Free photo editing software – Photoscape

Posted: 01 Oct 2009 03:44 AM PDT

We have shown you a couple of cool free photo editing tools like Irfanview and Google Picasa. Let me show you another freeware that could become part of your essential photo editing toolbox. The freeware is called PhotoScape from www.photoscape.org.

Like Irfanview and Picasa, this software packs a lot of functionality: picture viewer, editor, animated gif creator, color picker, raw format converter, picture frame maker and others. The first thing a user will see on the GUI is an arranged shortcut to these functions.

The tool covers the basics of a photo editing app like the capability to zoom in/out, rotate, crop, level, contrast, midtone adjustments and others. It has auto level and auto contrast capabilities – something similar to Microsoft Office's auto-enhance image feature.

You can also add decorative frames built-in from the tool:

The tool also makes collage frames easy to create. You can choose from a lot of frame designs and then just drag and drop pictures to each section of the frame.
