CNET Editors' review
Graphic Workshop Pro tries to give you the basic tools you need to manage your digital photos. Unfortunately, those tools are packaged in an awkward and unappealing user interface.
The program's plain interface bears little resemblance to the sleek photo editing programs we're used to seeing. The top of the window contains basic menu items and navigational buttons, and there's a tree menu on the left side for browsing for images. Opening an image also opened a completely new window containing a basic image editing palette. The additional window made navigation very weird, and we're not sure why it's necessary, since there's plenty of space in the main window for editing the image. Nevertheless, we were able to use the palette controls to easily rotate and zoom in on the image. The Filters window let us add effects to our image, such as Emboss, Invert Colors, Jigsaw, and many more. We were able to preview the results before finalizing the effect, but we have to say, the results left a lot to be desired. You definitely shouldn't expect professional-quality photo editing with this program, but it works well enough for basic enhancements and editing. Probably its best feature is its ability to save the image in multiple file formats, such as BMP, IMG, JPG, and PSD, to name a few.
Graphic Workshop Pro leaves a folder behind in your Program Files. If you can get past the weird interface and navigation, we recommend it as a very basic photo editor.
