Free photo editor with «CA in Instagram» effects

Today I want to talk about one of the programs to «take a nice photo», that is to say perfect effects 8, which will replace your Instagram on your computer (at least that part, which allows the effects to the photos).

Many users do not need a graphic editor with curves, levels and support for levels (although every second it has photoshop), therefore the use of a simple tool or any «online photoshop» could be enough.

The free perfect effects program allows the application of different effects (effects of effects), as well as the use of these effects in Adobe Photoshop, Elements, Lightroom and others.

Download, installation and management of perfect effects 8

Note: If you are not familiar with the PSD file format, I recommend you after downloading the program not to leave this page, but read the entire article to understand how to work with this program.

To download perfect effects, access the official page and press the download button. The installation is performed by pressing the «Next» button and the agreement of everything it offers: unnecessary additional programs are not installed. If the Photoshop program or other Adobe products are installed on your computer, you will be offered to install plug -in perfect effects.

The start of the program, click «Open» and specify the image of the image or simply insert the image into the perfect effects window. And now an important point, due to which beginner users can have problems with the modification of the photos.

After opening the file with the image, a window will be opened, where two options will be offered to work with the image:

• Edit a copy – Change the copy, will create a copy of the original photography for the modification. The options from the lower part of the window will be used for a copy.
• Original modification: Change the original. In this case, all changes will be saved in the file, which is modified.

Of course, the first option is better, but one thing must be taken into consideration: default setting, the specified file format is Photoshop: they are PSD files with levels. That is, after applying the desired effects and you will achieve the desired result, for this choice you will be able to save only in this format. This format is good for the next change, but it is not suitable for the publication of the result on Facebook or for sending by e-mail, because without programs, which work with this format, the file will not be opened. Conclusion: If you are not used to the PSD file and you need the image with the effects, to show someone, it is better to choose the JPEG file format in the field of file format.

Subsequently, the main window of the program with the photo chosen in the center will be open, many effects on the left side and the tools necessary to adjust each of these effects on the right side.

How to modify the photo and apply the effects in perfect effect

First of all, I mean, that the perfect effects are not a complete graphic editor, it is only to apply the effects.

All the effects that you will find in the right menu and the choice of one of the effects will open the preview of what, what will be after applying the effect. Pay attention to the button with the arrow and squares, pressing that you will reach the browser with all effects, which can be applied.

You cannot limit yourself to a single effect or default settings. On the right side you will find levels of effects (click on the icon more to add a new one), as well as a large number of settings, including the type of mixture, the shadow effect, the bright points and many others. In addition, you can use the mask, not to apply the filters on different parts of the image (use the brush, the icon found in the upper left corner). After completing the change, you just have to press «Save and close»: the modified version will be saved in the file, where the original image is located.

I hope you will manage it – it is not difficult and the result can be much more interesting than in Instagram.
