Free Photo Editing and Organizing Software
REVIEW: Fotobounce Photo Organisation Software PC/Mac
Photo editors allow you to create and modify bitmap-based graphics and photographic images. This includes tasks such as painting and drawing, color correction, photo enhancement, creating special effects, image conversion, as well as adding text and shapes to graphics. Your image editor should be flexible and intuitive because it will be your most powerful photo project tool. There are many programs available for beginners, to advanced photo editors. But unless they can perform all the tasks above to a certain degree of satisfaction, they should only be considered a companion to your main photo editing application.
Free Photo Editors
If you just starting out with photo editing or your thinking of, then I would suggest first testing out free or inexpensive photo editors to get familiar with the functions. This will also help determine if you will be further interested in other software. These programs are usually shareware or freeware and they're generally not available in retail software stores. Although shareware and freeware is sometimes not as stable or widely used as retail software, it is often very full-featured and cheap if not free. There are a wide variety of free photo editors available on the internet and all you need to do is find the right one to match your requirements.
Beginner Editors
These photo editors offer core image editing features with an emphasis on ease of use. They often include helpful wizards to walk users through common tasks, and they should include tutorials or handy on-screen tips for getting started. In addition the user interface will be very basic, straightforward and clean. Many also come pre-loaded with one-click presets or professionally-designed templates to assist novice users in achieving polished results right away. Unfortunately, many of the editors designed for beginners sacrifice features for ease of use, reducing the programs overall flexibility. This may result in frustrated users, after they have progressed beyond the initial learning stages and wish to go further with there software only to find they are limited.
Advanced Editors
These photo editors offer the core image editing features along with additional high-end capabilities for professionals. Professional photographers, graphic designers, desktop publishers, Web developers, digital artists, and small business users all need to work with an image editor at some point. Photo editors for professionals or buisness' will require stability, flexibility, high end features, and should allow for a streamlined workflow among other features. For business who are short on time, or on qualified employees, automated capabilities can be a huge bonus. Although they may increase the initial program price they can save valuable time and money in the long run.

This article sets out to explain some of the editing tools that are available to the amateur photographer in three photo editing suites. The modern amateur photographer is almost certainly using a digital camera to capture images of family festivities, celebrations and special events and needs photo editing software to edit and adjust photos that can then be stored digitally, added to online albums or printed off.
So, ease of use is an important consideration - ease of use of the editing tools and ease of the final production of an album that can be copied to CD/DVD or uploaded to Photobucket, Flickr or other social media sites.
1) Photoscape (free of charge)
There are a number of 'open source' photo editing tools available for free, either to download onto your computer like Gimp or Photoscape, or to use directly online, like Picasa and Pixlr. Let's start with Photoscape. Don't be put off by the fact that Photoscape is free - it is a comprehensive and powerful photo editing tool. Although the user interface is a little clunky - you choose your application from a ring of icons - the applications themselves are very easy to use.
Photoscape is:
A viewer - you can view photos in your albums and create a slideshow.
An editor - you can resize, adjust brightness and colour, adjust white balance, correct the backlight, add frames, balloons, mosaic, add text, draw pictures, crop photos, remove red-eye and repair with a cloning tool. Plus all of the above can be done in batch editing mode to edit the whole or part of an album quickly.
A printer - sized to your choice - to produce portrait shots or passport/wallet photos.
A combiner - lets you add photos together to make one, and resize to your liking.
A splitter - slices photos into several pieces.
An Animated Gif producer - you can add photos or images to make a final animated 'cartoon' quickly.
A RAW image converter - to convert RAW images to.jpg or.tif.
2) PhotoPlus (about £70 incl. VAT)
Available from many outlets, including the high street and online, PhotoPlus is from the Serif stable of software. It is a comprehensive software package, capable of producing professional looking results. Contained within it are tools that enable you to:
Convert RAW images - there are many types of raw image depending upon the make of your camera, but they can all be likened to photo negatives - not an image, but containing all the data needed to produce an image. Converting the data is like developing a positive print, adjusting colour grading and white balance along the way.
Compose High Dynamic Range (HDR) images - more of this later.
Export images with their EXIF (exchangeable image file) information (date, time, exposure etc.) intact.
Adjust not only the image size and colour, hue and saturation of photos, but also the brightness, black point, temperature and more.
Open and edit 64bit images for true high definition results.
Apply filters to make your pictures sepia, black and white, pixillate, mosaic, neon effect or like a poster.
Repair and restore old photos, remove unwanted people and objects from your photos with the clone and patch tools, remove red-eye, whiten teeth, remove blemishes and smooth skin, or remove the background completely.
Upload photos to FaceBook and Flickr at the touch of a button.
Photoplus is easy to use with an intuitive interface, extensive help, animated 'how tos' and great tutorials.
3) Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 (about £70 incl. VAT)
Available from Adobe directly or from resellers such as Amazon and Play.com, Adobe Photoshop Elements is a powerful and comprehensive photo editing suite at a very reasonable price. The name Photoshop is like the name Google - it is becoming a verb in its own right. Whilst we might 'google' something in order to find it, if a photo has been altered it has been 'photoshoped'.
If we assume that Photoshop can do just about any image manipulation you might think of (with some superb filters you probably didn't think of), what sets it apart from the rest of the field?
No. 1 is 'Content aware fill'. This is a fill tool which effectively removes people and objects from the background and fills the void with more background. Obviously, the more simple the background the more accurately this can be done - extracting people from complex backgrounds is less successful, but a lot easier than spending ages with the clone tool.
No. 2 is 'Panorama stitching', using 'Content aware fill' to fill in the gaps you left when you took those panoramic shots (you can never get them to overlap exactly!).
No. 3 is 'Layer Masks'. Layer masks simplify the job of making non-destructive changes to layers in order to merge photos together or manually merge photos for High Dynamic Range (HDR) compositions. HDR is a method of producing jaw-dropping images by merging two or more identical images with different exposure settings.
No. 4 is 'Out of Bounds'. One of the more fun styles that can make photographs appear to jump out of a frame, handing Photoshop users the kind of editing skills that were previously only dreamt of by magazine editors.
No. 5 is seamless integration with Facebook. Photoshop Elements can take your photos and resize them on the fly to FaceBook's maximum resolution before uploading to avoid wasting bandwidth.
All-in-all Photoshop is a professional-grade and comprehensive product with improved help for beginners, making this a great all-round choice for amateur photographers.
This article does not try to answer the question about which of the above is the best or why, because they are very different products and all are suitable in their own right.

Digital photography has exploded the possibilities available for capturing, sharing and manipulating photos. The increased attention has peaked the interest of many amateur photographers and the market is responding accordingly. There are many software products available for download as well as purchase. These products offer various ways to edit and organize your photos as well as provide instruction. I offer the following review of products that I found to be of good quality.
Kodak Gallery is a free online site for editing and storing photos. They also offer a number of services including gift ideas, personalized products and online tutorials. Shutterfly and Winkflash are very similar to Kodak Gallery offering a number of products such as greeting cards, calendars, mouse pads, etc. that can be personalized using your enhanced digital photos! These sites offer printing services and allow you to create a slideshow to be shared via email. You are able to set various controls such as whether or not the recipients can view, print and or order any photos. It is always recommended regardless of which site you use that photos be back up on a disc incase of any server problems.
Before we move on to reviews of software products that have a variety of features that cover the photo taking process from start to finish. I can not resist mentioning, Tourist Remover Software. In the same way that HDR photos can take all the best bits from multiple exposures of the same subject and combine them into a single photo, FutureLAB’s cleverly named Tourist Remover Software can remove tourists your travel photos. Simply snap a few shots of a building, statue, etc., happy tourists and all. Their software will combine all of the un-touristed sections of each picture into a single tourist-free photo.
Many software products are being offered that have camera control and recovery tools. I suggest the following software as I find it to be reasonably priced and of good quality.
Digital Camera Photography Professional Edition by Tradetouch Inc.
Features include:
Camera Control Tool which shows the user how to set capture time, control a remote camera, reduce the camera’s shudder etc.
Photo Management Tool allows you to classify your photos, record the time, and present them in an album or other format.
Advise and Teach Skills such as adjusting light, choosing shooting time, and managing instruments.
Photo Edit Tool will help you cut or add something fun to photos, change color, compile several photos into one etc.
Recover Tool allows you to recover deleted photos from your PC’s disc or camera’s RAM.
Drivers for your camera are included with this software.
No Installation or Hard Disk space used, Browser based interface is extremely fast.

Creating Fun Keepsakes using your software's wizards, you can create your own digital photo albums and put your albums on Web sites. You also can add transitions and music and turn your pics into slideshows. Or you can print your photos and design your own gifts.
Specialty software is also available! For example;

I've tried contacting the customer service via email but the only response I have received said that I did not have to pay to upload pictures. Anyone display there who can give me hints on what to do or even other websites where I can display/sell my pictures?

Please don't simply say Photoshop, haha. I'm looking for programs that will be especially helpful with portrait photography. I'm taking an independent computers course for my senior year of high school, and my teacher has requested that I research some software.
I'm just hoping to find something that has a lot of filters and effects, great in-depth adjustments, and maybe some advanced features for slightly more surreal photography. I'd also like a program that can edit AND catalog / organize images.
As I said, I'll be covering portraiture more than anything else. I've looked at Adobe Lightroom, if you have any comments on that, please share them. Otherwise, if you know any good photo-editing programs that would be especially helpful with portrait photography, please send me some links or something.
Cheers, and thanks so much in advance!
Sony Vegas and Adobe After Effects...not only does it edit photos, but it can edit videos.

I was devastated when my computer hard drive crashed last year as I had scanned all my old family photos before emigrating to Oz from the UK, but I still thought that I would be able to retrieve them off my Ipod somehow. Computer experts and Apple employees have told me there is no way to transfer pictures from my Ipod so I was begining to think that my photos would be lost. A few weeks ago some people I met told me that there were programmes that I could download so I read some forums and decided on Tansee. Thank you Tansee for the easiest download and subsequent transfer of over 2000 photos from my Ipod. There does seem to be a slight loss in resolution in some of them but to have them back is fantastic and they are after all just my point and click pics, not professional ones.
When looking around for a solution to retrieve lost photos off my iPod, Tansee seemed to be the only way. Initially, the program appeared to not load. Just sitting there on my taskbar, but not showing up. This was very frustrating.
Although, I did find the problem. My iPod was already plugged in when I loaded the program. The program immediately attempts to load the photos from the iPod into the program. As I had 4000 photos this took a couple of hours. Through this whole time the program just appears to be hung, not providing any progress, or even showing the UI at all. Once loaded it sprung into life, and my photos were recovered.
So for those experiencing this problem, be patient.
Although this is an easy to use program, the UI needs to be fixed. It needs to show some sort of progress bar. Perhaps not be auto load, so at least the program displays before the photos are loaded. Furthermore, it should not freeze up and show nothing while loading photos. Most people wouldn't have the same patience to persist.
Otherwise, this is a great product, functionality wise I can't fault it, it's very easy to use, and recovered my photos beautifully.

RansenScan is really a system which will velocity up the scanning of one's previous photo or postcard collections. Its quick and straightforward interface indicates that you choose, appropriate and preserve images in seconds, not minutes!
If the "sub images" are properly separated RansenScan will produce a checklist of sub images to the proper with the primary scanned picture, as you may see over. Then you'll be able to rotate, brighten, crop and so on each sub picture individually.
When you are happy together with your sub picture you'll be able to save it, copy it to the clipboard, or print it.
Scanning collections of old pictures can get a long long time! I realize, I've accomplished it. Very first scanners these days do not seem to possess taken into account the unusual page dimensions of outdated photograph albums, then the software program provided is not suited for quickly choosing sub images and saving the separately in the the main scanned image.

I made the decision that was was needed was some thing which assists me within this incredibly specific position, and here is a graphical concept of it (forgive the minimal top quality graphics, this is to velocity up the internet connection as you examine this).
So the thought is the fact that you put many photos within one scan and then extract them 1 by one, then save them one by 1 with their own descriptive names.
Is there an application which does this with TWAIN compliant scanners? Yes, it is called RansenScan.
Ransen Computer software may be making uncomplicated to use graphics programs given that 1995, and in 1999 Repligator won the "Best Graphics Program" award in the SIAF Industry Awards (Tampa,USA).
hi...i just got a digital audio recorder for christmas and would like to clean up some of the recordings i've made and would like to find a free download of some kind of digital recording software for editing and processing. i found some incredible evp's on some of my recordings and want to refine the audio to hear them without the background/ambient noises.
thanks for your help!
It's impossible filter out all the background and ambient noise even with the most sophisticated program. It becomes a part of the overall audio.
It is possible to reduce the affect it has but how well depends on it's frequency content.
As a free program I would suggest Audacity. It has a noise removal function but it relies on the recorded content having at least a few seconds of just the noise you want to remove. You select this, get the noise profile and then remove it. Depending on the type of noise it might, again might, be effective.
If that is not successful use of the graphic equalizer might be the only option.
If some of the noise is low frequency hum this range of frequencies can be reduced. The range of the content you want to hear can also be boosted.
One of the most difficult problems to overcome while recording is the ambient noise. Type and quality of the microphone, it's position in relation to the source and also the nature of the ambient noise have to be considered.
You've only had the recorder since christmas so you're still learning.
This is at least one area where making mistakes is the best teacher.
Keep a mental note of the recording circumstances and take that into consideration when doing your next recording.
Through experience and experimentation you'll learn how to get better recordings and reduce the effect of ambient noise.
The best recordings rely on recording technique rather than trying to fix errors later.

The market for open source and free software is surging high with its appreciation in mainstream segment also. The free software products like Linux or others are moving from the walled boundaries of servers to desktops and laptops. Recently, launched Ultra low cost laptops were supported on Linux and that came as a major breakthrough for it to garner some spotlight from tech analysts.
But still the concept of free software and open source software is not clear with many of us. We are confused at the basic level and interchanging the terms for each other. We use the terms Free Source and Open Source interchangeably and get them confused with the concept that they are available for free.
To some extent the concept gels with what we consider “available for free” but not in complete sense. The word “free” is basically the misnomer. We confuse it with “free burgers” but it should be considered for “free speech”. No doubt that some softwares from both the communities are available for free of cost and are offered as free downloads but not all utilities.
The two communities working with the aim of offering freedom to developers are working in the same direction but are literally and fundamentally different in their approaches. Till 1998, they were more or less same but after that the two movements separated with a different prospective, a different philosophy, and different motives.
The commonality in both the approaches is the open availability of source code to developers but the aim backing this approach is different with both the communities.
Where Free Software Community lays stress on providing source code to developers with the aim that user is free to do what he wish with the software’s source code. It is more philosophical in nature.
However, Open Source believes in offering source code to users with the aim that collaborative efforts can bring more subtle results. It has motivation that users can freely provide their suggestions for the source code and can append it to the existing one if results provided are efficient enough.
Both the communities lay stress on redistribution of code with no restrictions but the principles and motivations are different.
Where one seeks the liberty provided to users; the other targets the development of more efficient software programs with collaborative approach. Against the philosophical methodology of Free Software Community, the Open Source Community is driven by more practical reasons.
To some years the movements were working as a common alliance and Open Source was used as a marketing term for free software to reduce the ambiguity; but to worst it added more problems. So finally the two movements parted and started their own way.
Where the software developed by open source are more or less fits to zero-cost category, nothing like that can be defined for free software. To define it better, nothing which is free of cost can be a tailored fit for both the communities but cannot be turned off even.
Open Source is opposite to original context of Free Software. Free Software aims the freedom of users but Open Source aims the collaborative approach. The former stresses that users can freely see, modify and redistribute the code but latter has the approach that users can see the code but cannot modify it to suit its needs. In OSS, the liberty availed is in accordance of specific licensing agreements allowing one to fiddle with the code.
Free Software values freedom offered to users but Open Source believes in team development of software. Where one can be attached to social movement, the other is a development methodology. Both are against the patents and proprietary software, but cannot go hand in hand due to disagreement on certain principles.
To ask you, is GNU/ Linux is a free software or open source software? Cannot answer surely; Linux is not an open source software but a product of free software community (as you are free to make modifications).
At crux, it can be said that both are different movements with differing principles but are fighting against the common objective “Proprietary Software”.

Ok so i need to know what is the best free movie editing software out there. I need one that is fairly easy to do. And one where i can add visual effects. Add sound and music in certain spots. Add credits and other good things like that. What is the best free software.
If you have a Mac then just use iMovie. It comes free on the comp, you can also download final cut pro for free using torrent.
I would really love to start making good videos.
I already do, But the only editing software I use is "Windows Movie Maker"
And it's really not good.
Is there anything I can download for free?
I was thinking about buying Sony Vegas Pro 9 editing software, Should I?
Most freeware video editors aren't going to get you much past Movie Maker. The answer depends on the money you're willing to spend.
Sony Vegas is a good choice for a budget, but if you're looking for something that can do what you want now and in the future (especially if you're looking at doing editing for hire) you're going to want at least Adobe Premiere Pro, (currently CS4). It's expensive, but between that and Adobe After Effects, if you invest the time you can take anything you film and turn it into a broadcast quality production. This is especially important if you're going to do HD videos.
That said if you're just looking at editing as a hobby, I wouldn't even go that high. Sony Vegas would be the upper limit, splurge on it, or get something more basic like from Ulead or Pinnacle.
