Recommendations to others considering PicMonkey:
I think it's a great tool that can be more cost-effective than other photo-editing programs. The myriad of features is a little overkill in my opinion, since professionals likely would not be using those to edit photos professionally. As for editing photos for leisure, this can be a fantastic tool if one wanted to dive into the site and see what fun features are available to them.
My recommendation would be to search through other well-established photo-editing programs before committing to PicMonkey, unless PicMonkey is more cost-effective than competitors. Alternatively, if you're looking for a program to do a lot of the editing for you so you can just select an already-existing filter to apply to a photo, this could be a great option also. Lastly, if you are looking for a program to edit photos for fun and not necessarily professionally, this could be suitable also.
I like how many features there are in PicMonkey, specifically the color-altering options. The options are almost endless using PicMonkey - it seems like there is an option for virtually any way you'd want to edit a photo. I also think the Collages feature is quite handy since collages can be challenging to create without a photo-editing program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is PicMonkey solving and how is that benefiting you?
Editing photos is part of our daily protocol, so being able to adjust pictures constantly is necessary. Having a myriad of features available helps the team decide which edits would be best for the company photos or the client photos. Especially since more "fun" photos are allowed, we are able to use PicMonkey to easily find ways to adjust photos to make them unique and fresh for our content.
One benefit is that there are more Effects options than other photo-editing programs, so the heavy lifting has been done for us. The Effects have already been established, and we can just pick and choose which ones work and which ones don't. In other programs, you almost have to be a professional to figure out how to edit photos regarding their levels, curves, vibrance, etc. In PicMonkey, these options are already easily labeled and ready to be used and adjusted.
We are able to quickly edit photos for print and digital pieces, both photos that involve people and ones that don't (i.e. of landscape). I like that PicMonkey has options for almost any type of photo or way you'd want to edit a photo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
