Already well known for its easy-to-use iOS and Android photo editing apps, Fotor has just entered the desktop market with the release of the free\u00a0Fotor 1.0.0 for Desktop and Mac<\/a>.<\/p>\n And while the program is relatively simple, oriented more to quick optimizations rather than complex edits, it\u2019s also very easy to use, and has more than enough functionality to justify a download.<\/p>\n If a picture has lighting issues, for instance, you don\u2019t have to start playing around with brightness, contrast, colors or anything else. Just choose the conditions which applied when the photo was taken — \u201cBacklit\u201d, \u201cCloudy\u201d, \u201cSunset\u201d and so on — and the program will automatically optimise the image for you.<\/p>\n If the lighting is fine, but you\u2019d just like it to look a little more interesting, then Fotor has 60+ colour and lighting effects which could help. Again, it\u2019s all very easy. Choose a category from the list (\u201cClassic\u201d, \u201cLomo\u201d, B&W\u201d, \u201cVignette\u201d, \u201cArt\u201d), and thumbnails will show you how the current picture will look for every available effect. And if you see something you like, simply click it for a closer look.<\/p>\n It\u2019s just as easy to add a border to your image (and there are 30 available).<\/p>\n A very configurable Tilt-Shift effect allows you to fully customise the strength and position of the blur.<\/p>\n If you prefer more practical options, then there are also tools to rotate or straighten your image; sharpen or blur it; tweak exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature and tint; crop your photo, and view its EXIF data.<\/p>\n And when you\u2019re ready, there are tools to quickly share your images on Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n If there\u2019s a small problem here, it\u2019s that the Fotor interface still feels more like an app than a Windows application. You can\u2019t open multiple images at once, for instance. There\u2019s no edit menu here, no right-click options. There are no single letter shortcuts for menu items (you can\u2019t press Alt+F, O to open a file, say), and other standard hotkeys — like F1, for instance — aren\u2019t supported at all.<\/p>\n Still, once you\u2019ve got used to this,\u00a0Fotor<\/a>\u00a0does prove to be very quick and easy to use. Some of its tools are very capable (there\u2019s an excellent Crop function, for instance), and on balance it\u2019s a simple but effective way to optimise and share your latest photos.<\/p>\n Already well known for its easy-to-use iOS and Android photo editing apps, Fotor has just entered the desktop market with the release of the free\u00a0Fotor 1.0.0 for Desktop and Mac.
