Powerful and complete package of tools for digital photographers
Armed with a digital camera you can quickly and easily generate images that can be used for a variety of purposes. Some photographs are simply for viewing on your computer but others may be worth printing out. You may take some photos for use on a web site and you may want to share your favourite images by creating a slideshow.
It is also likely that some of your images will need editing to some extent - be it to fix problems with lighting or simply to try out something creative. Installing software that caters for each of these image related tasks could mean installing a large number of programs, but it can also be taken care of with MAGIX Photo Premium 9, which a comprehensive suite of photo editing tools.
This impressive graphics suite includes MAGIX Xtreme Photo & Graphics Designer 5 and MAGIX PhotoStory on CD & DVD 9 deluxe. When it comes to image editing you have the option of using automated or manual processes to optimise the appearance of your images, and have access to more than 50 special effects and advanced features such as intelligent scaling.
Reallusion FaceFilter Studio 2 SE can be used to optimise portraits, and there's plenty of fun to be had using liquid colour to create caricatures. Unwanted objects can be removed from photos with the automated clone tool and a series of images can be quickly converted into a panorama or montage.
But it doesn't end there. MAGIX Photo Premium 9 can also be used to design web sites and page components including buttons, icon and Flash animations. This is a complete and well-rounded graphics package that should cater for all your image editing and creative needs.
