CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It s nice to see a photo-editing program aimed at the audience between rank beginner and the seasoned pro. Similar to many basic programs, Photo Lab offers simple touch-up filters, including the all-important red-eye reduction. But it also provides effects such as Gaussian blur, sharpening, saturation adjustment, and brightness and contrast correction. It supports TIFF, BMP, GIF, JPEG, and even multilayer Photoshop files. Photo Lab also includes multilayer support, color filters, fade-out effects, a clone tool, a gradient tool, and selection tools. You will find a few basic drawing tools but nowhere near as many as we've seen in other image-based applications. The interface is similar to Adobe Photoshop, and you can make many changes in the preview mode. However, there s no way to customize the itsy-bitsy toolbars. The online help is rather spotty, too. Photo Lab best suits users familiar with Photoshop, but who don t want its high-end features, or high-end price.Publisher's description

Version: Selteco Photo Lab 4.0.0.1
Pros: The animations are wonderful. Animations are flawless. I love this product. Doesnt freeze up. Edits pictures. Optimizes gif to make them smaller
Cons: It's only flaw is that it create very large files larger than 5mb...which can be a problem when uploading on the web. But otherwise its wonderful

Version: Selteco Photo Lab 4.0.0.1
Pros: This software has been excellent for me. Having used Paint Shop Pro for so long, waiting up to a minute for it to load, and being so top heavy, I am quite pleased with PhotoLab. It loads in a couple of seconds, provides powerful tools similar to those in the expensive packages and saves files quickly. For web graphics, and personal photo enhancement, I wouldn't use anything else.
