Graphic Workshop Professional

Graphic Workshop Professional is an application that allows you to edit your image files in a user-friendly environment.

The interface of the program is easy to navigate through, especially as it comes with an Explorer-based layout to locate and open pictures.In the view window, you can go to the next or previous image in the sequence, get information (e.g. dimensions, compression), open the filters window, change orientation and zoom.

While overall accessible, the interface of the software is not impressive in any way and the features could have been better organized to truly look professional, as the title suggests. While most of the functions are available via the menus, the app also includes quick access buttons.

Among the functions you can perform via this program, you can count crop, apply effects (e.g. color dither, reverse, grayscale), matt and frame, transform images (e.g. resize, flip, rotate).

At the same time, you can add a watermark, change the viewing mode (e.g. text, details) and sorting mode, place a folder override, apply textures and fractals, input keywords and comments, and more.

You can add an image as a thumbnail, insert a caption, convert pictures, copy to clipboard and delete the image files. You can browse and explore all images you have stored on your hard drive.

The program takes up a very low amount of system resources and includes a help file with tutorials and snapshots. No errors have popped up during our tests and Graphic Workshop Professional didn't freeze or crash.

In spite of the fact that it does not sport a very appealing or professional interface, Graphic Workshop Professional is a handy tool that can prove useful for anyone who wants to enhance their photo albums, but lack advanced computer skills.
