Easy Photo Frame review by softpedia.com's editors

about the functions of editing and effects

Another image embellishing option is text adding. Any commentary you deem suitable for the still can be added in all sizes and colors as well as in different fonts. Suffice to access the function in the toolbar, draw the region you want to fill up with your comment and the Text Style dialog will pop up with options for modifying the size, color, font and even formatting and alignment of the text.

Cropping certain parts of the image is possible, but unlike the regular crop tool in other software that lets you make any type of rectangular selection, in Easy Photo Frame the selection preserves the aspect ratio no matter what you do. This mischief does not go well with the big number of frames and stamps in the application or with its price. A bit more flexibility on this part is definitely a must, regardless of whether the app is used by novices or average users.

More options include adjusting the lightness, transparency or correcting the colors. For all of these preview is enabled so you see the modification in real-time. If in the case of the first two all you have is drag by a single slide in order to decide, with color adjusting there are slightly more options. Here you can modify the contrast of the image (brightness included), HSV (hue, saturation, value), HSL (hue, saturation and lightness), RGB, color equalization, FFT, adjust gamma, or sharpen the image. For each one preview of the modified picture is available.

All these will most likely sound like mumbo-jumbo to the average user, but they are actually quite professional tools. That's why they are on a totally discordant note with the overall software because the application seems to address a novice to average home user who does not have the necessary skills and background in image editing and adjusting.

If effects is what you want, Easy Photo Frame brings you a modest set of them. You can turn the entire image grey, add some wave effect, drop shadows, blur it, use the lens effect, round the corners, create a mosaic out of the picture or twist it. There are different values for each and the alterations are visible almost on the spot after clicking the preview button.
