PhotoFiltre Studio is a complete image retouching program. It allows you to do simple or advanced
adjustments to an image and apply a vast range of filters on it. It is simple and intuitive to use, and 
has an easy learning curve. The toolbar, giving you access to the standard filters with just a few 
clicks, gives PhotoFiltre Studio a robust look. PhotoFiltre Studio also has layer manager (with Alpha
channel), advanced brushes, nozzles (or tubes), red eye corrector, batch module and lot of other 
powerful tools.

The filters


Its wide range of filters allows novice users to familiarize themselves with the world of graphics. 
You can find the standard adjustment functions (Brightness, contrast, dyed, saturation, gamma
correction) and also artistic filters (watercolor, pastels, Indian ink, pointillism, puzzle effect). 

      

Vectorial selections


PhotoFiltre Studio uses two types of vectorial selections. The first type uses automatic shapes 
(rectangle, ellipse, triangle, rhombus, rounded rectangle). The second type corresponds to the 
lasso and polygon. They both allow a customized form by drawing a shape by hand or using a 
series of lines. Every selection can be saved into a seperate file, to be used later on.

       

The brushes


PhotoFiltre Studio has some standard brushes (round and square in different sizes), but also 
some more varied forms (oblique line, custom shapes, ...).



The Rainbow option lets you draw a gradient along the line. More effects than 3D, Pastels and 
Charcoal are available too. 

The Layers


 

Each picture has an independant Layers Frame. Three thumbnail sizes are available: 
- Standard size (see the screenshot above) 
- Large size 
- Invisible (Null size)

PhotoFiltre Studio can handle several layers type: 
- Bitmap Type: (eg. : Cut/Paste Operations) 
- Text Type : Dynamic, it can be modified at any time 
- Settings Type : provides Real-Time gamma, contrast or Hue adjustements 
- Color Type : provides Real-Time transparents effects 

Some Drop Shadow Options are available in Bitmap & text mode. 

Automatic Stoke and Fill option


 

This option lets you fill with colors or draw strokes of a vectorial shape automatically. Very useful 
for creating organization charts for example, by using Line Tool with Single or Double-Sided arrows. 

The Erase Tool 




Very effective for make some hand-drawing area, this tool can be used like the brush but instead of
drawing, PhotoFiltre Studio erases the selected area and make visible the transpareny grid 
(Transparent or RGBA mode) or the lower layer (multi-layer mode) 

Automatic Transparent Gradient tool 
	


I have added some Transparent Gradient features in order to simplify Image editing. These functions
operates on the Alpha channel directly. 

Red Eye correction feature


  

This feature can be enabled with the Retouch Tool by selecting the part of the picture to soften. 
Red Eye removal is very easy to use.

Animated-GIF generator

	


This module uses the layers to generate an animated GIF file. Each frame is calculated by merging 
the visible layers one-by-one. General options are available (Delay, loop...) 

The PhotoMasque module


With PhotoMasque you can create advanced effects of contour and transparency on your images 
by using preset masks. These masks are grayscale images, where white is the transparancy color, 
while opacity increases as the shades of gray become darker. Black means complete opacity. PhotoMasque comes with several basic masks to inspire you to create your own masks. 

 

Here are some possible results

      

The transparent mode, applied to a layer let you get Original Borders because the filter modify the 
Alpha channel, not the image layer. The same technique may be used for a picture into RGBA mode. 

 

Icon export


 

PhotoFiltre Studio allows you to create 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64 icons. All colors format are 
available but several modes are not supported by some Windows version.

Add, substract selection


 

You can add or substract some parts of your selection by using CTRL or ALT keys. 
But you work into Bitmap mode (same as the Magic wand), not in Vectorial mode.
