Picture Man

The trend of having one’s own personal web page or a company website had originated long ago that had introduced new career opportunities to web designers and computer artists who visualized and conceptualized the websites and designed them with vibrant imagery. These images were extracted from the internet portals and suitably modified as per requirement to fit in that made image enhancers and photo editing tools a big hit all over. Since then, there has been a sharp rise in people investing in a good photo manager having all the tools for editing, coloring, modification and even morphing techniques that facilitate creation of great looking websites. Another addition in the long list is Picture Man 5.0.2 that contains suitable tools to enhance the images and necessary processing.

Picture Man 5.0.2 opens with a neatly arranged interface with the chief options placed at the top and left panel and the main screen displaying the picture that can be suitably edited and modified. The program has a good collection of special effects and support of about 48 color resolutions with state of the art multi-layering and scripting and automation. The program also includes artistic filters in 2D and 3D deformations and other dynamic effects that enhance the picture quality. Moreover, it also includes powerful painting tools providing diverse set of brush techniques for oil painting, hand drawing and graphic artistry along with correction tools like automatic red eye correction, sigma filter and True Despeckle that help in improvising the images. The animated tutorials and effects wizard enable the user to contain grid and guides that can augment the use of the program.
