Editorial Review of PhotoPerfect Express

It's an imperfect world, and we all take imperfect photos. PhotoPerfect Express is a free and simple program to clean up your less-than-perfect photos. Don't look for many bells and whistles in this software, because you won't find any. Choose a photo, then select the method of image optimization you want from the right-side of the screen, and save the resulting cleaned-up photo. In two of the methods, a watermark appears; if you want to use those methods without a watermark, you have to buy the for-pay version of the program. If you want additional editing features, you'll have to pay as well.

No, PhotoPerfect Express isn't a power tool, but then again, it's free. And if you want simple photo cleanup, it's worth the download.

--Preston Gralla

Description of PhotoPerfect Express

Give your photos a professional finish by choosing from five instant one-click optimization results. Focus on taking pictures, and leave the editing to PhotoPerfect Express. Let's face it: who wants to spend hours laboriously processing all the pictures from the last photo session or family gathering by hand? Although you know that with a little post-processing, many of those pictures could be significantly improved. With PhotoPerfect Express, you'll see your photos immediately enhanced with five powerful lab-strength optimization algorithms - in just three easy steps, using an intuitive visual user interface. Simply select the result that you like best, save it and move on to your next photo. No further photo editing skills are required - even people new to a computer can use the software right away! You will be rewarded with vibrant, correctly exposed, locally contrast enhanced, dynamic range increased and memory color adapted photos. Photos which faithfully remind you of what you really saw. Also red-eyes and noise will be removed automatically if necessary.

Duration of ownership: 0 Days

Strengths: It seemed to work

Weaknesses: Forced upgrading and redating folders and files.

Overall Evaluation: I downloaded it and tried it. I then went to my pix folder to see the results of a picture I had used in the program and that's when I found that their installation process had changed ALL the folder dates and ALL the picture file date in ALL the folders! Now I will have problems finding pictures that I previously could locate by the date stamp. I detest any software which alters files without notice, so I immediately uninstalled the %$#@! program. I think you should warn potential downloaders of this stupidity.

Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

Strengths: Very easy and convenience to use. True 1-click optimization. Fast batch mode. Unexpectedly good results.

Weaknesses: As Preston wrote, no other bell and whistles.

Overall Evaluation: This software does what it is intended to very well. The user interface is well designed and making using it a breeze. The free optimization methods work pretty well. I however like method 4 better and also paid for removing the small watermark in it. The other 3 free methods do not have that watermark. Unlike stated in the PW review, one does not have to upgrade to the professional version to utilize all features. According to their web site it just one option among many. You just pay for what you need. For method 4 for example, I paid USD 24.99.

Strengths: It's so easy, fun and effortless to use. The results are good.

Weaknesses: No retouching possible, just image optimizations.

Overall Evaluation: For quick&dirty image enhancements, this software is real good. There are 2 more upgradeable options derived from the professional version, which offer even better results than the 3 free ones. I choose that route and do not look back.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: It tremendously improves my imperfect photos with little time/knowledge from me.

Weaknesses: For me there is none until now, but it's just me. Maybe when I advance, I may find some...

Overall Evaluation: I'm a novice in digital photography, for whom this tool is a great help. If you would like to max out the capacity of it, I would recommend to upgrade to be able to utilize the batch thingy, which is normally only available in the pro version.

Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

Strengths: Clean, straight-ahead GUI - very easy to use and surprisingly good results are achievable with the 3 free presets/options.

Weaknesses: Not many functionalities are included, but I guess, it's not intended to. So this is fine with me.

Overall Evaluation: For someone who does have not much time for processing photos like me, this product is great. Just 3 clicks and it's done. I'm currently thinking about upgrading, so that I can use it in batch mode. There are 2 other optional presets which may occasionally be better. However I don't think I will need to get them.
