Image InDepth

A well-designed photo-editing program aimed at consumers, Image InDepth offers much of the power of Photoshop and other higher-end products, without the complications.

Traditional features such as color manipulation, effects, filters, and transformations are here, along with basic editing functions such as cropping, rotating, and zooming. Images can be combined in different layers, allowing much of the same artistic possibility offered by the most powerful programs. Drawing tools provide the additional ability to enhance images, or even start from scratch.

The interface is similar to Photoshop, but with fewer advanced features, it likely will be easier for a nonprofessional to master. With most of the features that nonprofessional photographers will need, this software is easy to recommend to all but the most demanding users.
