Free image and photo editor for Windows.
PhotoPad is an image and photo editor that can apply a number of effects and modifications to many types of image formats including some RAW images produced by digital SLR and mirrorless cameras like Canon and Nikon.
The application's user interface is generally what you would expect for such a package and has a few standard tools for modifying and beautifying images you open with it. Whether it's RAW, PNG, JPG, DNG or others, it's pretty easy.
Basic editing made easy
Using the program can be a quick way to apply certain transformations to images such as cropping, rotating, resizing and creating collages.
More advanced features also come with PhotoPad like removing red-eye and skin blemishes, applying different levels of brightness and contrast, changing the hue and saturation and several other adjustments. Adding blur, sharpening and changing the color to sepia is a breeze.
In addition to fine-tuning photos with PhotoPad, it also includes several different presets, filters and effects that can radically change the style of the picture. Of course, photo collages are also something that this program is capable of creating.
Social networking tools are also present in this image editing program, so uploading the images to Facebook or Flickr is already built-in.
