Turbo Photo

CNET Editors' review

Turbo Photo offers users the same results as dozens of other photo-editing programs. However, this download sets itself apart with the most user-friendly controls we've tested.

This program has clearly been designed with the user in mind, thanks to a sleek interface that avoids possible confusion at every turn. Where other editing programs offer a tangle of sliders and color wheels that leave a trail of confusion, Turbo Photo simplifies the process by limiting the user's control. While experts may not like this, newcomers will love it and will not need a trip to the Help file. Users can alter the position, color, exposure, and enhancement of their photo by clicking on the icons along the side. Depending on the tool, users are either given a showcase of different shots to choose from (such as the exposure option) or given a simple set of sliders to control the effects (such as with color). Regardless, all appear in a separate screen and are simple to monitor, control, and cancel if the results aren't good.

The best feature the program offers is an option to automatically process a photo. Users who may not know what is wrong with their shot can use this and most likely find their color and exposure drastically improved. By limiting users' ability to control every aspect of editing, novice users will be able to get more professional results over this program's 31-day testing period.

    "This is the "best" unknown photo editor available."

    August 22, 2010  |   By tjsgarden

    Version: Turbo Photo 6.7

    Pros

    For 99% of user this program will handle all of your editing needs. It is a hobby of mine to test photo editing programs and Turbo Photo has a very wide range of tools to use in most situations.

    Cons

    The program has many useful features that are hidden upon a quick review of the program. It takes a while to locate all the tools. It makes it simple for the novice but there is a lot more hidden below the surface.

    Summary

    If you don't need photoshop, this will do what is required in most situations.

    "A unique photo editor"

    May 3, 2009  |   By clay_cnet

    Version: Turbo Photo 6.5

    Pros

    It have so many greate features you may not get in other software. Focus on digital camera totally.

    Cons

    It is really good, but so many features need time to understand.

    Summary

    It covers a wide range of applications, with tons of functions. some of them I'd like to recommend include,

    Smart Erase, select a area on photo include a object you don't need, program just remove it, replace with background looks-real.
    Enlarge or resize photo, my favor. If you want to post photo on web , try it and 'Save for Web' together, the result is sharp and clear.
    Best RAW converting. OK, it is slowly, but worth to wait. The result will contains more detail than other RAW kit,
    Noise Reduction, no bad than Neat Image...
    ... a must-try tool.
