Turbo Photo 4.0

Turbo Photo is an easy-to-use, powerful, image-editing and image-processing program designed for digital-camera owners. It offers professional image-enhancement options without requiring you to have any technical knowledge of digital imaging. The program starts with a wizard dialog that asks, "What is wrong with your picture?" It then asks you to choose the option from an example dialog. It takes you step by step through correcting or enhancing your image while constantly offering you previews of possible options, as well as the original for comparison. You simply select which suggested version of the image looks best or adjust the settings to further improve it.

Version 4.0 adds support to JPEG high quality color( YUV 1:1:1 ) saving; adds a correct perspective distortion function in the editor; adds the management frames feature in the editor; adds support for effects plug-ins, adds two effects in the setup package. (sci-fi and blocks), and adds Lossless rotate for JPEG files in album.

Though it lacks a comprehensive set of editing tools, Turbo Photo's unique approach makes it a strong contender for novices. Although you can manually manipulate sharpness, color, exposure, red-eye, and pixels, many folks will opt for the user-friendly wizard. Once you import a photo, the application brings up a dialog box asking which aspect of your image's quality dissatisfies you. You then simply select the problem area, and Turbo Photo automatically corrects the image in three ways, letting you choose which one you like the best. We appreciate the ability to autocorrect photos in batch mode, handy when working with a large number of problem pictures. Aside from its main function, the program offers basic illustration tools and lets you choose from a variety of picture frames. Professional or experienced photographers likely will demand more than Turbo Photo can offer, but casual shooters will appreciate its hassle-free operation.
