image editor with layer support Photobie is an image editor that offers all the standard editing and paint tools, as well as image layers and support for Photoshop (.8bf) plug-ins and several other features that are usually not found in free image editors. The program also includes screen capture tools, an image browser, a GIF animation tool and a Flash player, as well as photo frames, channel adjustments and more. The documentation is somewhat lacking but an active support forum can help you along if you run into problems.

FYI: During our review, we found that this program offers to install promotional, third party components. Installation of these components is completely optional Read our policy.

It's alright but not special 3 stars by gimpguy (Read all my 655 reviews)
There are some perks to this but I find they are outweighed by the downfalls. The interface truly needs work and feels all but expired. The program itself is obviously in need of a major overhaul, it doesn't perform very well. No reason something this small should run so slow on my PC, yet even a simple smudge makes it lag. Another annoyance (albeit I don't know if it can be changed)it creates a layer for every little thing you do. I tried to lock it, nothing worked. When you try to undo, it claims nothing was yet done to the layer, which is true, however, instead of being able to undo anything, you have to keep deleting the layers, very tedious. All in all, it's free and better than a lot of freebies but unless this gets some major work done, I can only assume this will be one for the archives and nothing more. showShow review details
Not even close 2 stars by ErikDirkx (Read all my 5 reviews)
It really has a horrible interface with a lot of bugs. Also, it may have a lot of uncommon features, but is missing a lot of common ones. showShow review details
Very promising graphics editor 4 stars by freewhere (Read all my 3 reviews)
Phot0bie really is a great freeware graphics editor. It may not be eye candy in it's ui, but it is a great alternative to PSP and similar $hareware editors. Well done Mr. Chen (the developer)!! Those of us who appreciate truly FREE freeware are grateful for you kind works! showShow review details
