CNET Editors' review
There are image editing programs that are so bare bones that they barely do anything besides crop and rotate, and there are behemoth image editors that use a lot of system resources and require a lot of time to master. Hornil StylePix falls squarely in between these two extremes, providing users with a powerful editing tool that is still intuitive and fairly easy to learn.
The program's interface is plain, reminding us a little bit of Microsoft Paint, but with sleek icons that give it a more modern feel. Toolbars across the top and down the left side give the program a slightly cluttered appearance at first glance, but it will quickly become apparent to users that the icons are familiar, well-organized, and described by helpful tooltips; what may at first seem cluttered quickly starts to look like a lot of useful tools at your fingertips. StylePix provides more than the typical number of photo editing features, with a wide variety of special effects. Some of these features work better than others--we didn't have a whole lot of luck getting realistic-looking results with the red eye correction tool, for example--but on the whole we impressed with what the program includes, and most of the features worked as expected. The program's online Help file is lengthy, addressing each of its many features, but we do wish that it went into more detail about each one. Overall, StylePix didn't exactly wow us, but we think it's a solid photo editing tool that should meet the needs of many advanced-amateur users.
Hornil StylePix installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.

"Works just like Photoshop"
Version: Hornil StylePix 1.12.2
Pros
What's not to like with a free version of a program like Adobe Photoshop, a program that costs hundreds of dollars. I recently restored a photograph of a friend that was faded, badly ripped, and had a discoloration line down the center of the picture. I even added additional color to her blouse and necklace to make the picture even nicer looking. Hornil StylePix performed every function flawlessly and the results were very satisfactory. The photograph again looked good like it had never been damaged.
Cons
If there are any cons, I don't knowofthem.
Summary
This photo program is a definite keeper. Go get it.

Cons
No complaints still learning the program.
Summary
This has been a good replacement for my old Photoshop, I recommend it for any newbie to pro.

"Great Product at a fantastic price"
Version: Hornil StylePix 1.6.5
Pros
1. Simple to use.
2. Free.
3. lots of options.
4. FreeCons
1. Using the sliders to adjust the level of sensitivity for a tool is a bit off; just a small change can have a large effect. A button and slider option would work better where each 10% increment could be selected, and then use a slider to tweak.
Summary
Does all it should, and does so much without cost.

"Almost great photo editor"
Version: Hornil StylePix 1.6.5
Pros
Loads of features. Wide range of image filters with live preview. Paint functions. Layers. Available in portable edition. Small program size.
Cons
Maybe a biit rough round the edges. e.g. instant preview sometimes stops working then later starts again on my PC. My Wacom tablet behaves strangely only in this program.
Summary
A good poor mans photoshop. Much easier to use than GIMP and much less of a CPU and memory hog to boot. Shame it doesn't work with my tablet.
