ArcSoft PhotoStudio Editor's Review

To edit photos taken by your digital camera or Smartphone once in a while, you really do not need an expensive image editor. However, you can pick from several affordable image editing apps available in market. Arcsoft PhotoStudio is one decently priced image editor that is aimed at casual users who need to dabble with images occasionally.

The app runs on Windows XP and later versions. This is one image editor that will run smoothly even if your laptop or PC is not particularly new. It is rather odd that the Windows version supports only English while the Mac version is multi lingual. Arcsoft PhotoStudio supports major image formats including PNG, TIFF and JPEG. It can also deal with PSD images for both exporting and importing. Additionally, it can open a variety of RAW files. Installation is quick and there is no adware bundled.

The interface of Arcsoft PhotoStudio is simple and unobtrusive. In fact, it may remind you of Photoshop’s earlier versions to an extent. It comes with several image fix tools with adjustment sliders which work well. While you get a number of filters bundled, some of them may appear dated. Despite being an entry level image editor, the app offers support for layers. You can also adjust layer opacity. Effects like drop shadow and feathering are also there. Its Magic Cut feature works well for lifting an object or person from an image and place on a different file. It works well except when you deal with hair and furry edges.

The app comes with Beautify feature, which can be used to vanquish blemishes and marks on portraits and facial pictures quickly. It can be used to brighten skin tone, smoothen wrinkles or whiten teeth in an image etc. The HDR and stitching mode lets you add some chutzpah to dull looking images. Like Photoshop’s Actions, here you get macros and they can be applied on images after creation. You can add text and it needs to be typed into a separate window.

When compared to other apps, Arcsoft PhotoStudio lags behind as far as integrated export to different platforms and web is concerned. Even free image editors offer integration with social media and online sharing sites nowadays. Another drawback of the app is its inadequate help and customer support.

Positive Points:
 -  Cheap price, intuitive interface.
 -  Support for decent set of RAW formats.
 -  Low system requirement.
 -  Beautify feature works well to remove facial flaw.

Negative Points:
 -  Poor help and customer support.
 -  Some filters are near obsolete.
 -  No integrated online export feature.

Conclusion:
Arcsoft PhotoStudio is a basic image editor that is really easy to use than some of its competitors and has a reasonable price tag as well. Its feature set will meet need of casual users without any doubt. However, the app appears dated when compared with some of popular freeware image editors like Picasa and Gimp. Additionally, glitches like lack of Multilingual support for Windows, no online sharing and lackluster help section make it lose a few more points.

Rating: 3/5
