Jixi Pack

The Jixi Pack gathers all the JixiPix-signed photo editors under the same roof, deploying a plethora of filters and effects you can choose from to give an artistic look to your photos. The package includes plugins for Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Elements, and PaintShop Pro.

All the applications included in the Jixi Pack are also available as standalone products, each with an interface that is pretty much identical to that of the bundle program.

Each of these applications is one-click away in Jixi Pack, without you having to set up multiple products to decide which one you like. In other words, you can deploy the Jixi Pack to test multiple filters and see how your photo would look like, then decide upon purchasing the pack or just the module you need.

Aquarella enables you to transform your photo into a watercolor painting, while Artista Haiku takes it even further and generates artistic photography with a touch of vintage. An oil painting aspect can be obtained using Artista Oil, Artista Sketch can generate fine-tuned drawings, while Chalkspiration renders chalky outlines. An interesting cartoonish effect is created by the Artoon filters, while Grungetastic puts an accent on texture to make your photo stand out.

Infrared-like images and comic-book illustrations can also be obtained, while the Portrait Painter has a clear mission: to bring the color and facial expressions in your portraits to life. Another application, called Simply HDR, can transform a rather plain image into a stunning scenery. Snow or rain effects can be added to any of your photos with a few clicks, and the Vintage Scene can age any photo by making the paper appear old and distressed.

The purpose of a premium pack is to save you the effort of having to download and install multiple applications to obtain the filter you need for your photo collection.

While the assortment of filters is definitely a major plus, Jixi Pack renders the result after any modification in the settings, which can be a bit annoying. Just like all the separate products, it does not support batch processing, which would add to its value. Despite these drawbacks, there is no doubt it is a better alternative to downloading and installing all those applications one by one to find the one you need.
