Not always you are at your best and take the best of photos , ligthing or other parameters also add to bad photography, Not to mention photos taken while you are travelling!.That would be worst nightmare (As not much help on motion blur is available).
Yet another use of photoediting is you can create some really artistic photos , like in smoke photography using photo editors.
Photo editing , though cannot help you if the information itself is not captured (say in a hugely overexposed image all you see is bright light and as the information of that scene is not captured you can do nothing to restore it), it can definitely help to enhance the image quality or lighting or say resize it to different size.
I have listed 3 really good photo editing tools which are free to use but at the same time can really make a difference to your photo.How to use and how to enhance will be covered in future.
1) GIMP - any day it is one of the best editing tool which is open source with lots of features, comparable to that of photoshop or lightroom.I guess a hard core techy would go beyond and try to write a new plugin or fix bugs meanwhile.
I will explore features of GIMP in following articles, Its really fun to explore.
Download link : http://www.gimp.org/windows/
2)Picasa - A free google tool with very good user interface , best suited for basic fixes like fill light , auto contrast or for getting some special effects like B&W , sepia , hue and saturation etc.It Also provides easy option to upload to web and signatures/watermarking.
Download link : windows : http://picasa.google.co.in/
linux : http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html
3) Irfanview - Very simple tool , extremely easy to use , works well for cropping , image resize is the best , really good for upscaling (ofcourse lack of information will be a constraint)

Windows photo gallery is also there. It has nice user friendly features
ReplyDeleteNever got around to using GIMP Really.. though have extensively used Picasa and a bit of Photoshop as well :)...
ReplyDeleteWondering though how good Gimp is since I am thinking of using GIMP as well and hopefully making it my image editor of choice :)
@Rohith i am quite happy with GIMP that i havent tried windows photo gallery , If i get a chance to use i shall i definitely include it in my list
ReplyDelete@talkreviews It's a really handy tool , though it doesnt appear to be user friendly @ first , soon you will get hooked onto it. You can find some good tutorials in here :

ReplyDeletePaint.net is (at least in our opinion) the simplest option on the list. It still comes with a ton of powerful features like layers, adjustments, and user-created plugins, but is simple enough that complete newcomers can grasp it immediately. The features are across the top, and filters are accessible from a drop-down menu.
ReplyDeleteSome of the special effects are pretty cool: sharpen, blur, distort, emboss, etc. You can even get some Instagram-esque vintage effects in there for good measure. We don’t want to waste too much time on this one. It’s got a lot of features, an easy interface, and a simple layout. If you’re struggling with others on this list, then stick with the easiest option.
