Softpedia Editor's Review for Saint Paint Studio
|
A paint package for editing photos
Written by Elena Opris on February 7th, 2012
Saint Paint Studio is a software that comes bundled with tools required for editing image files.
The user interface of the program is plain and simple. You can import one or more pictures by using the file browser (the "drag and drop" method is not supported).
So, you can use basic image editing tools, such as paint, color picker, line, curve, filled or unfilled square or circle, square or shaped brush, fill, spray and magnify.
But you can also add text, apply a red eye filter, crop the image, edit the palette of colors, use a color stencil and symmetry pattern, add brush special effects (e.g. smooth, blue, transparency, tint), and more.
In addition, you can batch convert files, use the "Undo" and "Redo" buttons, copy the entire image into the brush, automatically correct brightness, correct gamma, adjust the contrast, swap color channels and apply various filters (e.g. grayscale, black and white, negative, sharpen, de-speckle, oil painting, blur, add noise).
Furthermore, you can compose an animation sequence, use an animation editor and add frames, save and load the color palette, duplicate the image, merge layers, use animated brushes and a single pixel brush, and more.
The program uses a low-to-moderate amount of system resources, includes a comprehensive help file with tutorials and snapshots, supports several languages and didn't freeze, crash or pop up any errors during our tests.
Saint Paint Studio may not be as high-level as more popular similar tools and its interface may need some work, but it is simple to use. We definitely recommend it.
