Zoner StudioReviews of zoner.com

I've been using Zoner XPS for several years. Originally I chose XPS for the features at such an affordable price. Each release brings improvements. Although I occasionally use some other editors that have a specific feature, my editor of choice is still Zoner XPS. The regular videos are awesome. So are the articles on the Learn pages of zoner.com. Just this morning I watched one and learned that something I have always done with another app is possible, and much better, in XPS.

I have come to appreciate the efficiency and ease of editing with ZONER editing software. With just a single click, I can apply various editing options and even incorporate a LUT (Look-Up Table) to adjust the mood of a photo. Additionally, I streamline my workflow by processing all the photos from a session in batches or groups, allowing me more time for other tasks. When presenting proofs to clients, I promptly address their requests for creating albums or books. Working with software has truly been a fantastic experience, eliminating the need for additional tools.

Everything works as promised. The tools are easy to use and understand. Combining editing tools with cataloging greatly improves efficiency.

Zoner Photo Studio X is a well thought out suite of software that gives me a huge range of options in the way I want to edit images and process raw files. It is well and regularly maintained with updates and freebies presets. My own needs are relatively simple but if there's anything I need beyond my usual workflow I can both find a way to do what I want and find instructional videos to help me.

Since 2011 ZPS has been my standard application for managing my giant photo collection. And many years it has been my standard for editing too, every now and then I try and use other editors, but I keep coming back. Let me give you some of my reasons: 1) You need a subscription to use it, but that is affordable compared to other programs 2) it is suitable for photographers of all levels 3) for location determination and recording you can also use open street maps in addition to google 4) it has extensive possibilities to share photos, secured or not secured and private or public 5) it is very easy to shrink photos for social media 6) you have many tools, presets and filters at your disposal 7) extensive possibilities to work with layers 8) you can have different browsers open side by side, so work in different folders at once, also in the cloud! 9) in the catalog you have different views, such as calendar, location and on keyword 10) everybody can use Zonerama, their free unlimited online photo and album storage, but with Photo Studio it's integrated, which offers unique possibilities like editing directly online! And you can upload RAW and unlimited video too! 11) speaking of video: Photo Studio has a well-equipped video editor on board 12) you can create panoramas, photo books, HDR, collages, 3d and more 13) spice up every photo with dynamic lighting and Tonemapping! 14) good support Is there nothing left to wish for? Of course there is, nothing is completely perfect. My most urgent wishes: a) a smartphone app b) more efficient search online in Zonerama and preferably also on user level!

Satisfaction, good photo editor

I have used Zoner for a long time. I've tried other basic to medium photo editors but I always come back to Zoner. It's very easy to use especially for minor touch-ups.

I've been a semi-professional photographer for over 30 years now, and I've used a lot of programs in that time. Some of them have very simplistic tools, others you feel like you need to have a degree in rocket science to operate them, the learning curve is that big. With Zoner, you have the right blend of presets, auto corrections and multiple layer support that enables you to do all you might do - to make a good photo even better. And with the advent of AI, I've now found another use for it - to make minor edits to AI generated text to image pictures that have minor hand or face defects. Best of all - the price is so competitive I would now choose no other. Try the free version first and you'll soon be glad to upgrade. I hope you found this review useful and that soon, like me, you'll be spending hours to your heart's content learning how to master Zoner Photo Studio.
