Editor's review of Zoner Photo Studio
stars
- "Intermediate photo editing"
- Version reviewed: Zoner Photo Studio 10
When it comes to image editing, the most feature-rich program isn't always what you want. Apps layered with technical detail can quickly overwhelm novice and intermediate users, and that's when programs such as Zoner Photo Studio Professional become their most useful. Zoner occupies the middle ground, offering a respectable helping of advanced features while scaling back on the mind-boggling complexity of other photo editors. With such an opportunity to reach a mid-level or budget-conscious audience, it's a shame this app isn't more soothing and user-friendly. The designers missed a few beats with a bare three-panel navigation interface from which the photo you wish to edit is entirely absent. Instead, photos click up in a separate editor with mysteriously restricted proportions-- a quarter- rather than full-screen view. Tucked between the frustratingly stunted interface, sluggish processing time, and off-kilter algorithms for auto-adjusted contrast are some refreshingly helpful features, among them color temperature tweaking, an ironing tool, and auto-white balance.
Despite some usability setbacks, we did tease out some good quality photos. While Zoner Photo Studio Professional won't be most professionals' top pick, it could suit beginner and intermediate users who want an affordable image-editing solution that includes some high-tech editing details.

Version: Zoner Photo Studio 10
"Interesting but missing functions"
Pros: This company (Zoner Software) is very arrogant. They say in their presentation text: "Have you ever bought photo software and found its missing something? With Zoner Photo Studio, this will never happen". But their program itself proves there are missing functions.
There is no Text function, there is no shadow function, there are not even the very important undo - redo icons, there is no button for ending the functionality of any of the rest icons, there isn't any control for opening the whole of an existing picture. (For the moment when I open a file of a picture to work, Zoner Photo Studio 10 opens ONLY A PART of the picture in the file). The arrogant owner of this program wants me to find more absent functions of Zoner Photo Studio? I could easely do it if he/ she wants...
Cons: Also the price is very very expensive for a photo editor of this class. Shall I state a few that are excellent and much cheaper? Most of them cost less than half (around $ 25 - 35) - not to mention quite a few ones that are from the best aroun and you can get them for FREE.
