Photo editor
The question of photo editors comes up often. I don't
remember whether this one ever got mentioned. I came across the code awhile back. It's written in VB6. The code is freely available. The program seems to work nicely and does much of what a full editor can do, including "effects" plugins. Yet it's only 52 MB installed. Disadvantages: * No help file. * A curious oversight in terms of functionality. There's no line or shape tool! (At least I can't find them.) * A kiddie-style, Metro-esque UI that takes up too much space. But it has a full stock of filters, color adjustment, layer functionality, etc. There's not much missing that you'd get in Photoshop for a very steep price, in a spyware package, with a rental model, and a wildly bloated installation. The lack of line and shape tools is odd. I use those regularly and in terms of code they're much easier than creating effects like "oil painting" or "windblown". But for someone who only wants to work on photos without doing graphics, Photo Demon looks like a very good choice. https://photodemon.org/ |
