What a great photo editing software should have?

We consider a great photo editing software should have the following factors. When purchasing photo editing software, you could refer to our suggestions below.

  • Ease of use - Obviously, many photo editing software have many features and parameters. But that's not enough. A great photo editing software should be easy to use and not confusing. Especially for photo editing software, wizards and templates are important. We can complete common tasks (e.g. red-eye, lighting adjustment) with ease and achieve great effect.
  • Features - We never know what operations we will apply to our photos. Photo editing software with rich features will not limit our creativity. 
  • Photo sharing - Now sharing photos become more and more important for photo editing software. Many people take this as the last step of editing photos. Email and web galleries are the most common ways to share photos. Perhaps you want to share photos on your PDAs, cell phone and so on. Photo editing softwares you are going to purchase should have tools to optimize you photos to share.
  • Import and export capability - Photo editing software should support most common file format, including BMP, JPG, GIF, PDF, TIF. However,  more is better.
