FOTOR<br />

Fotor is last on my list of free editing software to try.<br />

Again, we have an interface which is a departure<br />

from Photoshop but has many of the basic tools. The<br />

icons are all on the left and all have their own drop<br />

down menu so that’s nice and easy to use straight<br />

away. Annoyingly it has ads and the limited feature<br />

but hey, they have to make some money somehow,<br />

and if the ads don’t bother you, there are enough<br />

editing tools in the free version for this to be a very<br />

good free alternative to Photoshop.<br />

As always, I like to check the basic ‘adjustments’<br />

panel first and then I go straight the effects and filters.<br />

I want to know what will make this a bit different or<br />

enhance my images in a way that isn’t going to be<br />

laborious and time consuming to do. I confess I kind<br />

of love the ‘beauty’ effects on this software. I have<br />

added eye shadow to the gecko in the screenshots<br />

on the next page.<br />

The Fotor interface - Nice and simple.<br />

Fotor has good retro filters which I'm a sucker for!<br />
