Abacre Photo Editor 2.1.1

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. If you want one of those words to be “wow”, then there are two things you can do. You can point the camera and take the perfect picture. But this is not exactly easy; it can prove to be a big pain in the unmentionables. So we are left with the second option – take the best photo you can, then enhance it.

You can enhance an application with a photo editing utility. There are myriad of such applications out there. Out of them all I would like to draw attention to the Abacre-developed, the aptly named Abacre Photo Editor.

The functionality this application provides is obvious from its well chosen name – it will edit your collection of photos. Here are the bits and pieces that are not obvious from its title, bits and pieces that will help you get a better idea of what Abacre Photo Editor can do:

- Make color corrections
- Resize, crop, rotate, blur your scanned or digital photos
- Prepare your images to be uploaded to the web
- Drag and drop is supported
- Use a multitude of filters to enhance images
- Abacre Photo Editor has two modes: Manual Mode, meant for the experienced user, and Wizard mode, meant for the novice user. In Wizard mode, Abacre Photo Editor will automatically suggest what corrections to apply to an image.
- Apply filters to several image files at once with Batch mode.
