose your favorite tools.

Features

Among all the image modification tools, of particular usefulness is the quick contrast/hue and saturation buttons because you can check out the effects and immediately and easily correct the image if you're not satisfied with its quality. If you trust PhotoFiltre, you can also let it adjust these parameters automatically.

Like any self-respecting image editing application, PhotoFiltre includes the most widely used filters to transform your image, but if you need to make really significant changes, you'll find yourself limited. Furthermore, unlike Photoshop, PhotoFiltre doesn't include layers, making it more challenging to work on different elements of the image separately.

Like the excellent free image viewer Irfanview, PhotoFiltre covers the majority of image formats and can batch process and convert images rapidly. PhotoFiltre has five different zoom options yet they seem to be more or less similar. The magnifier is probably less precise than the drop down percentage pane, and the auto zoom adjusts the image’s size according to PhotoFiltre's window size.

The image explorer is located at the bottom of the screen, and if you set it according to your image file you'll be able to quickly preview all your pictures. However, if you work with multiple image files, it can quickly become confusing, as you’ll have to open up an explorer tree pane every time to look for your pictures.

PhotoFiltre contains all the essential tools and options to edit and optimize pictures.

Sometimes it's great to take a normal image and give it twist with a bit of texture to add some depth to it.

That's exactly what Xfader is designed for in that it adds texture to images without borders so that you can use them as original and impressive website images, screensavers or desktop backgrounds. The program includes several tools for adding filters, text, shape effects and even 3D sterograms. There are basic features such as color adjustment options (i.e. brightness, contrast, hue etc.) plus an image resize. The problem with this program is that you can add so many effects that you can easily get carried away and ruin your original beyond all recognition. There is however an undo function which can remove the last 10 steps or changes you've made. The program is also rather limited in the image formats it supports - only JPG and BMP are accepted. The latest version however has added some cool extras such as support for a few more more file types supported, more flexible color gradients, a better looking user interface and it can now be taken on the move on a USB stick or portable device.

This is a powerful program able to transform any image into something more original although it needs to support a wider range of image formats to score more highly.
