You can tell the importer to create a new folder, but by default, it just dumped image files into the root Pictures folder, not ideal for organization CR2 files, but thumbnails for these didn't display in the import dialog, though those for JPGs did. I could import raw camera files like Canon. Nor does the PhotoPlus installer add an import option to the AutoPlay dialog that appears when you insert camera memory. Turns out that, as with Photoshop, there's no importing capability in the photo editor, but you need to run the external PhotoPlus Organizer to take care of this, just as with Photoshop you have to run Bridge or with Photoshop Elements, Organizer. One thing I didn't see here was an Import option. You can also zoom in further in this latest version of the program, helpful for detail work.ĭifferent layouts are available for the interface, with those optimized for Designers, Painters, or Photo Editing, in addition to the default layout. I did, however, like how spinning the mouse wheel zoomed in and out, without even holding a shift key down. Another is that the filename doesn't display anywhere when you open a full view of an image in Organizer. This is just the sort of lack of helpfulness and intuitiveness you run across this app. For many common operations, though, the interface does seem faster than previous versions, and for long operations, a progress bar gives you an idea of how much time you have to wait.Īfter working on an image in the editor and then moving back to the Organizer, that helper app didn't open with the image I'd just been working on displaying, and I had to dig through my photo folders if I wanted to share that image or do some other organizing with it. When I enlarged the view raw photo files in Organizer, I only got a very pixelated enlargement of the thumbnail rather than a detailed image until half a minute later, when the full-resolution image loaded.

I did appreciate that the installation didn't require a lot of ancillary installations of runtimes and the like, and that I wasn't pressed to install a browser toolbar, the way I have been with other apps.

An update was available right when I first ran the program, and installing that was quick and simple.

At install, you'll need the serial number, which is not on the disc or disc case, but on your invoice, so don't discard that immediately, like I did! During the installation wizard, you're asked which files you want PhotoPlus to handle by default, and you can choose whether install sample images. It's compatible with Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP. You can either download PhotoPlus X6 from Serif itself or another online software store. Despite all this as we'll see, PhotoPlus still can't match Adobe's apps in either ease or power. And despite its relatively low price of $89.99, PhotoPlus includes many features found in Photoshop and Lightroom and some not found in its closer-priced competitor, Photoshop Elements, such as nondestructive cropping, recordable actions, 16-bit-per-channel, and RGB curve editing. This time with PhotoPlus X6, the software gets a boost with a new 64-bit image processing engine, Smart Selection and Edge Refinement tools, noise reduction, and a tilt-shift effect.

Doesn’t automate non-destructive editing.Ī perennial also-ran up against powerhouse apps from the likes of Adobe, Corel, and CyberLink, Serif keeps plugging away, adding the powerful tools we expect from those bigger names.

Interface not as slick or intuitive as competition.

Organizer app too separate from editor.
