H&M Software StudioLine Photo Classic 3 Plus Reviewed

StudioLine Photo Classic 3 Plus is a reasonable application for managing large digital photo libraries and optimising the quality of images, but if you simply want to organise and share personal and family photos without spending a lot of time editing them, ACDSee Photo Manager 2009 ($49) or even Google’s Picassa (free) are much more user friendly. These two tools don’t offer pixel-level editing capabilities, but they do provide easier, one-click corrections plus printing and photo sharing features. If you’ve read this far and fancy savouring some professional editing tools, turning a set of images into a slide show, publishing them to the Web as an online album, or even burning a CD/DVD or sending them to friends and family via e-mail, StudioLine Photo Classic 3 Plus could be just the ticket, but its interface is on the ugly side and it’s pretty text heavy. The sheer number of pop-up boxes proved annoying too. Professional photographers will, of course, rightly stick with Adobe’s Photoshop Lightroom (£211). @ ITreviewed @
