Zoner Photo Studio might well become your only set of tools for retouching, enhancing, converting, and organizing your photo collection. This comprehensive photo studio offers you a bit of everything – a powerful editor, a collection manager, an image importer, and a set of utilities that usually require you to install a bunch of third-party applications, and which allows you to create 3D images, panoramas, calendars, etc.
The variety of tools and features this program provides is certainly overwhelming. Zoner wisely groups them into five categories – download, manage, edit, create, and share. “Download” allows you to import all your images directly from cameras, the Internet, PDF files, etc., and have them sorted and organized on the fly. The program’s organizer not only puts each image where it belongs, but it can also tag, rename, describe, and back them up for you. The editing functions provided cover every aspect of digital photo “developing” – exposure, white balance, contrast, hue, temperature, saturation, noise reduction, you name it. This image enhancing process can be easily automated thanks to the program’s long list of editing profiles. On the creative side, Zoner Photo Studio comes with a wide range of effects and filters for you to create panoramas and 3D images in various formats, apply HDR filters, remove unwanted objects, create collages, compare photographs, etc., to enhance and liven up your photo collection. And finally image sharing. Zoner offers its registered users Zonerama, an online warehouse where you can store your photos and share them with your friends or fellow photographers. And of course, Flickr, Facebook, and Picasa are also supported.
In a nutshell, I would say that the beauty of this interesting suite lies in the variety of angles it offers to amateur and even professional photographers. It does not matter what your needs are – most probably, Zoner Photo Studio can offer you a creative and attractive way of dealing with them.
