PhotoPlus 6 is a basic photo editing program, a program suited for beginners which can be ascribed to its very user friendly and self explanatory layout. This program allows you to edit photos, apply effects to photos, add text, and more with a simple click. We will here give you a full in depth review of the software.

Lets Start!

Well, even though this software is free, you have to register which is a easy 5 step process which will culminate to Serif (the developers) sending you an authentication code (which sometimes might take some time). This process is redundant process, attributing to its poor user interface as well as delay in the registration process.

Interface

On running PhotoPlus 6, it will show a window of opportunities (Literally). As soon as it runs, it opens up a traditional photoshop interface asking you whether you want to start a new work, import a file or edit an existing one. PhotoPlus 6 is also compatible with Animation, so there is an option for that too (In fact they want to highlight the feature).

Features

This is the succulent part, a place to vaunt on PhotoPlus 6. PhotoPlus 6 includes a number of options which range from creating a new picture, opening saved work, creating an animation, import your photos, and viewing samples as discussed before. To add cream to that layer, PhotoPlus 6 offers several photo editing tools. This list includes the cropping tool, adjust the color tool, brightness tool, and the resizing tool. These tools are organized in a user friendly manner i.e on the left hand side and the top down menus fashion

Effects

For a serious photo editing, we need to look at Effects offered by PhotoPlus 6. PhotoPlus, like many other softwares offers tools like distortion, blur, edge, and rendering. It also provides popular effects used photo editing like the black and white effect and the sepia tone effect without having going through the trouble of adjusting color using the advanced features.

Text Effects

The Text tool is not a fancy one, but will do a decent job.You can add text by clicking the icon in the toolbar and clicking the photo. A text box will open and you can type your text and change the options at the top of the text editor. If you’re looking to create fancy text, this program isn’t what you are looking for.

Overall, Photo plus 6 makes a great learning software for users who want to learn photo editing. It is a free software and apart from the annoying registration process, you can say this software is as good as the real stuff.
