Full of features

Photoscape includes just about everything you need to view, optimize, edit, print and have fun with your photos. In fact, it's so complete that many would call it a free Photoshop alternative. Sure, it's not quite up to the level of Photoshop, but it's truly a great alternative to Adobe's big shot - and it makes photo editing a lot more fun!

Easy to use

From the program's main window you can choose what you want to do: view pictures, optimize those that didn't come out so well, print several photos on a single page collage-style or perhaps add any of the dozens of filters and special effects included in the program.

Smart interface

One of the first striking elements in Photoscape is its uncommon interface design. The application is very striking and in many ways it's easier on the eye than Photoshop.

Conclusion

There's really nothing negative to say about Photoscape. Just download it, test it, love it and keep it forever. It's free!

FotoSketcher helps you add some spice to your photos without much fuss. The program includes dozens of drawing styles to apply, which are easily customizable by using sliders to configure color, contrast, stroke intensity and other parameters.

All you need to do is open the image you want to convert into a sketch and select the drawing effect you want to apply. The preview window, though a bit too small, lets you check the result before clicking the "Draw!" button. FotoSketcher will then apply the effect and display the final image beside the original one, so that you can compare both. The program also lets you add a frame to your image.

FotoSketcher also includes basic editing tools to modify the source image, supports skins to customize the program’s interface, and can work in batches with several photos at the same time.

FotoSketcher is the perfect tool for those who want to apply a nice sketch effect to their pictures but don’t dare use use Photoshop.

Mosaics are visually very appealing, but also very hard to create… unless you count on an application like Foto-Mosaik.

With Foto-Mosaik you can generate a virtual mosaic from any photo, using your own image collection as an enormous box of mosaic color tiles. The program takes care of everything and your intervention is limited to selecting the folder where the photo tiles should come from and the one image you want to convert into a mosaic.

The first time you run Foto-Mosaik, you need to create a tile database with your pictures. The larger it is, the better results you'll get in the long run, so be prepared to wait for quite a long time while the program creates the database.

There are several options to customize before creating the mosaic, such as the number of tiles to use or paper format (portrait or landscape). Bear in mind that you'll need a high number of tiles in order to obtain a fairy good result. Ideally these tiles should also be quite varied in color and light, otherwise the resulting mosaic will look plain and dark – or it won't even resemble the original picture at all.

With Foto-Mosaik - and as many photos as you can gather in a database - you'll be able to create a beautiful mosaic from any of your pictures.
