Every time we need to change any aspect of a photo we need certain programs that help us to do the job since not all the image processing software can carry out all the applications we need for our final task. An image processing software is a program that allow us to change all the graphic aspects of any picture, image or photo. They are used in graphic design in order to change colours, shapes, bright and shadows over all kind of images, including adding and deleting, even blendering portions of other photos; but as we said before, these programs are not able to modify all the pictures since some of them are not as advanced as we require, so we need to buy or download an image processing software that could help us to carry out all the changes we must perform on a specific picture or for a specific line of work.

An image processing software is also capable of changing the shapes and colours of texts although the program doesn’t have that aim as a main target; they are used by editorials, magazines, graphic designers, computer analysts to perform many of their design activities. It is also very popular in the internet world since we can find many images on the net which were “changed” by theses programs with the aim of not being detected as a previous copy from another site. But in the graphic design universe we find many image processing programs one for each application; all versions of image processing software have several applications but sometimes each version has an specific aim, for example: some programs were designed to change the brightness of a picture and "colour temperature" (changes in tones whether images are taken indoors, outdoors, at daylight or during the night), some others to regulate the volume of shadows. We have programs which can change the position and perspective of the pictures and others that can add text to the images with very powerful results.

The most popular digital image processing software

We can find several programs related to image processing software, some of them are very advanced, meanwhile others are still trying to improve, among the first ones we find the Realviz Stitcher 4.0, this software is extremely expensive but capable of reproducing wonderful images making great panoramas of them. This is not an application we can find in other software; this program is capable of stitching multi-row images, it doesn’t mater if the pictures were taken with a digital camera or if it had been scanned before. You can see your pictures in a high resolution (360 x 180 degrees) and also counts with a particular system that allows us to add clickable hotspots on each image. The other popular image processing software is called Panorama Factory 3.3, it gives us the chance to combine a series of images into a selected panorama saving the results in several formats. The main advantage of this program concerns: simplicity for its use, high quality panorama stitching and an excellent image blending.

This program is one of the best image processing software in the market since it can work with 8 or 16 bits images, produces web pages, virtual tours and is capable of reading extensions such us JPG, TIF and other formats such us IVR and PTViewer. This software is also capable of creating wonderful panoramas from multiple images, its installation is simple and work with almost all types of Windows; and although is hard to believe, this software is not as expensive as many people think.

The image processing software also includes the photo editor programs, and among them we find the BW Styler: this image editor is capable of converting colour digital images into black and white; it allows us to imitate many black and white films, but apart from this, it also has many special effects that involves brightness and shadows, this software is available for only US$50 and have many advantages. This editor program gives a wide range of black and white effects, this is very important if we are trying to work with these types of images; is also very easy to use and to install and also works with all types of Windows. All these image processing software gives us the chance to play and work with images. Their use is very simple that’s why we don’t need any manual to work with them, some sites offers free downloads which make them very accessible at the same time. They are very practical to create and change all types of images not matter what kind of camera we used to take them.
