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. 
Here are some possible results :

         

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) 
Transparency management for GIF images and exporting them to icons (16, 256 or 16 millions of colors) 
Advanced text effects (rotation, shading, bevel) 
Serveral types of contours and textures
Blending and assembling of images

Registration 

PhotoFiltre is free for a private, non commercial or educational use (including non-profit organizations). 
In this case, registration is not necessary. But commercial or professional use requires a registration.

  PhotoFiltre Studio 
 


Introduction

Although it is the PhotoFiltre successor and looks alike it, this Studio version is more powerful than 
the older. The layer support is not the only evolution of this software. A new display engine has been 
developed in order to handle real-time merging and alpha channel support. I have kept the same User 
Interface, because I think it's a more natural way to upgrade the software. Experienced users will be 
surprised to learn how much additional features they will get with the layer support.

The Tools palette

      

The new Color palette, larger and, lets you select colors easier than ever before (you can switch with the
grid mode, gradient or the Windows' colors picker dialog box). 



You have a larger number of items : 

- The Erase tool : You are able to use it in Layers mode, Transparent mode and RGBA mode. 
- The Retouch Tool : Lets you correct Red Eyes effects or Gamma Level 
- The layer Manager : Provides quick access to commonly used options of the current layer. 


The brushes



The Drawing tools give you more choices of shapes and options. 
The "Rainbow" option lets you draw a gradient along the line. 


The Layers

 

Each picture has an independant Layers Frame. Three thumbnail sizes are available: 
- Standard size (see the screenshot above) 
- Large size 
- Invisible (Null size)

PhotoFiltre Studio can handle several layers type: 
- Bitmap Type: (eg. : Cut/Paste Operations) 
- Text Type : Dynamic, it can be modified at any time 
- Settings Type : provides Real-Time gamma, contrast or Hue adjustements 
- Color Type : provides Real-Time transparents effects 

Some Drop Shadow Options are available in Bitmap & text mode. 

Dialog Boxes

 

PhotoFiltre Studio provides customized Dialog Boxes. 
It can be transparent on Windows 2000/XP (optional) 


Automatic Stoke and Fill option

 

This option lets you fill with colors or draw strokes of a vectorial shape automatically. Very useful for creating 
organization charts for example, by using Line Tool with Single or Double-Sided arrows. 


The Erase Tool



Very effective for make some hand-drawing area, this tool can be used like the brush but instead of drawing, 
PhotoFiltre Studio erases the selected area and make visible the transpareny grid (Transparent or RGBA mode)
or the lower layer (MultiLayer mode) 


Automatic Transparent Gradient tool


  

I have added some Transparent Gradient features in order to simplify Image editing. These functions operates 
on the Alpha channel directly. 


Red Eye correction feature

  

This feature can be enabled with the Retouch Tool by selecting the part of the picture to soften. 
Red Eye removal is very easy to use.


Animated-GIF generator

  

This module uses the layers to generate an animated GIF file. Each frame is calculated by merging the visible 
layers one-by-one. General options are available (Delay, loop...) 


Enhanced PhotoMasque module

 

The transparent mode, applied to a layer let you get Original Borders because the filter modify the alpha channel, 
not the image layer. The same technique may be used for a picture into RGBA mode. 

 


Icon export

 

PhotoFiltre Studio allows you to create 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64 icons. 
All colors format are available but several modes are not supported by some Windows version.


Add, substract selection

 

You can add or substract some parts of your selection by using CTRL or ALT keys. 
But you work into Bitmap mode (same as the Magic wand), not in Vectorial mode.


Selection and Frange mode 

 

This feature lets you create a frange (border with customized thickness). The work is automatically exported
as a Bitmap type selection. 


New Buttons on the Toolbar 

         

I have added some additional buttons on the toolbar : 
- Copy / Paste as a layer / Paste as a new image (very requested option) 
- Sepia 
- Color Balance 
- Relief 


Buttons on the Image Explorer 

 

The exploration module now provides a toolbar that allows quick access to the predefined folders 
(selections, masks, patterns...)
