Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Polarr? Polarr is not a Photoshop, so you may be rather disappointed with what Polarr has to offer if you have any experience with the creative suite. Don't expect too many tricks and secrets from Polarr, because it's simplistic. Polarr is all right if you look past the basic characteristics and use what you are given. You'll probably be disappointed if you expect something, and I mean anything, above and above. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Polarr: Polarr is quite the opposite, and extremely intuitive with several instruments to make changes, retouch, add effects, position masks, remove spots, rotate, turn, change, and customise each picture.

Polarr, for the basic features, is a free application. Although there are additional options you can purchase, the base set of features is fine for someone looking to get into photo editing. The app has a great set of tutorials that make learning the software a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Polarr? Polarr is not Photoshop, so if you have some experience with Creative Suite, you might find yourself quite disappointed with what Polarr has to offer. Don't expect too many tricks and secrets to Polarr, it's simple because it was designed to be simple. If you can look past the base features and make use of what you're given, Polarr is fine. If you expect anything, and I mean anything, above and beyond, you'll likely be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Polarr: Polarr is not meant to be a substitute for Photoshop. If you download this software assuming that you can replace your Creative Suite license, you will be disappointed. Treat this as a learning tool or for a software solution that you can offer to your team who don't do much photo editing. If you understand the limitations and can live with the end product, Polarr might just be the software for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Polarr solving and how is that benefiting you? I have given certain members of my team Polarr instead of purchasing another CS license for someone who would use Photoshop maybe once or twice a month. Polarr allows your team to edit images when necessary and keeps your budget a little cleaner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
