### "Want to Save Dark Photos??" — 5.0/5

> **M. Jo Wendorff** | *3 November 2021* | Public Safety | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I absolutely love this program. It has saved me many hours of set up \&amp; retaking photos.  I am NOT a pro.  I am volunteered (or volunteer) to do photos of projects for groups.   My camera  did not  respond, many pictures were very dark \&amp; I was physically sick.    I  searched the net, found PhotoWorks,  and did a few tests with  some of the darkest pictures.   I honestly could not believe the results\!  I bought the program the same day ( early Christmas present to me)\!\!   i mam thrilled\!   have used PhotoWorks more time than i thought i would, always wit6h great results.
> 
> **Cons**: Haven't found any negatives yet\!  add on   I wish the  disc  of the program would have cost a bit less. I bought it (I  did not want to take any chances on losing  PhotoWorks)
> 
> Love the ease of Photoworks.   The Learning curve is great.   Staff offers help with any questions when purchasing.    I really enjoy moving the bars (sharpness,  etc. ) \&amp; seeing  immediate changes on  the photo\!

### "Software quality and performance" — 5.0/5

> **Phillip** | *14 July 2022* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Integrated most useful and common features for photo editing work.  These features are powerful enough to sastify your photo editing results.
> 
> **Cons**: This software is for editing with single layer photo.  For multiple-layer graphic editing and generating work,  more powerful software like Photoshop would be needed.
> 
> For most common graphic and photo editing, this software is sufficient and powerful enough to sastify my works for personal or business purposes.

### "Good" — 4.0/5

> **Charlene** | *3 September 2021* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the features. Being able to crop and edit the pics and changing the background
> 
> **Cons**: Not knowing how to use all the buttons, some features does not do anything so I’m not sure if I do something wrong

### "PhotoWorks - my thoughts" — 4.0/5

> **Gerry** | *14 May 2021* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I got Photoworks very recently and have used it quite a bit, since I had some important face swapping  photo work I needed to do. Photoworks is very user friendly and easy to figure out and the videos are extremely helpful.&#10;&#10;I also have had GIMP a long time, which is a very complex graphics program. It's much more difficult to do the work on GIMP. I'm now using both programs together on my pics. &#10;&#10;GIMP can pretty much do anything, but it's very difficult to learn and I must say there are certain things on PhotoWorks that are incredible time savers that would take forever on GIMP like the photo touch up tools that can zero in on the face or the complete photo. You can very quickly try about 20 variations until you find the best one.&#10;&#10;If you're looking for a program that's easy to learn and also powerful in certain features, PhotoWorks may be the best choice.
> 
> **Cons**: Can't save the workspace to continue on another day. No manual, only tutorials
> 
> Very user friendly, easy to learn, great tools and time savers

### "Photoworks Is a Great Alternative to Photoshop for Basic Image Editing" — 4.0/5

> **Reginald** | *15 July 2022* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's user friendly, easier to learn than other photo editing software, and it's priced just right.
> 
> **Cons**: I do have Photoshop and it has a multitude of plug-in assets, actions, templates, filters, fonts, and more that Photoworks doesn't have at this moment.
> 
> I love using this product because I get great results very fast. I've never had an issue with the software such as glitches, freezing, erratic results, etc. There are tutorials on how to use the software but it is so intuitive that instructions really aren't needed to get the gist of a menu option upon first use.
