This versatile imaging package does almost everything a casual photographer needs it to. StudioLine Photo's bulky but handsome Mac-style interface makes it convenient to edit several photos at once. The program imports photos directly from most digital cameras, maintaining images in an archive and keeping a record of any changes or enhancements.
You can resize, crop, perform color corrections, and visually balance image quality and size, and immediately apply your operations to any number of images. Making a Web gallery is a breeze, thanks to a wizard dialog that guides you through all stages of the process.
The only glaring shortcoming in this feature is the mere 16 page styles it gives you to work with. Overall, though, StudioLine Photo Classic is instructive and easy to use, and it's a solid choice for novices and photo hobbyists.
StudioLine Photo Classic Plus is an organizing and editing software for digital photos. Images can be imported from camera, scanner and all popular file formats. The image archive is the central database where you conveniently categorize your images and add keywords and descriptions. Standard IPTC and Exif tags are fully supported. 35 professional image tools are included with dual-monitor support to improve exposure problems, red-eye effects, color tones. Photos can be printed, e-mailed, uploaded as Web galleries or turned into calendars and greeting cards. A layout editor allows free design of album pages and other collage projects, including attractive text effects. CD/DVD writing is included--complete with printed CD inserts.
