It never ceases to amaze me how some people can complain at all about something they get for nothing. This is an awesome program, I've used it for quite some time, way back on Win98, WinXP, and now using it on Vista. It's my favourite photo editor and it's easy to use. AND IT'S FREE.

Well, comparing to Photoshop the main thing i miss are layers... But i use this as a fast and FREE alternative to paint, so it does the job very well. Doesn't use more then 5 MB of ram here.

Photofiltre and Photoscape are in a virtual tie for best free photo editors; however, each program does offer slightly different options in the area of "effects", so I have installed both and "use one or the other" as needed. You really can't beat this combination so get both!

You must compare this prog to the big boy progs you normally use, but good little alternative for most simple run of the mill jobs. 2 complaints, mouse wheel for magnification of image backwards to most other progs. Clone tool is combination of mouse and keyboard. R and L mouse click would be good. Give it a try, worth the effort.

My digital cameras have their own software, so i don't see this program as lacking just because it doesn't interface with my cameras. I have Photoshop and rarely use it because of it's antiquated backward design, so i use Photodeluxe to perform my edits quickly with no learning curve when Irfanview won't do (which is rare since it supports Photoshop plugs). For some reason or the other though, both versions i have of Photodeluxe do not work anymore. Photofiltre to the rescue! it would be a total 5 star program if it supported layers, but since it doesn't, i have to give it a 4. still, it is a top-notch program that does what it says it does.

About all that is missing from this software is the ability to download pics from your digital camera. (Maybe I am missing something here, but I don't think so.) If this software could download your pics from the major camera manufacturers available today (Kodak, Canon, etc.) this FREE software would be nearly PERFECT! I haven't found anything, as an amateur digital photographer, that this software WON'T do. In time (ha-ha), maybe I will become more sophisticated than PhotoFiltre but I doubt it. Until PhotoFiltre becomes dumber than I am - I recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants to "play" with, improve or change their digital photos. For the price - I don't believe you can go wrong, my fellow picture-snappers! Get it - use it - enjoy it and share the results!!

This has already made my life so much easier. I create graphics for my web site. I use to have to jump between several programs to accomplish what I can on this one program. I must say however that the quality is perhaps not quite the quality of some others. This is luckily an almost unnoticeable difference. The pure convenience of this program makes up for this. I find myself using this little piece of art maybe 80% of the time. Get it. You'll love it. You'll thank the authors and Snapfiles for it!

Remember people filter, don't expect it to have the kind of options you see on a a converter or editor. Think of it as a mega 101types filter program. It also will reduce the colors (size) of your picture when your finish saving it. Nice little bonus! no more messing around in crappy gifworks for me. This is a fun, slim, easy to use multi featured program. It's not often I love a program this much! Give it a try.

With the help of this very professional application I do not need Adobe Photoshop to retouch my photos. Extremely efficient, compact, and sufficient for even very sophisticated amateur retouches. And by amateur I mean those whose photos are worth being called Art (for your information, the best photographers in the world are not professional photographers, but amateurs). It starts very quickly since it is very light weight, and it handle the work smoothly. I love this application.

For an interface hag like me, I found this one extremely clean and elegant. The tools are simple and basic, but perfectly fulfilling for digital photographers. I say download this small, fast-loading, fast-running program if you're looking for effects and basic photo editing. It's so clean and easy to learn, no matter how computer-illiterate you think you are! But if you're a digital artist/painter and graphics designer like me, look elsewhere for layers and other advanced tools.

My name is max and i have just left school. I want to be a photographer but i know how much this costs. It would be a bout 600 for the camera and about 200 for a program like this. I have a normal digital camera what cost 100 and i thought i really want a program so i downloaded this one but i thought it was going to be rubbish because it was free. I tried it out and i will say i will never have to buy a expensive camera or program because this one gives off the quality and effects that i have always wanted. Now when i take pics of my band members on my camera and add effects using this program people think that i hired out a photographer to do them for me. I would recommend this to anyone and i will. Please people save 100s of pounds and download this product for free.

Download it now and enjoy the experience of using your imagination in this great program.

If Photo Filtre were commercial software it would be a very good product and way ahead of many of its rivals. However as its freeware I'd say that makes it an excellent product. The Photo Filtre Interface, Features and Ease of Use are all excellent. In fact I found that getting the hang of using it far easier than any of its rivals that I've tried.

Good after learning the get-arounds.
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Very good for repainting flight simming textures, but the DX1/DX3 conversion has it offsetting the texture if one wants to redo an edit. After re-converting back to a 24 bit BMP, one needs to load the bmp into paint and resave for it to accept the re-converted bmp. One thing for sure though, once you learn it's odd little get-arounds, it's surprising what you can do with it. It shines the best as a resizer and gif converter with transparencies for web page use. It doesn't save a common jpg as small as paint does, resaving the "its" results from paint reduces pic size for webpages to the better. Thanks to the author for a functional picture editor that can be used for a little more than it was meant to do.
