I’ve also given my thoughts on pros and cons for each.

Average rating – Overall rating (one for beginners, one for intermediate) as an average of the items above.

Extras – What extra special things can it do like HDR, pano, layer images, combine images, texture overlays, add text, etc?.

Help – Are there good tutorials or help/support for the program? How helpful are they? Is there a support forum or Facebook group?.

Browser – Is there a way to view images and sort, tag, catalog, flag and rate them? Can you browse images?.

Import & Export Options – How easy is it to export (save) images? Especially for sharing, social media, email, resizing? How is data on RAW files saved?.

Presets – Does it have presets? How many come with it? What is the quality like? Are they customizable? Are there others available for free or purchase?.

Layers – Does it handle layers? How easy/hard is it to understand?.

RAW – How good is the RAW processor? Ease of use, features? Image quality?.

Ease of use out of the box – How easy is it to get started? Interface ease of use and functionality.

I have used the following as my questions and rating criteria: Having over 20+ years of using Photoshop, Lightroom and various pieces of other photo editing software – I figured if I can’t figure it out easily (and need to watch 4-10 hours of video tutorials just to get it), what chance do you have? How I Tested I wanted to see how intuitive each program was when I opened it. I’ve approached this software review from the perspective of a total beginner. I will give you some of my thoughts and initial impressions of each program as well as rate them in eight different areas.

Just to give you a reminder of how I’ve done these reviews.
