“Blends powerful photo editing with project templates”

by James Thornton about ArcSoft PhotoImpression

ArcSoft PhotoImpression is a powerful, feature-filled photo editing application that doesn't make creating classy graphics too difficult to achieve.

It has to be said that PhotoImpression pulls this off pretty well, and its colorful interface manages to marry some of the advanced features of programs like Photoshop with the simplicity of an app like the GIMP or IrfanView.

PhotoImpression's GUI is laid out in a way that leads you intuitively through the process of organizing, enhancing, and creating interesting looking photos and graphics, whether it's to share on the web, email to your pals, or print out.

Clicking each of the tabs that represent these stages of production will bring up a series of controls that help you perform a variety of tasks, from fixing problem photos to applying effects and frames to your images.
It would have been nice to see support for more advanced manipulation tools such as layers and gradients in PhotoImpression, but for someone who's just retouching or revamping their snaps, this is ideal.

PhotoImpression performs admirably compared to the wonderful, if strangely-named, GIMP. However, perhaps the key difference with this and its open source rival is you must part with cash for the full version of PhotoImpression.

Pros
  • Lots of useful photo editing functions
  • Very straightforward to use
  • Useful Help pages
Cons
  • Missing decent support for layers & gradients
  • Not as cheap as the GIMP (i.e. not free)
