Evaluating PhotoScape X

4.0 last year

Comments: Overall, my experience has been very satisfactory and, let's say, quite good. I have been using it as an additional tool for not very technical image editing. It also helps me to take good screenshots, make collages and nice image compositions. I have been using this software since its inception (when X didn't exist yet). So for me, this software is always an "ace up my sleeve".

Pros:

Undoubtedly, what I like most about this program is the great level of editing it allows us to achieve. In it we can obtain very detailed results based on our design ideas and the objectives we seek to achieve. In addition, it is an intuitive software with a considerably good weight and can be used in different operating systems without any problem.

Cons:

As I mentioned before, the templates are too traditional for my taste. They should offer a more updated library of images and templates. After all, we design to show other people what we think. That's why we need to engage our audience, not bore them with outdated and monotonous content.

Pro results for non professionals

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: My advertising media has improved hugely since using Photoscape X: in fact, my pics are being used on the website of my professional body as a result, which is a huge honour and bonus!

Pros:

I'm no pro, but I can quickly produce top-quality images and ads for my business. A vast range of features, effects and tweaks allow me to refine my pics, plus tutorials and tips to get the most out of the software. I've improved my creativity massively since I started using Photoscape X.

Cons:

Sometimes I feel that I need more refinement with a few of the tools, although that could be my lack of knowledge and experience. Finding time to properly sit down with the tutorials would probably rectify my issues.

The view towards Photoscape.

3.0 3 years ago

Comments: I have always liked it, it was part of my youth and now I use it in my work. The functions have changed little so do a good job using it. It is nostalgic software.
From the access to the functionality of the photos, it is very good at showing all the photos in the folders present on the computer at the same time.

Pros:

The program is part of the software used since the beginning of the internet. At the time, one of the best possible tools to edit your photos. Its very ease of use is what continues to attract attention. The handling of the edition follows is fast and very understandable for all ages (something necessary in a world where not everyone has a computer knowledge). Each function is specially marked to stand out, so it is possible to use Photoscape without having knowledge of photo editing at high level.

Cons:

What I like the least is the functionality of the stickers, the letters or the lines that can be edited for the photographs. It is essential that a competitive product is present in the minds of the youngest, so that it is eye-catching.

It's a great tool if you want to use it for creating social media posts for your brand or yourself since it's easy to use UI helps anyone to create a stunning photo in seconds.

Pros:

Gone are the days when it was important to watch long videos in order to learn photo editing. With Photoscape X anyone can get a professionally edited image in minutes. It comes with unique features such as free from crop, color filters, combine mode for creating colleages and much more. This is one of the most beginner friendly software I've seen on the market because it makes photo editing very easy. Totally recommeneded for everyday edits.

Cons:

If they could intregrate AI based features since it's the new trend the software will go on a whole new level. However it offers an outstanding experience and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to get stated with Photo Editing.

Lightest Image Processor With Heavy Functions

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I was skeptical when this software offered to my desk for daily use until I try it myself, mostly for change dimension and size of many pictures, and batch processing to convert to other file formats. Some other software have similar function, but this one have the best speed.

Pros:

This software is lightweight and fast. I tried many others before, and now using Photoscape as one of my daily software.

Cons:

Simple image editing tools that come as a bundle of many functions. Some newbie in image editing might love it, but designers and photographers like me and many in my teams never use it.

Photoscape- Excellent for Beginners!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Overall, Photoscape is easy to use and doesn't require studying hours to figure out. The options for editing are more limited than Photoshop, for example, but it gets the job done.

Pros:

Photoscape is user friendly and is easy for a beginner to learn. It's useful for editing photos and has some fun light filters and overlays that make editing faster and easier. Printing edited photos also turns out excellent.

Cons:

The free version doesn't have as many capabilities and options, obviously. For example, it's difficult to figure out how to edit multiple photos in Photoscape. I usually just edit them one at a time in the program. You can copy and paste previous settings, which is a plus, but it still seems to take longer in my opinion.

The software still needs some tools to be more complete.

Fun image editing

Pros:

It is a user friendly and easy to use software which has given many fun features and functionalities to edit my pictures and make collages from it. It also allows you to make posters and banners.

Cons:

You can not save your work in between if your software crashes all of your editing will be gone and you have to start fresh, which is quite annoying.

Free photo editing: PhotoScape X

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: PhotoScape X is definitely an outstanding choice for a beginner editor with a low budget. Just be sure to know what tools you have at your disposal.

Pros:

There are a huge amount of unique and professional features that can be used in PhotoScape X. As long as you can see what you want to transform a picture into: with PhotoScape X, you can make it real. There is quite a large community of people to help with using the app if you do not understand something or if you want to find a specific feature. There are not many apps as professional as PhotoScape X which is free, but this one is.

Cons:

For a beginner in PhotoScape X, the interface and large amount of functionality may be daunting, and the chances of not being able to use the app to its full potential from the get-go are almost certain. Some of the features and editing categories can use some improvement, but for a free app, it is still above average.
