Image editing is becoming more and more popular. Maybe it's because a photo that was taken with a low performance digital camera isn't good enough or just because one wishes to add a personal touch to a photograph, making it stand up above the crowd. Either way, you need an image editing software. You could use Paint, the software included in Windows but you will soon realize that it lacks a lot of options at that it has very limited image possibilities. Alternatively, you could use Adobe Photoshop, the well known advanced photo editor but this is not for beginners due to the complexity of its functions. It also costs a lot of money and it requires powerful computers. A better solution is Photobie. It's a photo editing program that features most of the Photoshop functions, but comes in a lighter package.

Installing this piece of software shouldn't be a problem for most users, because the entire process is straightforward and only requires a few clicks to complete. Besides that, it supports almost any version of the Windows operating system. It takes up less hard disk space and less system resources than other similar programs.

The program's interface seems a bit overloaded at first, but the user will soon realize that all the functions and features are optimally placed. Photobie can use Photoshop plugin for applying them to the images. Speaking about images, they can be easily imported into the program one by one or more at once. The number of image formats supported is high and covers all the well-known formats.

Besides featuring various plugins and filters, Photobie also includes a screen capture tool, that can take shots of the desktop using configurable hot keys. A GIF animator is also present in the program's features, allowing the user to create astonishing GIF animations using layers.

Photobie includes various photo templates, that can be used for certain occasions like birthdays or holidays. The user's work can be saved in a wide range of graphical formats.

Pros

It supports a wide range of image formats. Besides that, it can use Photoshop plugins and filters. Furthermore, it features a screen capture tool that can take shots of the desktop using hot keys and a GIF animator.

Cons

The menu seems a bit complicated at first, due to the large number of features. Photobie is a great alternative to any photo editing software, featuring a lot of plugins and templates.
