Fotor combines the ability to create collages and a simple photo editor, with which you can add effects, frames, trim and turn photos and several other things. If this topic is interesting to you, I recommend to take a look, what can be done with photos in this program. Photo editor works in Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. In XP, I think too. (If you rather need a link to download a photo editor, then it is at the bottom of the article).
Photographs Editor with Effects
After starting Fotor, you will be offered two options - Edit and Collage. The first serves to start the photo editor with a variety of effects, frames and other things. The second is to create a collage from the photo. First I will show how the editing of photos is arranged, and at the same time I will transfer all available items into Russian. And then we turn to the photocollage.
After clicking Edit, the photo editor will start. You can open the photo by clicking on the center of the window or via the File - Open program menu.
At the bottom of the photo you will find tools to rotate the photo and change the scale. On the right side - all the basic editing tools with which it is easy to get used:
- Scenes - pre-installed lighting, colors, brightness and contrast effects
- Crops - Tools to trim the photo, resize a photo or aspect ratio.
- Adjust - manual adjustment of chroma, color temperature, brightness and contrast, saturation, clarity of the photo.
- Effects - various effects, like those that you can meet in instagram and other similar applications. Please note that the effects are ordered on several tabs, that is, they are more than it may seem at first glance.
- Borders - Border or Photo Frames.
- Tilt-SHIFT - the Effect of Tilt-Shift, which allows you to make the background blurred, and allocate some part of the photo.
Despite the fact that at first glance there are not so many tools, you can edit the photo with them with most users, not superprofessional photoshop will be enough.
Creating a collage
When you start the Collage point in Fotor, part of the program, designed to create collages from photos (possibly previously edited in the editor).
All photos that you will use must first add using the "Add" button, after which their thumbnails appear on the left pane of the program. Then, they will need to just drag to the free (or busy) place in the collage to place them there.
On the right side of the program, you choose a template for a collage, how many photos will be used (from 1 to 9), as well as the aspect ratio of the part of the final picture.
If you select "Freestyle" in the right part, this will create a collage not by the template, but in free form and from any number of photos. All actions, such as changing the size of photos, zoom, turning photos and others, intuitively understandable and will not cause difficulties in any novice user.
At the bottom of the right panel, on the Adjust tab, there are three tools to set up rounded angles, shadow and thickness of the photos of photos, on two other tabs - options for changing the background of the collage.
In my opinion, this is one of the most comfortable and pleasantly decorated programs to edit the photo (if you talk about the initial level programs). You can download Fotor for free from the official site http://www.fotor.com/desktop/index.html
By the way, the program is available for Android and iOS.
