With this, graphic art professionals and web developers can now experiment more in color combinations in their projects thus, making them more creative and innovative in their line of work. I would like to commend programmers of this simple yet so important program. More power!

While PhotoImpact doesn’t support PDF files, it does allow you to grab images off internet. Type in URL of a webpage, click on image you want to get, then edit away.

It’s a little tricky to use at first, but once you get a hold on PhotoImpact’s tools, you’ll be thankful you took time to learn.

Digital Image Suite 9

Microsoft’s own photo editing software is like digital spoon feeding.

Image Suite 9 is a very basic image editing software that hardly requires a tutorial. While it does work wonders for those who only want to share pictures online, it could be quite frustrating for those who want to flex their creativity muscles a little bit more.

Image Suite 9 lacks some features that you might want to use later on. That said, there still are a bunch to keep you happy. While there’s no auto color fix option (quite essential to fix crappy lighting most digital cameras capture), there are still basic features of cropping, adjusting brightness and contrast, and removing red-eye. The most advanced this software can get would be removing blemishes, whiten teeth, and eliminating wrinkles. The layering option is hardly even handy—you can layer on photos, but it’s virtually impossible to unlayer them.

This program will work perfectly if you want hassle-free, basic photo editing.
