What PhotoFiltre is

PhotoFiltre is Windows desktop image-editing software for simple or advanced adjustments, filters, and photo workflows. It supports RAW, HDR, WebP, and JPEG 2000 files, along with layers, masks, and batch editing. PhotoFiltre Studio can use bitmap, text, adjustment, and solid-color layers, including drop shadows for bitmap and text layers. Filters cover brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, gamma correction, and artistic effects. Selection tools include automatic shapes, lasso, and polygon modes, and selections can be saved. The program also provides customizable brushes, red-eye correction, automation, and PhotoMasque effects for contours and transparency. PhotoFiltre 11 supports plugins and 8BF filters, but some 32-bit or highly specific plugin types are unsupported. PhotoFiltre 11 has a 30-day trial. PhotoFiltre 7 is free for private or nonprofit use, while commercial or professional use requires a Studio X licence. A PhotoFiltre 11 licence costs €29, paid once.
