FotoFinish
An image editing, designing and printing application, FotoFinish is packaged as three editions:
- FotoFinish BASIC, for either printing or emailing images, but without the editing and design features
- FotoFinish STUDIO, which adds editing facilities such as crop, resize, and rotate; plus borders, floating text and special effects
- FotoFinish SUITE, containing not only printing and editing, but also design and layout facilities
The top edition of FotoFinish, which offers facilities for designing cards, invitations, even business brochures, is popular with users who create collages and scrapbooks. Both the Studio and Suite editions have extensive editing capabilities, with color control, exposure adjustment, and retouching tools: everything being implemented in an easy-to-use way.
Comment
Of the three editions, FotoFinish SUITE is surely the best value with its layout facilities, professionally-designed templates and royalty-free graphics. Reviewers have given it full marks for its photo sharing options, but have found the editing facilities somewhat limited. Nonetheless, it has enough tools for its intended market, and, by all accounts, the help & support are terrific.
