Many of us like to take photos, sometimes the photos turn out to be great but mostly we feel like our photos need a retouch, some editing, or may be a filter or an effect to make them look better. Many people also like to edit their photos before posting them online. But the problem is that the professional editing tools are way too expensive and complex, while the basic editing tools aren’t really satisfying.

Taking photos is a practice that comes naturally to most people. Apart from just taking the photos, many people would like to retouch or edit them in one way or another. Well, you can do so using different photo editors. For the most professional look and results, you may need to use the complex editors. However, the availability of simpler photo editors like Home Photo Studio provides options. As always, I like trying out other options.
First Impression
As I was downloading Home Photo Studio, I noted its size, which is way less than that of Photoshop. The installation was also smooth and I was right into editing in no time. The editing options are arranged spaciously on the left and top bars.
Pros
Nice Collection of Effects and Filters
After choosing a photo using Home Photo Studio, it will appear in the main window. Depending on what you want, you can tinker around will the various options that the program provides. One of such options is applying Effects and Filters. You can access this option right at the top bar. The Effects range from Color, Illumination, Geometric, Simple, Complex, Stylize, to Nature. The Style and Nature Effects were my top used effects.
Record Action for Quick Future Use
While editing photos, you may end up with a nice result but forget the steps and actions you applied to get the result. Given that idea, I found Home Photo Studio’s feature to record all my edition actions to be very handy. The feature lets you record and save your action under your preferred name. when doing future editing, you will only need to choose your photos, select your preferred Action, and click on the Run button.
Quickly Add Picture Frames
For whatever reason, you might want to add Picture Frames. Home Photo Studio will have you covered. Adding a picture frame is simple as it only requires you to click on the Decoration option, choose your preferred picture frame and apply. You can also head to the Image option to access a whole bunch of sub-options like adding text, shadows, and borders.
Cons
Limited Undo Steps
When it comes to editing, there is usually a lot of modifications involved. In order to perform such modifications, it would be necessary to undo some of the steps that you may have applied. I have used Photoshop and it offers this option in addition to its Layers feature. However, when using Home Photo Studio, I was limited to only 7 undo steps during my editing. The limit made the experience less fun, since I had to be sure about my steps all the time.
Unavailable Effects
I have to note that Home Photo Studio has a respectable collection of photo effects and filters that only require few clicks to apply. However, during my usage, I realized some of the effects were unavailable. Under the Stylize Effect, the Poking, Book Illustration and Glowing Edges effects were not available.
Conclusion
If you have a bunch of photos that you want to edit right away without having to learn editing skills, then you should consider Home Photo Studio. The program has a nice collection of editing options, and photo effects and filters. Editing will take you less time. Overall, the program will be a worthy addition to your collection of installed applications.
A small program that has a lot of options for it’s size. I like this better than some of the photo programs that’s been offered that were 5 times larger than Home Photo Studio. Nice tutorial video too. It’s a keeper for me. Thanks for this offer. Thumbs up.
Free Home Photo Studio is the simple photo editor that packs quite the punch. It will give you pro features found in premium software like Photoshop without necessarily complicating your life. It will do the simple yet important photo editing tasks you would want to accomplish on a regular day.
Pros
Wide functionality catalog
Free Home Photo Studio lives to its very reputation. It will give you a wide range of retouch, correction, and enhancing tools that are critical in the creation of that super photo from home. The red eye correction feature couple with the blemish removing brush (spot healing brush) comes in quite handy when getting rid of pimples or marks you don’t want in the photo.
One click application
All the complex editing takes place in the background. All you have to do is choose an option and apply it with a single click of the button. This makes free Home Photo Studio relatively easy to use in comparison to other photo editors that require multiple steps to accomplish perfection.
A wizard for every complex task
If you want to accomplish a set of complex tasks, for instance change the entire photo background and adjust skin tones, you can always count on the wizard to guide you through. The constant suggestions made things easier for me and eased out my learning curve.
Dedicated photo print tool
Printing is always a nightmare – especially if you cannot print using the tool you used edit the photos. I find Home Photo Studio’s thought to incorporate a working photo preview and print tab quite impressive.
Cons
Limited file support
Home Photo Studio can only save your images in five formats. Even though these are the most common formats in the market, it is still limiting to people who want to explore other image formats for one reason or another.
Verdict
Free Home Photo Studio might not be good as professional photo editing tools but it will satisfy all your local photo-editing needs. It will lend a touch of professionalism to your photos at no extra cost. Since it is easy to learn and use, you will always have the satisfaction of having retouched your own photos.
