Reviews for PHOTO WORKS Projects 3
PHOTO WORKS Projects 3
The number of photographers out there in the world is astounding. Virtually, if you have a smartphone, you are well only one shot away from trying out your hand in photography. Having said that though, it is clear that taking time to edit and adjust individual aspects of photos would give them depth and a touch of professionalism.
Many people shy away from the idea of editing photos because of the steps the process entails. Although using Photoshop, the most common photo-editing application, is sort of a basic requirement for photographers, its variety of tools intimidate others. That is why you would consider an alternative. In my measured search for such an alternative, I came across PHOTO WORKS Projects 3.
The basics and first impression
Having used Photoshop before, it was easy for me to note this program’s installation file size, which was considerably small compared to the Photoshop’s. After few clicks, I was through with the installation wizard and ready to get started. I took few minutes to check out the available features and I have to admit that my prior photo-editing experience was going to help as far the UI layout was concerned. The UI arrangement oozed professionalism and presented a notable sense of organization.
Pros
One-click effects and filters
Photoshop gives you an undeniable sense of flexibility when editing your photos. However, a good number of people would prefer simple ways of achieving similar results. That is where PHOTO WORKS Projects 3 comes in handy. To start with, this editor boosts of over 100 filter presets at your disposal. As such, you will only be one click away from turning your normal photos into pieces of art.
Supports a wide range of image file formats
Being a relatively less popular option regarding photo-editing software, you might think that PHOTO WORKS Projects 3 is limited when it comes to the type of images it can process. However, that is further from the truth. Actually, this editor supports RAW files in addition to nearly all the smartphone and camera image files.
Small learning curve
Few attempts would be enough for you to understand the work of the features and tools available on this editor. In no time, you will be well into editing your photos with ease than before. Such ease arises from factors like the well-laid out UI, numerous presents, and lack of layers and masks.
Con
Compromise on flexibility
The availability of tons of presets is a good approach in simplifying photo-editing. However, the approach could also lock out many photographers who still want to be in control of playing around with specific contrast, color, sharpness, and brightness of photos instead of the preset filters.
Verdict
If you are looking for a photo-editor to kick start your photography enthusiasm, then PHOTO WORKS Projects 3 would be honorable pick. Its ton of filter presets will be handy in giving your photos different looks and feel.
Photo Works Project 3 is an excellent tool to both professional and armature photographers who aren’t so keen on being graphics designers. The programs offers a complete yet simple suite of tools that are practically all you need to give all your photos a professional touch. The tools will address all the popular photo editing accolades, from adjusting sharpness and contrast to shadow optimization, filter applications and color modification.
Pros
Well Laid Out UI
It’s easy to get lost in such a powerful application with a couple of editing functions and tools. Photo Works Project 3 managed to stick to a simple but functional layout that puts everything right where you expect it. This helps lessen the learning curve and the frustration between you and your first edited photo.
Light on the resources
Most of the photo editing software tends to be resource heavy. Even though Photo Works Project 3 drives a full HD display at 1280 x 1024 pixels, it didn’t seem to task my system so much. I still could run other resource intensive tasks in the background while editing and rendering my photos.
Integrations and plug-ins
Photo Works Project 3 has a couple of plug-ins and integrations that let you couple it with other photo editing tools. I use Photoshop a lot. The Photoshop plug-in came in quite handy. This extensibility makes it a perfect tool in even the veteran’s photo editing toolbox.
Cons
Video editing
We capture more and more video clips nowadays. Finding an entry point photo editing tool that can extend its capabilities to videos would always be a great plus
Verdict
Photo Works Project 3 has a wide variety of tools and preset filters that will help you convert your raw photos into utter perfection. It is a great post photo editing software to any creative or enthusiast photographer.
