Review for fellow SOSers:
Photomizer 2 2016-12-04 is slow, arduous, sparsely featured, inflexible, and not even close to the superior responsive performance and enormous variety of features/benefits of free Google Picasa v3.9.141.259 2015-10-13, free Irfanview v4.54, or free Adobe Photoshop various versions from 7 to CS 2 ( search for free offerings, including from Adobe ).
Engelmann has a -l-o-n-g- way to go to create a quick, inviting, powerful, all-purpose digital photographic image manipulation program – this is not it.

This is Engelmann Software GmbH Photomizer v2 Pro from 2016-12-04, not available from the vendor’s web site as far as I can find, and this offers full manual and automatic program features forever in the license, whereas the currently available trial of their newer Photomizer v3 has few permanent features, and 25-tries of full features.
So this offers older full features forever, or we can go to their web site and try newer features 25 times.
I’m always at a loss when a vendor offers an old discontinued version of their software, especially if the vendor has already replaced it with a newer version.
It’s not as if giving feedback is useful, since they’ve already moved on and are not making improvements to this older version.
And if the software we test today does not satisfy us in some way ( for me, in no way ), then it’s not as if we’re provoked by our negative experience to try their newer version, especially with the newer version’s trial limitations.
For their newer Photomizer v3 trial not offered here at SOS, see [ https ://photomizer. com/en/ ].
– Photomizer 3 Free + Trial, with red eye removal, conversion to other formats, raw, + 25 trials of other features.
– Photomizer 3 Basic ~$20 with optimization, for radiant photos, sharp contours, natural colors, in a single operation.
– Photomizer 3 Pro ~$30 ( upgrade from v2 for ~$25 ) with additional Retro and Tilt-Shift.
