Pep up with free programs, vacation photos

Who wants his eye candies holiday memories, does not have to dig deep into their pockets. Free programs for photo editing software can match fee.

The holiday is over, the sand still in their shoes near the memory still like that. Hundreds of photos ensure that it remains a beautiful memory in the future. But the pictures are not always perfect. You could here a little bit more color, there's a bit more sharpness and a few more effects tolerated. On the Internet there are plenty of free image editing programs, some of which may well compete with paid software. The most important thing about the free tools: You must be quick to operate and easy to understand.

Easily assembled and equipped with everything you need for image editing, is the JPG Illuminator. "He has so few tools as possible and as many as necessary. Therefore, beginners will find themselves lost in a very good program, "said Hartmann. In his eyes it is an absolute expert when it comes to work on the exposure of a photo later to turn to tinker with the colors and a professional black and white photo. In addition, you can trim away unwanted image elements with the program. "The image can be superior to the arm or the cords on the camera with a button easily take out". Another advantage, says Hartmann, who was fiddling option on: "The user can try out the various processing options, look at the results. Until you save it then lies down definitively. "

For ambitious beginner, the expert recommends Paint.net: Originally, the program will only paint a free replacement for Microsoft to offer through the constant expansion, it is now, however, much more, says Hartmann. Own because of the possibility of working at various levels, particularly Paint.net for image mounting and stand for at least the example in this field in Photoshop almost anything knows Hartmann. "The individual picture elements can be in color, shape and contrast diverse work." Hartmann warns, however, because the correction of under-and overexposure Paint.net bump up against its limits.

Within the industry is Picasa from Google as another all-rounder. While it is open in the image processing needs and desires let it shine in the image management. "It can create slideshows and web galleries, tag photos, and it automatically saves backup copies in case the hard drive crashes again," says Hartmann. It also has its very own search-and-order functions: Face Detection. "If you have a mass of images, for example at a wedding and you want only the first pictures with the bride and groom to edit it, liked it a face and Picasa will do the rest" is similarly extensive Xnview.
Only Gimp, which originated in the Linux world set, said Hartmann, the free programs on it under another. It offers a professional diversity and thus everything you could wish for cardiac imaging. However, it is getting used to the handling. Hartmann: "It has powerful tools. But it requires a lot of insane patience until you have worked in and understands what this program does it all. "
