Excellent Image Software...PT Photo Editor Pro 3.7....I LIKE IT

I downloaded this the 4th and just now opened it because I wanted to edit a couple of pics
now it want an activation code??

Thank you for sharing. I have send tons of pictures with Binfer several times. It’s a nifty little tool. A must have photo sharing software

ive just installed the program, and tried it out. seems straight forward and the interface is user friendly. its my first program I downloaded from this site! thx guys.

I purchased the upgrade, but there's no download link or any way to put the new license in the registration box. Do I need to uninstall this giveaway version and install the upgrade from the Photo-toolbox website? Thanks. Looks like a product worth keeping and using.

Looks good easy setup. No registration for this giveaway. Neat.

PT Photo Editor is Outstanding! A Great Alternative to Photoshop Elements.

I first acquired PT version 2 from GOATD. I liked PT so much that I purchased version 3.

PT is packed with a lot of great features. It is an easy-to-learn, intuitive software. It is highly stable. No bugs encountered. PT v3 works great on W7 and W10.

Try PT and you will see why I give it a rating of 5 out of 5 Stars!

Does absolutely everything most of us would need on a daily basis in an easy and intuitive way. Much more there, if you look for it, too! A keeper. Thanks!

Change opening screen so it does not open in FULL screen mode. I hate that I want only a reasonable screen window that I then can adjust if I want.

I had version Pro 3.2 from the April giveaway and this installed and updated that without issue. I have not had the time nor occasion to work with it so cannot comment beyond that other than to say thank you to the developer and the GOTD team.

Genuinely excellent photo-editor, 16-bit as well to boot, but with two notable gaps: no layers (and so no non-destructive editing), and no plugin support. That said, in a way, as a non-complex but very capable editor, it works very well - no huge piles of layers to get lost in, no exploding plugins, just gets the job done quickly and easily when that's what you want to do.

If you want those extra gaps plugged (sic), then a really really really excellent photo editor is Photoline. Not free, but very affordable, and in many ways it even beats PS.

There's a professionalism about this (currently) small-ish developer that many another should emulate. It begins with the way in which this GOTD has been handled -- instant download, automatic registration, no email address harvesting: others, take note -- and runs all the way through not only the software itself but the commitment shown to those who're actually using it:

Time has not been sufficiently on my side today to allow more than a quick kick-about with Photo Editor Pro 3.7 but -- and I'm a commercial user of high-end Adobe products -- what I've experienced so far with the program has been most satisfying: a pleasing GUI (recognizable by anyone with LightRoom) geared to well-nigh intuitive usage and coupled to a range of features / abilities that are anything but bargain-basement.

One of the best giveaways GOTD has run in recent times, this is certainly one to be added to any existing arsenal of post-processing tools, and is good enough to be a stand-alone for those who don't want to clutter their hard drives with numerous photo editors and are merely looking for something that doesn't confuse ambition with bloat and manages to do more, and do it well, than the best of freeware offerings. Highly recommended on all counts.

How does this compare to Adobe PhotoShop?

Don't see (and don't want) auto update to run. Is there a setting to disable such a function (something I always do because of the licensing terms at GAOD)?

I bought this program a year ago, and highly recommend it. I also use other high end programs for larger projects, but usually do my first tweaks with PT. However, I'm an editing software junkie, knowing that PT does 90% of what almost anyone would ever need.

Is this version cannot select watermark mode as such function is shown in the publisher's website for pro version?

The license of the paid version is generous as it allow the owner to install and register PT Photo Editor on several computers as long as they all belong to the owner.

Tried to download but couldn't get the email link. After 4 attempts, am going to give up! Shame,I was looking forwards to trying the program.

Does PT Photo Editor work with 32-bit color?

can it make these corrections easily ????

Nice app, but no layers in an image editor with this level of development is surprising, & if I had to pay for it, a deal breaker. I say: "this level of development", because my suggestions are based on what the software's capable of rather than its reasonable selling price. Having come this far with the app, I'm assuming [& so obviously could be wrong] that the dev, Casper Lee, wants to go farther. I Don't mean to sound overly critical.

Having the Levels adjustments is nice, but I'd humbly suggest the devs include the option to adjust the individual RGB levels separately [the same way PT Photo Editor Pro has this option with Curves] -- with that added the majority of photo tint/cast & exposure fixes could be handled using just Levels. Yes, you can manage the same sort of thing using Curves, but IMHO using Curves can be a bit daunting for lots of people, where using Levels is much simpler.

*Maybe* less important, I'd also humbly suggest the devs document the file formats used & supported. What I'd expect from this level of image editor would be a proprietary format that saves everything the way you had it, e.g. the same history etc.

Documented support for other, related software would also be nice, & IMHO go a long way towards selling the software to many people already doing image editing in other apps. If someone's using one of the several RAW image cataloging & adjustment apps like Lightroom, Aftershot, DxO Optics etc., they'd probably like to know how easy [or hard] it was to send an image to PT Photo Editor. If someone's got a plug-in [or set of plug-ins] they always use, being able to use those in PT Photo Editor would be important.

At any rate, as I started, PT Photo Editor is a nice app. It's not going to cause any mid-level to advanced P/Shop or GIMP users to switch, but it might put a dent into PaintShop Pro & P/Shop Elements sales, with both selling in the $30-$40 range on sale.

Wow....This looks AWESOME! TYVM GAOTD. I TOO use Lightroom and PE and I think this one will be great for quick edits.......Cant wait to try it.....

Again, Thanks

What do i wrong? I load a pic, crop it, save it as.... tiff. The result is a horizontally stretched pic. I noticed i cannot find the button to apply the crop after lining out the crop, normally "Enter". I marked and unmarked the option "Keep aspect ratio". I feel so stupid ;-)

It's all great for adjusting all those parameters globally or on the selected region, but what if i want to move a part of the image, or copy a region from another image and paste it.

Doesn't seem to be quite what it claims.
If it is the Pro edition why can't I find the Watermark module and the ability to add frames to my pictures??

Indeed looks as a fine GOTD, installed and work well on my 7SP1.
Regarding the destructive editing, I don't get it. When I do any photos tweaks I always do "Save As" so the original is still there. Am I missing something that you are concerned about?

at last somebody who just gives a program away without giving us the run round and around and round. email addresses phone numbers (yesterday) keys that never arrive. what a pleasure. click and install no messing about no corrupt files no yes were giving it away but no were not. Thanks guys looks to be a very useful program and i'm keeping it. Thanks once again 5*

Just wondering if using the discount above means upgrading to/purchasing the latest 4.3 version. Love the software. Haven't been able to find any comparisons of versions 3.7 and 4.3. Do you have a link for that? Thanks.

installed perfect ,but can't find if i got the license free by GAOTD today,where should i look to ? thanks.

Very nice and quick! Thankyou!!

As a subscriber to both PS and LR CC I'm not a candidate for this program, but I tried it and to my surprise, it performs quite well. It's not a dupe of either entirely but does so mich of what LR does and for a reasonable cost too, that it's gotta be a keeper for the vast majority of those who can't justify the brutal cost of Adobe products. I've used competitors of more cost finding them ot be of less quality too.

Very easy to install in W10. I've used many editors over the years and and comparing ease of use and it's small file size, PT Photo is a very powerful editor ... a must have program in your toolbox. My only critique is not being able to add text. I believe this is now available in PT Photo V4.

Downloaded and installed when I opened it in trying to activate keeps asking to retry. No luck activating.

Superb gaotd which can be used as cheap alternative to PS.
For those who'll miss it, I recommend this free software which supports very advanced features:

http://asia.olympus-imaging.com/product/software/olympus_viewer3/feature3.html

This program deserves all these positive comments. This is a powerful and feature-rich photo editor, activation is super-clean, and it's tiny! Gems like this are why I check GOTD every day.

easiest installer seen would like to see this for all gotd products.
regional application of effects. keeper

Installed great, Well done to Photo toolbox for their comments and their promise of help and support, nice to see a company that stands by their software. I have a few photo editors but most of them are so complicated, with this editor it is so nice to be able to see changes as I go. many thanks to GAOTD for this super giveaway.

very easy to install i am on windows 10 and loving it lol

program works right out of the box which is nice no silly info needed

i had a photo from a trip to London with my mother and it shows a BUS and Phone BOX and a underground sign all with a lot of red and i wanted to make the photo black and white except the red and have been having no luck until today `whoop whoop` all done and printed and of to my mum in the post today

so many thanks this is a big KEEP for me

nigel

easy and quick install on Win 8.1 .... love this program!

I agree, so much like Lightroom... is this Christmas? (feels like it!) ... thank u!!!

I don't keep many programs but this is a beauty that I can highly recommend.
Couldn't agree more with Audiomonk's comparison to Lightroom and I can see myself using the PT program more often than Adobe's offering.

Works very well with great results!

OMG, this is going to get Adobe so angry, it looks and feels so much like Lightroom it's crazy. Not that it's a bad thing particularly, in fact for the price, people might well want to give this a go. It misses a few lightroom features, but nothing major.

Some things actually work better than Lightroom, but I miss holding alt down to adjust the white and black levels to see their max values.

Opinion, as long as Adobe don't sue for look and feel, grab this great piece of software for free, and if you miss getting it for free, pay the small amount for the pro version.

Installed without the slightest problem or messing around.

The program itself is a really decent photo editor which is very easy to use.
It can import a good range of image types including RAW, when the sliders are moved the results appear immediately in the preview window.
The lens correction tool offers quite a number of controls and is overlaid with a grid pattern.

The program I normally use in photo editing is very, very old but I am used to it. Today's download could easily become my photo editor of choice, easy-to-use, fast in showing the preview plus an undo function.

Most definitely a keeper.
