Could it fit your work?

A business owner correcting their own photographs and preparing images for a website or publication.

What can you do with it?

  • Retouch photographs
  • Combine images into compositions
  • Create graphic elements
  • Manage colour
  • Extend image processing with scripts

Check this before you choose

  • Check whether file formats and handoff requirements match your clients' or printer's design tools.
  • Agree on dimensions, colour profile and output format before processing a large image collection.

Try this practical task

Take a photograph you own, improve its crop and colour, then prepare a website version. Compare the result at full size and as a small card image, while retaining an editable original for later changes.

A suggested task for you to try; not a Perkufo hands-on test report.
