PhotoStudio Reviewer's Comments

PhotoStudio by ArcSoft is a simple photo editor with dated effects. Navigation is simple and big icons point the way to all of the functions. If you’ve used Paint on your PC, you’ll recognize this tool palette with a few additions. Organizing is limited to the files you set up on your computer. Sharing is limited to PDAs and email.

Editing:  

Work with layers, add animated text and stamps, and apply the standard menu of photo edits. Click the magic wand at the top of the screen and Auto Enhance mode shows you nine previews to select from. Full edit mode will allow you to fine tune your edits.

Note: The scratch removal tool blurs the area so you can't see the scratch anymore. Other programs use an automatic cloning tool to match the surrounding area which is less noticeable.

Help/Support:  

PhotoStudio built-in help is more of a glossary than a tutorial. ArcSoft has an online FAQs page and a contact form for technical support. 

ArcSoft PhotoStudio is outdated and outdone by the higher ranked  products. Even the most basic editing software should contain contemporary images and features. Look to TopTenREVIEWS top choices on the side-by-side comparison chart for better options.
