I have used many different photo programs over the years and as a web designer (another hat I wear) manipulating images is very important to me. Adobe’s Photoshop is widely regarded as the “king” of all digital imaging programs.

I believe that accolade is totally justified, but Photoshop comes with a very hefty price tag. A price tag I’m not prepared to pay.

My personal choice of software is Serif’s PhotoPlus. A brilliant product at a very affordable price.

PhotoPlus X3 Digital Studio

Only launched last week, Serif’s latest version, PhotoPlus X3 Digital Studio, is packed with impressive features.

Whether you’re quickly resizing holiday snaps, removing flaws from portraits, adjusting exposure and colour levels, restoring old images, importing Photoshop® documents, layering and masking professional artwork, or transforming photos with unique effects and artistic styles, this program has everything you need to achieve the highest quality results – fast.

PhotoPlus X3 Digital Studio

Key PhotoPlus X3 Digital Studio benefits include:

This product really is a serious alternative to Photoshop and at only £59.99 (approximately USD $92.50) it is a fraction of the price, as Adobe’s product is currently around £450.00 (approximately USD $699.00)!
