When coming to automatic corrections our software is an excellent choice as well: try its Quick Fix, Auto Contrast, Auto Stretch, Auto Colors, Auto White Balance and many others.

In v. 5 a special attention and accurate tuning was put in every algorithm. With all its correction tools Focus Photoeditor will make your pictures look incredibly clean, sharp and perfectly balanced.

Retouch

In Focus Photoeditor any editing tool can be used  with color mode or with retouch mode. This gives you great flexibility in choosing the right tool for retouching different parts of a picture.

  • Very effective is the Anti-RedEye retouch tool. Get rid of this annoying problem very quickly: select the eye color and choose the most suitable tool (for example a round brush or an ellipse..).
  • The clone tool will let you remove unwanted details or duplicate existing ones.
  • It is possible to lighten or darken details, improve sharpness, increase saturation using any of the editing tools provided.
Paint and Draw
 

Focus Photoeditor is an excellent painting and editing program. You can paint, draw lines, polygons, ellipses and apply color, textures, gradients and objects.

  • Customizable brushes let you create any work of art.
  • With Cloning you can turn your photos into paintings, by copying part of one picture onto another, using your preferred color.
  • Edit precisely using grids and guides.

NEW! In version 6 you will now find Graphic Tablet support, that will let you use your pen-tablet with its sensitivity to pressure. In this way you'll achieve perfect results during painting and retouching.

Compose with Layers
Focus Photoeditor - as every advanced image editor - supports layers.

Layers let you:
  • Experiment photo correction without modifying the original picture.
  • Create photo collages of several images one on top of another.
  • Add Text with several effects, without having to merge them into the picture
  • Create transparent blend effects between pictures.
Give your photos a special touch with Filters
Focus Photoeditor has a very large number of built-in filters.

Moreover it can use Adobe PhotoShop (tm) compatible Plug-Ins. Many plugins are just waiting to be downlaoded and used for free on the internet and some can be purchased at very reasonable prices.

A plugin that we recommend is "Virtual  Photographer": check it out on our Plugins page.
