Types Of Editors
•
•
•
•
Basic editors are programs that only allow you to edit an existing
image
• PhotoPad Image Editor & Pixlr Desktop & Photo Editor
Mid-level editors offer more advanced tools like layers, adding
captions and shapes, the ability to select portions of the image
and make adjustments to just those portions etc etc
– Artweaver & Paint.Net
Advanced editors have advanced photographic features that
work with the features of specific cameras and the files that they
generate.
– GIMP & Image Analyser
Digital imaging suites that bundle related modules or programs
to extend the functionality of the core image editor. The extra
features can be both basic and advanced so the suites generally
cover all three levels of capability.
– Adobe Suite, CorelDraw Suite
