greyscale, rgb, cmyk and lab(!) layers simultaneously in the same layer stack. That means: you may freely combine monochrome.
each layer can be set to its own image mode in the same document! Read the previous line again, and understand its implications. I am not impressed easily.Īnd you know what: biggest (pleasant) surprise! The image editing tools are, for the most part, on par with Photoshop, and in a number of very crucial areas, actually outperform Photoshop by a fair margin - yes, you read that right.
#PHOTOLINE PH WEBSITE SOFTWARE#
This coming from someone who has been an Adobe Certified Expert, and is an Adobe software instructor teaching image editing professionals these last 12 years. I haven't touched Photoshop in two months, or so: I now do my main jobs in Photoline. Honestly, I do not know - I only know Photoline has opened up a new approach of image editing for me. Thoughts running through my mind: How could I have missed this gem? It's been on the market for a very long time Why does almost no-one mention - and is unaware of - Photoline? Why is the website so excruciatingly unprofessional looking? I was gobsmacked the first time I loaded it up. But I thought, "What the heck, I've tried everything by now, let's at least give it a quick look." Your first reaction equalled mine: "This cannot be any good, it looks rubbish", and I almost closed the browser window. First thought: absolutely dismal website, horrible campy looking examples, tutorials with neon disco effects. Had never heard of it, and just pure chance landed me on their web pages. Over the years I tried all potential alternatives, free, commercial, open source, and what not, and quickly realized nothing came close to replacing my 'beloved' Photoshop.Įnter Photoline. I grew tired of Adobe's strategy for Photoshop: instead of improving the core image editing functionality, they only seem to be interested in bolting on more fluff to justify the high upkeep.
#PHOTOLINE PH WEBSITE PROFESSIONAL#
In the last two years I'd been on the lookout for a true Photoshop alternative in regards to professional image editing. Up to that point I had never heard of it before - and I've worked with just about every image editor that exist(s)/(ed) on multiple platforms, starting with Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. Photoshop has been my weapon of choice as a professional user since v4, and three months ago I stumbled upon Photoline while browsing. Ordinarily I would never sign up for a forum merely to respond to a post, but this is just asking for a rebuttal :-) I've never heard it mentioned before either and I'm sure it would have been "discovered" had it been very useful. I may be wrong but that's what I saw by having a quick look at the website.
Most of its functions seem to be photo-organisation an album creation, the processing part being very much secondary. It looks like a very basic "photo tweaker" rather than an image processing suite.
