Save hours of time by instantly applying photographic effects to digital images with just one click.
No more layers! virtualPhotographer lets photographers with minimal knowledge of digital photo editing achieve professional results easily and quickly. Professional photographers and graphic artists will find the plug-in filter gives them exceptional control without spending hours at their computer. A single one-click preset effect in virtualPhotographer could involve 10 to 20 steps in a typical editing program. Apply combinations of layers, blend modes, film grain, color space modification, B/W, soft focus, high contrast and many other artistic styles. Get great results in seconds. Version 1.5.6 adds over two hundred pre-sets, batch mode, and features resizeable windows.
I have used many different softwares for editing my photo's and this one is at the top of my list. There are many different effects to choose from for both color or black and white photos. Simple drop down goes from one effect to the next saving A LOT of time when trying to find a different creative effect. VERY easy to use and highly recommended. I would not have taken the time to submit my review on this software if I did not feel that it would benefit my fellow photographers as much as it has benefited me. Photoscape, Zoner and the various effects from the software, Topaz are also the one's that you should download.
Cons
The only con would be to add more effects to the many you already have.
Summary
As I stated above, this software should not be overlooked - download it and you will be very happy with the cool effects that can be applied (and removed) as quickly as one keystroke.
Wow, does what used to take hours

Easy to use.
New version adds more even more features.
Allows custom settings to be saved for later.
Cons
Uses up my spare time as it is addictive.
Summary
For people who are looking to get artistic photos but are not comfortable with manually creating the effects this is the perfect solution. One photo can become multiple masterpieces in just a few clicks. If you find a look you like you can apply it right away in just one click, or you can make some adjustments and create a unique look. I don't think I can live without this now. I am addicted.
Wonderful program!!

Pros
I really liked this program because just about all of your filters you would use on your digital camera you can do digitally with this program in just a few SIMPLE clicks. Has different variations for color & b &w. A must have for tweaking photos!
Cons
program could look a little more stylish....it has a windows 98 look to it.
Summary
Use these filters results and blend layers for great looking effects

Summary
i'm a macromedia fireworks user and have found that photoshop plugins can be used in my program
so i popped this in and checked it out...
it has about 3 dozen presets that can be fully adjusted and saved to duplicate effects. the plug in itself loads quicker than come other plugins i have and is just a tad bit easier to use.
one of the features that i especially like is the film grain addition; you can select a film speed and get a grain similar to that ISO...
one of the common problems and reasons many traditional photographers (like me) are not moving to digital quickly is that film and digital are far apart from each other still in their formats... digital is put into even lines while traditional film is random.
this plugin adds a note of randomness to a pic that can be used to hide the fact that it is a digital image.
the only thing i think would be better would be more selections of ISO settings and balloon assistance for learning.
