PhotoFiltre is a complete image editing and effects package for Windows. (Free for personal individual use.)
PhotoFiltre is a complete image retouching program. It allows you to do simple or advanced adjustments
to an image and apply a vast range of filters on it. It is simple and intuitive to use, and has an easy
learning curve. The toolbar, giving you access to the standard filters with just a few clicks, gives
PhotoFiltre a robust look.
Filters
Its wide range of filters allows novice users to familiarize themselves with the world of graphics. You can
find the standard adjustment functions (Brightness, contrast, dyed, saturation, gamma correction) and
also artistic filters (watercolor, pastels, Indian ink, pointillism, puzzle effect).
There are more than 100 filters to be discovered !
Vectorial selections
PhotoFiltre uses two types of vectorial selections. The first type uses automatic shapes (rectangle,
ellipse, triangle, rhombus, rounded rectangle). The second type corresponds to the lasso and polygon.
They both allow a customized form by drawing a shape by hand or using a series of lines. Every
selection can be saved into a seperate file, to be used later on.
Tool bar
The toolbar is primarily made up of drawing tools, such as pipette, displacement cursor, fill bucket,
aerosol, brush, drop of water (blur), cloning stamp, smudge (finger) and magic wand.
PhotoFiltre has some standard brushes (round and square in different sizes), but also some more varied
forms (oblique line, leave, star, etc...).
PhotoMasque module
With PhotoMasque you can create advanced effects of contour and transparency on your images by
using preset masks. These masks are grayscale images, where white is the transparancy color, while
opacity increases as the shades of gray become darker. Black means complete opacity. PhotoMasque
comes with several basic masks to inspire you to create your own masks.
Automatisation module
This module allows you to apply basic functions/corrections (conversion, image size, framing) to a
group of images.
Other functions
Image browser
Plug-in management
Scanning of images using a TWAIN compatible device (scanner, webcam, photocamera)

Serveral types of contours and textures
Blending and assembling of images
