Mini Review - Helicon Filter - photo editorIntro:
Helicon Filter is a complete image editing solution for the digital photographer. Pro Version used in review, but there is only minor difference for most users. Who is this app designed for: Originally I thought this was a fantastic easy to use program for the average photo taker that wants to perform some improvements to their photo's. But after using for a while you will find that there are some unique and Power user options, tools that Photoshop find difficult if not impossible are a breeze in Helicon Filter. The Good Fast, Fast, Fast. If you need to improve some photos quickly, turn out some work that is presentable, this is it. Make some adjustments, save the adjustments and apply them to other images or batch process a whole folder. Simple, even your mother could use this. (my mum could not use Photoshop) Powerful, there are some features that are unique, but you have to poke around to find them (especially in Pro) Easy frame tool, reduce noise by colour, side by side comparisons, noise and sharpening maps, blur/sharpen brush, eyedropper white balance, Image stacking HDR, etc. The needs improvement section Programmers probably take for granted what a new user does not understand, the tutorial/help section is good, but you need to read it over and over. Some buttons and sliders are available, and you will need to dig to learn what they perform. No layers or masks. |
