Photo Effects

When talking about photo editing, there is a plethora of applications available for you to use. From complex tools down to the simplest software utility that can change a photo’s parameters, the choice is yours. However, making fine adjustments to a photo to make it look good is a fast operation that should not be carried out with a lot of hassle. In other words, a simple photo enhancer is enough to help you out and one good option is Vertexshare’s Photo Effects.

This particular application comes with a straightforward interface that enables you to apply effects to a photo in an instant. It aims for simplicity and, therefore, the GUI is user-friendly and easy to get around.

Most of the interface is taken up by the preview area, where you can see the result of applying any change. You can easily compare the original to the changed image if you want to see the differences. There are also options for zooming in and out and discarding all the changes with the click of a button.

But what kind of adjustments and changes can you make with the Photo Effects application? Well, the application is quite generous in this area. First, it comes with a rich collection of predefined effects that you can apply with ease. They are all located on the left side panel, each with its own small preview thumbnail.

On the other hand, the right-side panel includes adjustment bars for various parameters. You can easily change the photo exposure level (compensation, compression, lightness, saturation and contrast), modify the shadows and the highlights, adjust the tone mapping and the dynamic range compression. Image sharpening can also be altered.

The local contrast, the white balance and the vibrance are other adjustable parameters. Photo Effects can be used to reduce the noise level in your photos.

Photo Effects does not offer the capabilities of a comprehensive photo editing suite, but it allows you to apply basic adjustments to make your photos look great in an instant. It comes with preset effects that you can use and allows quick photo processing thanks to the built-in fine tuners. It is a great app to have around if you need to improve the quality of your photos.
