Those described in this article are some special programs that have two basic features: they are free and are easy to use . You can certainly improve photos with the popular and professional Photoshop, which is not free at all and is also not easy for everyone.
In this case, however, it is software that works a bit like mobile apps, semi-automatically thanks to intelligent algorithms that are able to process a photo by correcting colors and outlines, improving brightness and correcting any defects.
Leaving aside the free graphics programs similar to Photoshop, we see, for those who need an easy and immediate tool that does not waste time and still offers very appreciable results, the programs to improve the photos, for PC, taken with the camera or smartphone.
1) Polar Photo Editor is a program, which I have already talked about, that can be used as a Windows 10 application (not free) or within the Chrome browser (free)
The purpose of the application is to improve the quality of the photos and all the work is based on adjustments which, even if to be personalized, work automatically.
You can therefore correct any defect in dark or too bright images, optimize blurry photos and make them even more beautiful for printing.
The free version should suffice for most needs.
2) Pixlr is a web application specialized on filters to make the most beautiful photos and create special atmospheres of great quality.
The interface is really simple to use, with quick buttons that automatically apply the various effects.
3) Magix Photo Designer is an excellent free downloadable program that offers numerous filters and adjustments to improve photos in a simple way, without requiring special graphics skills.
It is therefore possible to remove objects from an image, lighten some parts of a photo, join photos to make a panorama, correct imperfections and defects.
To keep the program and continue using it for free, it is only necessary, after 7 days, to register on the site with an email address and an account.
4) Enhance Pho.to is not a program but a website where you can upload the photo and then see it processed in preview and re-download it optimized.
You can easily correct low brightness, dim colors, outlines and sharpness, saturation and even red-eye effect.
5) Google's Picasa cannot fail to be included in this list even if Google no longer develops it and has withdrawn it.
However, it can still be downloaded from Softpedia in its latest released version because it is still worth the effort.
Picasa, in addition to being an exceptional photo manager, is also a good program for improving them with automatic features that still work very well and which, above all, are very easy to find and use.
6) Windows Live Photos is undergoing the same fate as Picasa, but like the Google program, although it will no longer be renewed by Microsoft, it still remains an excellent tool for organizing photos and for improving them thanks to the integrated filters and correction tools for to give quality to any image that appears to be dull or bad.
7) Citrify is a web tool to correct selfies and, therefore, improve the skin in photos by removing imperfections, lines, pimples and making themselves more beautiful.
As the graphics for the photos of the great actors in magazines and advertisements do, so it can be done without difficulty also for our photographs.
8) Fotor is a very powerful and easy-to-use free program that was created as a web app that can also be downloaded to a Windows PC.
It includes a whole host of tools for editing photos and improving image quality.
The Photo Enhancement feature allows you to enhance photos intelligently, differently depending on the perceived quality and the conditions in which they were taken.
Finally, a final mention for a type of program such as Smilla Enlarger that works to enlarge photos and images, increase size and resolution while losing the minimum of quality.
