FantaPhoto

FantaPhoto is a graphic editor whose purpose is to help you edit images using a set of special effects, borders, and watermarks.

The GUI looks clean and well organized. A zooming function allows you to explore the pictures in detail. You can access a help manual in case you have any further questions about the program’s capabilities.

The only inconvenience is that when you run the utility, it shows a welcome panel which presents other software products. However, this window can be closed and you can focus solely on the editing process.

The tool lets you import images with formats like JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, PSD, TGA, SGI, DIB, EMF, and others. You can export the edited photos to PNG, BMP, TIF, JPG, WMF, TGA, or GIF.

FantaPhoto offers you the freedom to flip or rotate the photo to different angles, crop it, undo or redo your actions, as well as apply a set of automatic actions designed to enhance the quality of your pictures, like add light to dark fields and reduce light.

You can personalize images by adding different types of frames. Each frame can be customized in terms of size, opacity and color. Other editing features worth being mentioned enable you to remove red eyes and apply several filters to a selected area from the photo, like Blur, Mosaic, Illusion, and Random Ripple.

The program lets you measure distances between two points on the photo, apply Blur, Sharpen, Sepia and Mosaic effects to the entire picture, invert colors, tweak the hue, saturation, color balance, brightness, contrast, and gamma, and automatically remove red eyes.

FantaPhoto allows you to add text and image watermarks to multiple items at the same time. When it comes to adding a custom text, there are a lot of tweaks that you can opt for, such as modify the font, size and color of the text, change the text opacity, and apply shadow.

Image watermarks can be dragged and dropped to the desired position on the original photo. Plus, you can rotate the watermark to different angles, change its size, and adjust the opacity.

The final verdict is that FantaPhoto packs enough editing features to fulfill the needs of less experienced users. It can be used for basic picture enhancements when you need to make some quick changes without having to go through lengthy and difficult-to-learn editing processes.
