Arcsoft PhotoStudio is a freeware application that is designed to allow users quick access to multiple editing tools that can be used in order to process a photography or even create something from scratch. The base app provides a lot of tools that can be used in different situations but the flexibility of the program allows various plugins to be installed in order to provide even more functionality. Despite the fact that there are a series of simple tools that can be accessed in order to create minimal edits to a picture, there are also more advanced ones that can even be fine tuned.

The array of simple tools that can be used include the well-known red-eye removal tool, which proves extremely efficient as it can automatically detect and remove this unwanted effect. However, users can also opt to manually remove any artifacts of this kind. Spot healing brushes are available and they provide high quality end results. Other tools include an assortment of brushes and gradients that can be easily edited in order for everyone to find the perfect combination required for a photo.

More advanced tools include filters, each of them having more than three customizable options. These filters can be previewed in order for users to spend less time undoing each task they do. Special effects are also available and a lot of them can be downloaded and integrated with the app, for free. RAW images are not only importable and easy to convert, but users can also directly edit them in order to avoid losing quality from saving the picture in another format. 48-bit images can also be edited, even if they seem to be rare. However, users should know that these images are outputs of a scanning process and editing them will be made easy.
