Free Photo Editing Software Programs

I am a huge fan of Photoshop CS5 but it is rather expensive as it costs around £300. Luckily for those of you whose finances don't stretch that far there are a whole host of free photo editing software programs out there on the World Wide Web. Today I'm going to introduce you to two programs that are totally free but also easy to use and give great results.

First up is Artweaver Free. Artweaver is a free program which should appeal to beginners and advanced users alike. It has an appearance that is very similar to Photoshop and it also has a lot of the same features including layers, brushes and filters. You can even save your steps and play them back a la Photoshop actions. This program also supports Photoshop PSD files and has the ability files may be edited by more than one person via its group editing function.




Artweaver is available online on the Artweaver website. The only negative is that it is only available for Windows users.

Next up is ArcSoft's photo retouching program Perfect 365. This program is basically airbrushing for portrait photos. You can choose from 21 different looks for your portrait and I've included some screen shots below so you can get an idea of the results. This program is totally free and is available for Windows, Mac and even IPhone.






Perfect 365 is available for download on the ArcSoft website.

I hope you'll find this information helpful and I'd love to know what you thought of them in the comments section.
