4.5/5

Photivo is a feature-rich editor with a plethora of options and filters ready to help you get the most out of your photos. Released under an open-source license, it delivers powerful processing algorithms and support for batch operations.

It is worth noting that Photivo comes with support for regular bitmap files (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, and more) and also RAW files.

While the interface and all its options are organized in different categories and are easily accessible on the left side panel, the ton of advanced settings and adjustments might seem overwhelming to regular users.

In other words, unless you are familiar and have prior experience with the parameters in a professional –grade photo editor, then there are high chances that you might have a hard time getting through what seems to be a rather steep learning curve.

There are various adjustments that you can experiment with in Photivo, ready to address photo defects down to the tiniest detail. While it is impossible to talk about them all, we will review some of the most important ones.

With Photivo, you can perform generic correction and address defects generated by the camera. There are options that concern spot tuning, lens parameters and distortion, chromatic aberration, vignetting or geometry conversion. As expected, you also get the regular options related to rotation, perspective, cropping and resizing, flipping and blocking.

Photivo also sports a channel mixer you can tweak, along with adjustments for highlights, color intensity, exposure, gamma level, texture contrast, normalization, color enhancements, and more.

The list of customizable parameters is far from being over. There are also options related to the lab color and contrast, sharpening and denoising, saturation and tone adjusting, adjustable toning curves, and more.

Considering the large number of options available in Photivo, it’s only normal to experiment with settings and see what each does. The good thing is that you can undo all the changes with the click of a button.

Designed mainly for advanced users, Photivo delivers a powerful editor that can help you enhance the quality of your photos. With an integrated file editor and support for batch operations, It provides an alternative to more complex, popular suites.
