PCWorld Rating

A bevy of unique editing tools wrapped up in a better-than-average interface; full-resolution editing is optional and somewhat sluggish.

PCWorld Rating

Mimics Photoshop with amazing fidelity, including layer support; but it's less usable than the best, and short on flashy effects.

Bursting at the seams with whizzy features, but the convoluted and sluggish interface makes FlauntR a drag to use.

PCWorld Rating

Lots of special effects and a few interesting features can't compensate for a hopelessly annoying user experience.
