Fotor is an easy-to-use tool for optimising your digital images (and that includes many RAW formats, as well as the usual JPEGs, PNGs and so on).

Mac

If a picture has lighting issues, for instance, you don't have to start playing around with brightness, contrast, colours or anything else. Just choose the conditions which applied when the photo was taken - 'Backlit', 'Cloudy', 'Sunset' and so on - and the program will automatically optimise the image for you.

If the lighting is fine, but you'd just like it to look a little more interesting, then Fotor has 60+ colour and lighting effects which could help. Again, it's all very easy. Choose a category from the list ('Classic', 'Lomo', B&W', 'Vignette', 'Art'), and thumbnails will show you how the current picture will look for every available effect. And if you see something you like, just click it for a closer look.

History[edit]

Founded in 2012,[7] Fotor Photo Editor can be used online[8] or downloaded as a free mobile and computer application[9] compatible with Windows, Android, and Apple.[10] It is used to adjust and alter images, both photographic and non-photographic.[11][12][13] As of 2014, the apps were supported in fourteen languages.[14]

In addition to basic photo editing tools such as cropping,[15] red eye removal,[16][17] the use of stickers and overlays,[18] photo deblurring,[19][20] and aperture addition.[17] Fotor can also be used for graphic design and collage making.[16] Though the initial app is free, some options are only available through an in-app purchase,[17] or via the Fotor Pro version.[8] Fotor also has a module dedicated to making collages and smart templates with support for image layers.[21][22]

In 2016, Fotor updated its HDR curves adjustment to its platform.[17]

In the late 2017, Fotor added a custom aspect ratio option to its collage function and altered its tilt-shift algorithm.[23]
