“Complete photo editing and management package”

Zoner Photo Studio includes all the tools you need to make the most of your digital photo collection.

This comprehensive suite covers every necessary step in photo managing, from extracting pictures from your digital camera to sharing them online. You can view the whole photo directory in thumbnails and double-click on any of them when you want to see if in full screen. Plus, if any of your photos needs optimization, you can also use Zoner for that, as it features tools to balance color, correct gamma values, resize images or even remove that undesirable red-eye effect.

Besides acquiring and optimizing, what I liked most about Zoner Photo Studio was the wide variety of publishing options the program includes for photos. From using your favorite shot as a desktop wallpaper to creating a DVD slideshow to enjoy your pics on TV, there are a bunch of really interesting possibilities, such as creating a web gallery, a customized calendar, a panoramic photo or even a 3D image, to name a few.

To be honest, the only drawback to Zoner Photo Studio is its clunky interface, although fortunately it can somewhat be fixed with skins. The real problem is that there are so many windows, sub-windows, panels and menus (especially when creating photo albums) that it feels confusing and overwhelming, to say the least.

Zoner Photo Studio gives you everything you need to view, optimize, share and enjoy your digital photos.
