Best quick photo editing tool

Really good. recently had the opportunity to use InPixio Photo Studio, and I was thoroughly thrilled with the experience. The software program boasts an accessible design, and it affords a massive array of modifying features that make it elementary to decorate your photos. The interface is simple to use, and it makes it easy to navigate and make use of a variety of effects, filters, and modifications. The cease product is actually stunning, and I was capable to create professional-quality snap shots in a count number of moments

Pros

One of the outstanding function of InPixio Photo Studio is its capacity to remove of undesirable objects and imperfections with ease. The Clone Stamp tool works seamlessly and allowed me to seamlessly put off distractions and blemishes.The software is user-friendly and offers a wide range of editing tools that allow you to enhance your photos with ease. The intuitive interface makes it simple to navigate and apply various effects, filters, and adjustments

Cons

I didn't experience any major difficult.However, I did stumble upon some problems with the software's performance on my older computer. It was once a bit sluggish at times and required extra processing power

I used the trial version and then made a mistaken purchase

The customer service is good and tries to help in every way 24 hours a day. However, if you need more specific services, like billing and refunds, you will have to do that on a limited-time basis as they are overseas. 3 am to 12 noon Eastern time is the only available time. Although Chat is supposed to help (24 hrs support, not the phone), they can't handle the billing or admin issues.

I found overall, that this is a rather good package if you don't mind the subscription for what it is designed to do and are an amateur or cellphone photo taker only.

Pros

The speed for background removal and the effective result was good. The process for sky removal had a lot to be desired but was functional, as it left remnants of objects and smears that are in the foreground that needed to be tidied up. The other feature of removing unwanted parts of the photo was effective but only with lots of tedious effort if the to-be removed objects are very detailed, such as the ends of tree limbs and such.

Cons

Apparently, my mistake was there is no key for this software as it is a subscription. I didn't notice anything related to my decision to purchase an annual subscription on the website rather than a one-time purchase which I typically do. There are many other modules that are required to be purchased/subscribed if someone wants the same features like a decent editing package overall. This one was only for sky replacement, object removal, and background removal, although had the ability to edit lighting, contrast, and similar modifications.

On a separate issue, you may be waiting for a couple of days or more if you use their website support email. Currently, at this time of writing, I haven't heard about a refund request for 3 days. After using it for a very short time, I realized that the marketing was more hype than useful. Having several full-featured and complete editing packages I purchase once with continual free updates, I find they are more of a value, all things considered, and certainly better at what they are supposed to do if you do photo editing for a living.

Don't waste your time or money

Horrible. And [sensitive content hidden] in their refund department is the worst. Had threatened to dispute my charge after 6 emails requesting it to be refunded before she set an final email saying it would be?

Pros

Nothing and after dealing with both customer service and [sensitive content hidden] in the refund department with about 12 emails back and forth and threatened to dispute my charge did the send me an email saying it's being processed. Not holding my breath.

Cons

Their customer service is a joke. It took threading to dispute my changes to get a refund I requested the same day I bought it

All There

I have since retired, but have been buying inpixio products for several years, more or less since it first came out. those days you had to build up you extra programs one by one, individually it wouldn't be as good as any other editing program, but all together and integrated with each other it stood way above most of the best. naturally i was a regular upgrader of the product. Its well worth the money. When the studio versions came out it was like being rewarded for being a regular customer. When I retired i treated myself to the Studio 10 ultimate. Its better than I could have imagined, I can relax and take in these personal . Only missing one update in the pack, which i was surprised about as this was a major update to the program.
The advancement inpixio studio has made my photography cutting room floor so much less cluttered, please continue you advancement into newer things, thank you

Pros

Studio 10 Ultimate had almost everything with it

Cons

The only thing that was omitted was eclipse HD. i assumed that this would be included especially given the price and it had stated that everything was there. Sadly it wasn't.

Mixed experience

I own a number of InPixio products. When I installed Photo Studio 10, the previously installed products did not integrate; they appear in the start interface as if I didn't purchase them. My overall technical support experience has not been positive. I have several problems that I have not yet raised because raising them is time-consuming for me and the support for past problems has been slow. In brief, I use the software when I must. If I can do the work in Anthropics Portait Pro Studio Max, I do because I have almost no problems and additional features...but sometimes I must use InPixio for features Anthropics do not have.

Pros

The photo editting features, when they work as intended, which has not always been the case. Some of my favorite features are not found in PhotoEditor, but instead with other InPixio products I purchased that do not integrate. I'm not sure why the Photo Editor is called the "Free Photo Editor" cosidering it came as a part of the Photo Studio that I paid for. I'm running a 64-bit computer but some, or all, of my products are 32-bit versions...which may be contributing to my existing problems.

Cons

A series of technical issues resulting in total crash of the product I use the most. Support has been very slow. In some cases I had to wait a week for an initial response. After I modify and save a photo in Photo Editor my computer, Google Photos, Facebook, etc pick up the DATE MODIFIED as the DATE CREATED and use this instead. If I upload he original unmodified photo, I don't have this problem.

Another marginally useful subscription based software

Not impressed and won't recommend to anyone. This product was designed for the computer illiterate which is proven by their overly stated offer to help you install it on your computer and register it! The other reason inPixio does this is to try and sell you more stuff while they have you on the line! A pleasant person from Customer Support popped up a chat window while I was signing up and I asked them if you had to have a constant internet connection to use the software and they replied, "I don't think so?" then immediately tried to sell me other inPixio apps.

Pros

Didn't really find any pros. The layout is very minimal and appears to be targeted to those who have limited computer knowledge and have never used photo editing software. If you fit into this category then you might like this software. honestly though, if you're that much of a newb then you'd be better off getting one of the latest smart phones that can do what this software can, and much better.

Cons

I bought it since it was rated high for background removal - I used if for 30 minutes then deleted it from my computer. I have another photo clipping app on my computer that's just as good and it's free! In general I'm sick of the software industry moving to subscription based, cloud based and/or internet connection required apps! I work in areas with highly limited internet access and having to stay connected to the inPixio server is a complete deal breaker for me. I miss the days where you installed your software on your computer and you got a license key to activate it. This constant desire for these companies to have access to our PCs is ruining the industry.

Pros

Purchased for new assistant, the product I was given is worthless.

Cons

That it was a bait and switch situation. "You have to buy this to do that" Then I was given the simplest form of the product when I specifically asked for their top app.

Photo Studio 10 Matches What It Advertises!

I've only used it for a couple of months in preparation of assisting in a virtual (Zoom) workshop for our Church. I serve on the Temple and Family History Committee for our Ward in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Part of this "calling" is helping members of the Ward (congregation) with their genealogy by cleaning up old family photos and uploading to Family Tree and Ancestry.com (which church members are provided free access to). I provided examples and step-by-step instruction on use of the InPixio product. I wish I could provide an example of some of that workshop here. But, alas, I can't upload a picture that demonstrates what one can do with the product. Actually, it took a couple of products to do. I didn't switch to Photo Studio 10 and leave the others behind. I added it to the others. My quiver is still not completely filled with editing arrows!

Pros

InPixio products have great value in what you get for the $$ spent. Photo Studio 10 is one of many products that I use. Others include InPixio Photo Editor, Adobe Photoshop Elements, PicsArt Pro, Corel Draw, Corel Photo Paint, etc. I like InPixio Photo Studio for its intuitiveness and simplicity of use. Initially, I was looking for something that would help me to cleanup old photographs (e.g. remove noise, scratches, get rid of old under-exposure or over-exposure, contrast, or colorize black and white photos. A lot of products don't provide some of the aforementioned fixes. Some say they will but don't. Photo Studio 10 does offer some (not all) of the list above. That's why I have so many editing programs. I would say that I like InPixio Photo Studio 10 because id does what it's marketing blurb says it will do!

Cons

It doesn't have all of the features I would like it to have. None of them do. The product could be improved by cherry-picking some of the features of its competitors.

I find the program fairly simple once you have tried it several times. It fits my need for something different in my productions

Pros

I do a number of newsletters for Rotary and Bowls Clubs and I use programs to create and organise pictures and such.

Cons

A very cool software that's easy to use out the door

It's a great idea but the hype to make it look like a PIECE OF CAKE to remove background is just that, HYPE. On Facebook where I first saw InPixio, you made it look like two or three steps, when in reality, as a US Navy Graphic Illustrator and Designer (35 years in the business with 11 before that in the Navy), it's NOT that simple. I use precision and detail to make my pictures PERFECT. InPixio is not that but what it is, is a simpler way to get started and nothing more.

Pros

I used it for all the pictures on www.kenyonglover.net on the front page. I'm an avid user of Paintshop Pro since it was first brought out by JASC in the late 90's. InPixio is far easier to use for background erasing.

Cons

The background erasing tool is weird and doesn't completely do the trick. The edges around the picture remain and thus, I had to go back into Paintshop Pro and use the point-to-point edge select tool to remove the ghosts from the background InPixio couldn't or wouldn't remove. Took me more time but it shows that InPixio needs fine tuning. If you look at the pictures on the website above, the edges are CLEAN because I used Paintshop Pro to do the finishing.

Response from LULU Software

Hi! Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it. Please be sure we our developers are constantly working to make the software even easier to use. Be kindly informed that you can adjust the sharpness of the edges in Photo Cutter by adjusting Feather tool

Great app for doing photomontages

Mostly it's been good and I find it very handy to use when editing or altering my pictures.

Pros

The wide number of options given for editing your photos. While not exactly photoshop it's ideal for those who are somewhat familiar with photo editing but not exactly pro about it.

Cons

Using the text feature is buggy and impossible to use many times. So I go online and use another photo editor for this purpose.

Thank you for the feedback, it is very important for us. I am glad to know you like InPixio Photo Studio. I will send your feedback regarding 'Add text' feature to the developer team. I want to assure you that our developer team constantly works on the improvement for InPixio Photo Studio.

Easy picture editing.

I like the programs and use at least one every day.

Pros

You can see the editing as you do it, still learning but all programs work together easy

Cons

Sometimes you just want a quick crop and one touch enhancing, for quick editing, sorry but like on iPhone, One button fix.

Photographers’ Best Friend

The overall experience with inPixio Photo Studio has been a Godsend for me. It is user-friendly, intuitive and makes my photos look like a pro’s shots. I am SO happy to have a program suite where I can do the editing on my PC without a computer science degree!!

Pros

I truly enjoy this software. I have been using my iPhone/Pads to edit photos since PC compatible photo editing and enhancement software is both terribly expensive and has a steep learning curve. inPixio Photo Studio has changed all of that! It is intuitive and accurate while remaining a powerful tool for those who want their photos to look their best and to create new appearances with any photo. Personally, I give it an A+ !! ~Rev. Cal Kemper

Cons

I just want more of inPixio’s programs as I am able to get them. This suite of programs is awesome. “More” is tough on a minister’s salary, but I’m saving up for MORE!! No complaints.

Clever photo processing product.

I have had more success with my efforts than failures. There are a lot of tutorials to help you if you get stuck with a given process.

Pros

When retouching photos I have a large pallet from which to choose. This software let's you see the results, full size, as you make changes. Also, you can easily save the original without fear of overwriting your file. The erase and clone features work very well.

Cons

My biggest problem has been learning the program, it is not as easy as some of the ads portray. Many of the clone, cut, or erase features require many more steps than appear to be displayed in the advertisement. And if you want it to function as a full editor, it does not come with all the bells and whistles, those are separate programs, albeit they do become part of the total photo suite and are readily accessible.

Pros - Ease of use; intuitive design; sheer amount of options and tools

Very easy to ues - in no time!

Very pleased with it. It is much easier to use than the program I used to use, which is no longer supported by the manufacurer.

Pros

Ease of use, without a steep learning curve, and very powerful and quick. The integration with other Inpixio modules like the Remove, Cut -out and Maximiser programs was very useful in restoring scans of old photos (except for the annoying habit of perpetually extending file name suffixes) and although the presets can be useful, it is also easy to use the slider adjustments, and to compare the adjustments with the original.

Cons

It's habit of adding .inpixio. to the filename of the processed file, and ony seems to save in jpg format.
