And for an additional fee you can purchase many additional goodies.

A very simple and interesting photo editor, loved and familiar to many. Well designed and high quality made. The main thing that it can please you with is more than 30 filters, over two dozen textures and about the same number of frames.
PicsArt Photo Studio
The program allows you to create collages, change filters, control the tone and color of photos, add text effects, remove red-eye and much more. In addition, you can create hand-drawn images. In general, there are really a lot of functions.
Pixlromatic
What’s especially pleasing about this application is the nice interface and speed of operation. In addition, it boasts many effects, frames and custom filters. By the way, the full version, which gives access to more than 100 effects, 100 frames and 200 textures, will also cost you inexpensively - only one dollar.
Muzy is very simple and functional application: you can make collages from pictures, play with a bunch of frames, use the built-in editor for images, and you can even add text. Quite a convenient and funny thing.
Camera360 Ultimate
An excellent camera, many effects, a smooth and beautiful interface allow this program to stand out from the large number of photo editors. Appearing three years ago, it was constantly improved and supplemented by developers, and the result was a well-designed and high-quality application.
When it comes to choosing your first post-processing program, you may feel like you're going in circles. There is so much choice, and the idea of learning something completely new can be daunting. This article will cover some of the best known programs available and will hopefully help you make the right choice.
Adobe Photoshop CC
Over the years, no one has really been able to dislodge Adobe's dominance of the market. software for photography. Both Lightroom and Photoshop are very popular editors and are classified as platforms for professionals. Let's look at Lightroom and Photoshop separately and see what makes them so popular.
Adobe Lightroom
Lightroom is the most popular image post-processing tool. It can be used as an all-in-one solution for editing, storing and printing. Its feature-rich nature makes Lightroom a convenient and powerful option for beginners and professionals alike.
One of the biggest differentiating factors between Lightroom and other post-processing tools is that it is widely supported by other developers. This means that you can find a number of other plugins for Lightroom, allowing you to expand your workflow beyond the main program. You can also find a variety of Lightroom presets that can help speed up your editing process, saving you time on tedious edits. Sites like Smugmug and Zenfolio allow you to work directly with Lightroom, allowing you to share photos on your site directly from the Lightroom catalog.
Finally, due to the popularity of Lightroom, there is no shortage of online support available for you. If you have a question about image processing in Lightroom, then quite a lot of books have been published on photo processing in this wonderful editor. There are also many video courses on Lightroom, here is one of the best. Lightroom is an indispensable tool for the modern photographer.
This entire package of features, prevalence, and resources are the reasons why I suggest Lightroom as the first program for a new photographer looking to get into post-processing. Not only do you get a high-quality program for editing and storing images, but you have the opportunity to expand your skills. You also have endless support through many tutorials written over the years.
Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom may be the best place to start for a beginner, with Photoshop coming right behind it. The only reason I placed it second on this list is because of its difficulty. You still have a large community of professional photographers who can teach you faster, and you'll find plenty of Operations to speed up your workflow, but learning curves in Photoshop is much more difficult than in Lightroom, making it a harder program to recommend to a beginner.
Adobe's Creative Cloud platform is a subscription-based model that gives you access to both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10/month. The reason to pay extra for Adobe products beyond those listed above is not because you'll get better editing capabilities, but because they integrate with other parts of the program and access to training material.
DXO OPTICS PRO
This is a fairly powerful editor, the principle of operation is somewhat reminiscent of LIghtroom, it copes excellently with “developing” processing RAW files. But what he does best is fix geometric distortions, in this area no editor has yet been able to catch up with DXO Optics Pro. This unique video course will help you quickly learn how to work with this excellent editor. >> Processing wizard in DXO Optics Pro
Free (open) resources
If you're not ready to invest in your post-production process just yet, I'd direct your attention to these open resources.
GIMP
GIMP is one of the most famous alternatives Photoshop program. It's been around for years, works on both PC and Mac, and gives you many of the same tools as Photoshop. Being an open resource, it doesn't have the same polish as Photoshop and doesn't offer the same number of third-party options and tutorials. However, this is definitely the best option for a low-cost method of image processing.
Darktable
Darktable is what I would recommend to anyone looking for a Lightroom replacement. Like GIMP, it's an open resource that offers a number of features that give you complete control over your images, and can actually compete with Lightroom in this area. Again, it weak side the fact is that it is not that widespread and there are not many sources to help you learn. Note: DarktableNot works onWindows.
Other tools
When it comes to post-processing, it should be said that there are a number of so-called auxiliary tools. They are designed to work in conjunction with Photoshop and/or Lightroom to help enhance your style as a photographer.
TopazLabs
TopazLabs is a product line that includes 17 different pieces of software, each designed for specific purposes. These tools are designed to help you improve and speed up your post-production workflow, but not necessarily to replace Photoshop or Lightroom, although some Topaz programs, like Impression and Texture Effects, do offer stand-alone functionality that allows you to create very different kinds of images.
Nik Software
Similar to TopazLabs, Google Nik Collection is a collection of tools designed to improve and speed up your workflow. It doesn't contain many tools, and Google keeps a list of those that don't work for removal. But the Nik collection is quite powerful and will give you big functionality beyond the standard Lightroom tools.
Photomatix
Photomatix has been the leader in HDR post-processing for some time. This product continues to produce the most controlled tone mapping images and will be a great addition to your toolbox if you want to delve deeper into HDR photography.
Aurora HDR
As an alternative to Photomatix, Aurora HDR is a recently released product from Macphun in collaboration with Trey Ratcliffe. On this moment Aurora HDR only works on Mac and is an early stage product, so there will definitely be some development. However, with the support of Trey Ratcliffe, who has made a name for himself in HDR photography, this product could be what it wants to be - a multi-functional HDR tool that doesn't require Lightroom or Photoshop to create your images.
I present to your attention a selection from best programs and online services for photo processing and video creation that will help you turn ordinary photos into truly beautiful frames, create slide shows, apply various effects to photos and much more.

Viewing and processing photos is one of the most popular tasks when working on computers. To accomplish this, a great variety of useful tools have been created. The most popular solutions are familiar to everyone: Photoshop, ACDSee, IrfanView, etc. We'll talk about XnView.
If you haven't heard of XnView program, then I’ll get to the heart of the matter. It's small, but very powerful utility for viewing and processing photographs, which allows you to work with photos at a sufficiently high level. This is not the Photoshop familiar to many, it is something else. Probably, to a greater extent, it is still a photo viewer with a processing function. Using XnView, you can resize photos, change image format, crop frames (crop) and perform a number of other actions. What I love about XnView is its speed - it launches instantly. At the same time, I constantly use the cropping, resizing and format functions. Perhaps for me these are the most important functions in this program.

I often encountered the problem of converting videos from one format to another. At one time I often recorded very short videos (up to 1 minute) and converted them into trial version one of the programs that had the only limitation - it converted videos up to 5 minutes long. In fact, this was what saved me. But I was frankly annoyed by the constantly appearing window that asked me to register the program. Now I found a program that helps convert videos without annoying windows, and I didn't pay a cent for it. This is absolutely free converter video.

The variety of photo editors for PC can baffle anyone. To help you find the right one, we offer short review 5 high-quality photo editors that meet a wide variety of user needs.
A selection of photo processing programs
- "PhotoMASTER"- a modern program for fast photo processing. With its help, you can crop a photo, adjust its exposure and color, blur the background, sharpen the photo and much more. Main advantages of the editor:
- simple Russian-language interface;
- support for all popular formats (JPEG, RAW, PNG, TIFF, BMP);

- Photo editor Movavi– an easy-to-use program with extensive tools that is perfect for photo processing enthusiasts. Thanks to the interface completely in Russian and accessible tips, you will master the program without difficulty.
Program interface in Russian
Program features:
- Photoscape– a program that combines a convenient photo editor, a program for batch processing images, as well as many other modules.
Main features of the program:- viewing photos in a folder;
- editing using various color correction tools, filters, retouching and others;
- batch image processing;
- creating collages and GIFs.
It's worth noting that the color filter settings are not as flexible, and some tools will take some time to get to grips with. However, Photoscape is a good option for beginners because it is free.
- Pixlr – paid application, which requires a subscription to use. Functionality available in paid version quite extensive. In addition to standard filters and auto-correction, it also has the following interesting tools:
- merging two images into one;
- combining b/w mode and color brush;
- realistic stickers;
- focal blur.
Thus, the functionality of this editor is a little more complicated than the previous ones. Moreover, it is only available on English language, so we recommend using it when you have already gained experience in other, simpler programs.
- Polarr– shareware program. This means that the trial version has limited features and full version need to pay.
Peculiarities:- a large number of filters, including black and white;
- color correction;
- skin retouching and noise reduction tools;
- setting up vignettes.
The editor also has standard tools, such as cropping and rotating images. Working with color, tone and light is a rather complex combination of settings, so this editor can also be classified as an application for professional processing images.
- Home Photo Studio– good software, domestically produced, similar in tools to Adobe Photoshop, but much simpler.
So, in this editor you can:- create collages, postcards and calendars;
- apply decorative masks and frames;
- draw over objects;
- fulfill standard editing images.
The editor is simple enough for a beginner to understand, but a more experienced user should choose something more complex and powerful.
All of the editors described provide basic tools such as cropping, rotating, and adding effects, but each of them has one or another tool that makes them stand out from the others. In order to choose the one that is right for you, it is worth considering your level of proficiency in such programs, as well as the result that you want to get.
