There are plenty of parameters within the editors to tweak filters, and a configurable masking option so you can choose which parts of your image to apply each filter/texture to. Especially like that you can layer filter effects plus import your own images as textures, which means the end results are virtually unlimited. Loving this app, very flexible and customizable. add comprehensive watermarking tools and PhotoStyler has the potential to be the ultimate styler app I see some of these issues, interestingly, are addressed in the Neatberry online FAQ my view is if the issue has to be addressed in an FAQ, it needs to be changed in the app as a default behaviour, generally, or that function revisited and revised to make it more intuitive at version 6, I am somewhat surprised these elements still exist you could avoid much of this by making the first Preset as 'none' or something suitable right now, the app is a bit haphazard in its design layout, with odd window behaviours and some aspects not terribly intuitive if you have a workspace open and want to see Presets, you have to use a keyboard shortcut or choose a menu option once the Presets screen opens, there is no (obvious) way to get back to the other screen some windows do not focus properly oddly, the About window shows up behind the Library I am not a programmer, but that surely is not how something like that should work look at apps such as opens with a default set of toolbars and palettes (floating mind you, but still visible!), that are easily customisable, but right from the get-go you have access to the core functions of the app that's the paradigm folks are used to, IMHO when viewing the Library, it is not clear how to apply the effects for example, when applying a frame design, you'd think double-clicking would add the texture, wood let's say, but it does not you have to drag the texture on to the palette, but holy cow, the Library is positioned over top of that filter dialog, so you have to move it I am working on a MacBook Pro, so clearly the screen real estate is a factor, but I don't like that design make the toolbars/palettes/libraries/presets/whatever all snap as docked screens on the side or bottom by default, resizing the centre image workspace, so that then they can be undocked as a user chooses, so as to clearly present to the user the options available this initial launch behaviour can be modified in Preferences, to open a new blank project by default and show the Library to me, this should be the default behaviour, but obviously the developers do not, so fine, but at least make it clear, perhaps with a button at the top, how to open the plain photo in a workspace if you close that window and open a subsequent image, it opens to an editing space this is my expected behaviour however, opens half-way off the screen! need to reposition window when app first launches and you choose an image, it opens image with the presets selector, with no obvious way to just get to the plain image and then work with it Some observations (if developers read these things): Just one click to apply auto-levels or auto-contrast, unsharp mask and noise reduction.Choose a part of the image to apply the filter to: the new masking tool allows you to adjust the filter area and power with great accuracy.Framing tools are simple yet powerful: you can apply color, textured, glass, matte and vignette.Tens of pre-built presets give you a good starting point and endless photo styling possibilities.
