KA Khawaja A. Senior Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/26/2021 "Good Editor which needs improvement" 3/5 What do you like best about PhotoPad? I like the big icons approach in PhotoPad. We have icons in the top bar much different than Adobe and other similar editors which gives a breath of fresh air. The retouch features are really nice and easy to use. Each Icon has its name next to it so any layman can also use it easily. The AutoFix feature also helps in fixing the issues easily so we can do all sort of stuff with just few clicks and thats it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PhotoPad? I think the UI of the overall software needs to be improved considerably. The layouts seem to be fine with big icons but the representation of it can be improved. The color quality and exposure need to be adjusted a bit to make it more pleasing to the eye. The Wand auto-select feature needs a lot of improvement, It does not select even simple objects, let alone some complex ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PhotoPad solving and how is that benefiting you? I have started recommending this to my clients just because it is so simple to use and each feature has a name next to it. Users can easily navigate to anything that is needed. Free version does most of the work hence we do not need to buy the paid version mostly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
