PhotoScape x Beginners Guide - FREE Photoshop Alternative

[@MrMessy17]

Really easy to follow guide...breakdown of each of the features on the main tool bar without dragging on and becoming boring. Good job!

[@flookoco2008]

Jamie is one of my favourite KZbin content creators. Always interesting and so well delivered. Thank you.

[@TeachersTech]

Wow, thank you!

[@Arroyo2099]

can you make a video going into more detail of removing an entire background? cutting one image out and pasting it on an entire new background? for example taking the entire dog out of that picture and pasting in a completely different picture.

[@BriNathanCollins]

Here is my video sharing how to remove an entire background in PhotoScape X kzbin.info/www/bejne/goi5gqCZfbODp80

[@Tiko_tuff]

Thank you so much for this I needed it so bad

[@robsmith4999]

Thanks for the tips/help in this video. I am now getting used to using the app. If I want to merge photos in photoscape x, is there a video showing how. Also would I need the pro version to be able to merge bracketed photos. Thanks

[@thats_Mr_B]

Just more in depth use of this program. I had Gimp and Axfinity and messed around for a while and just couldn’t find features or options to open the tool bar over a few days. I got this program and found features I love and have always wanted within an hour

[@phlotographer]

I use AP but not sure what exactly you wish to know. My toolbar remains open. Do you do your updates? Reboot the program or the computer? BTW there is a plethora of YT videos related to the program with lots of new item daily being put up on YT. I was just poking around to find a freeware editor that did text and decided to checkout this program which seems to have a lot of useful capabilities and anything it does not have then I could do in AP.

[@FlippedClassroomTutorials]

Love Photoscape! We've got it installed on the computers in the MakerSpace alongside other software, but this one is definitely fun and easy to use. The tools available remind me somewhat of Snapseed in Android.

[@TeachersTech]

This is a great app for students to use. So intuitive! I’m going to check out Snapseed now, thanks!

[@gracetolzman7378]

Hello, is it possible to select an object in a photo and rotate it? Such as an image in a lensball/crystal ball that I want to turn up right.

[@BriNathanCollins]

Yes using the cutout tool you are able to rotate objects in a photo. here's a video I made on how to switch faces in an image and it will show you how to cut out an object and then you will be able to manipulate it however you'd like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npixYauQott1l5o

[@JulesMoyaert_photo]

Thank you very much! Excellent video! 👍

[@BitAnBobs]

I've been using LR & PS for a number of years. Mostly though LR. I've been playing with Photoscape X for a few hours and IMHO I think it is equal to or more powerful than LR. I hate using LR because it's clunky, bloated and a resource hogger. I've been trailing a number of other editors, because I want to get away from Adobe. This is the best alternative I've tried. I wonder how much more powerful the pro version would be. Thanks for explaining the layout in your video.

[@justdandy1]

Nice Work, thanks V. Much

[@kimmanurung6279]

Very a nice Video! I just downloaded PhotoScape X this morning and I am still struggling, so thanks for the Vid!

[@TeachersTech]

You’re welcome!

[@gbvortex_0077]

Thank you sir! This vid was very helpful

[@mrbeanz63]

Totally awesome tutorial. Just downloaded the program. Nice lesson.

[@sharyngrone7762]

Can I use this program to edit one photo on a scrapbook page I've scanned that contains several photos? Is it easy to "move' my finished edits to a photobook site?

[@BriNathanCollins]

Yes, using the insert image and cut-out tab you can make that happen. I'll see about making a video on that.

[@utunnelindia]

Excellent tutorial. Does photoscape x have layers

[@AfricanEmpress01]

Thank you Teacher's Tech. Short and concise video You'v helped me with some additional information towards my options P.E.A.C.E

[@1934jackson]

This is a pretty good tutorial. I’ve been using this program for making GIFs for tumblr. So far so good.

[@yakimionak]

thanks! RAW fails open?...

[@phlotographer]

does a .jpg? does the RAW file open in any other editor or viewer? is it only one file or others as maybe it is a corrup RAW file. Did you take the image in both RAW and .jpg? See if the .jpg of that image will open. Try to reboot the program and if that fails, reboot the computer.

[@JosephVassalloUTube]

Thanks for the videos. I appreciate. I am new to this. Do you have a detailed video of how to remove dark bags from under the eyes? Or can you be so kind to share a few directions? I am using Photoscape X 4.1 Thank you 🙏🏻

[@BriNathanCollins]

Yes, you can do that by using the color tab: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJy9mINplNmib5o

[@ammaarahzulfikar8879]

this was a really helpful video

[@missyivey9630]

Another question: Does this program have capablities to keep one color (or one object) in full color while turning rest into black and white?

[@elzabevanderwesthuizen8039]

LEARN A LOT, BUT WILL PRACTISE

[@JulianaAndTunay]

Really worthy video, thanks a lot for the tips!

[@woodymallory9058]

Can you do photo edits like exposure,highlights,shadows etc with this program...will it edit a raw file and convert it to jeg

[@JanLilyJing]

Thank you! I was getting nowhere trying to figure it out myself. I do keep losing the crop feature and can't figure out how to get it back!

[@phlotographer]

TT -- Got to this video from a googly of freeware video editors that did text. Enjoyed the basic overview and will begin looking for more videos on all the options and how they work. I have long used MS Digital Image 6 and then to others including Luminar, Aurora, Affinity Photo, LR, Photolemur and probably a few I have forgotten about. I see from comments that somethings are missing from the freeware and no info so far as to whether they are in the Pro. What I would like to suggest as a thought is for TT to answer questions in the comments that none of the readers have spoken to. I am going to look for more info about the program and view more videos and if I come across something, I will try to add info but hopefully some of the other video creators will do videos about things not covered so far. TIA

[@DroneUpp]

Do you do HDR Photo Merging? I saw merge somewhere in the program. Thanks.

[@Max-vt6ib]

Okay this is going to be hard to explain but if you change for example the background using the 'light' function and you add a ray of light and you add it. Then is there a way to change it afterwards. I like the light effects you can make with that function but if i change my mind about the color i have to restart because i can't change it if i already clicked 'add'

[@stevef3663]

Well done video I teach tech at an elementary school and many of your videos are a great help. As you probably know if you're the tech teacher you're also a go-to for staff when they need help. Again, your tips help here as well. Thanks again.

[@TeachersTech]

Thanks! That sounds like a familiar scenario.

[@lostwolvez2694]

Great video, I love photoscape! However I am only struggling with changing the DPI, I insert it to 300 and then save it. But when I open the image on my computer and check the details, then the DPI is nowhere to be found? Someone please help me out!

[@bonnieheinrich5095]

Thank you. Would I be able to insert a photo on top of a saved background . For example I would like to make a mock up for showing and selling my paintings by inserting a image of a living room with empty wall and then inserting one of my saved paintings on that wall I would have to be able to adjust the size of the painting.

[@missyivey9630]

Does this program have capabilities to create a personalized calendar? Collage of family photos on one page and, of course, the days with marked birthdays on the opposite page? I've been using Adobe Photoshop Elements for years and years, but suddenly finding it can't keep up. It can't open photos taken by an Andonstar Digital Microscope (not compatible). Photoscape opened them right up. I'm changing over. Good video!

[@missyivey9630]

Would love to see you walk us through a calendar video.

[@MountainCrestFarm]

Pointing out that replacements need to fit the computer as well as just getting rid of the Creative Cloud applications is important...glad you pointed it out. I run Shotcut, and like it, but would like to run DaVinci Resolve on my Linux machine, but the 'puter won't handle it without spending a chunk. I've got an ASUS 990FX motherboard, an AMD 8350 8 core cpu, and 32 GB of DDR3 RAM, but only an inexpensive NVIDIA 6xx video card. The DaVinci folks tell me I need to replace it...with a $300+ video card, so making sure your machine is up to the new software is important.

[@TeachersTech]

Great points! When I do a top list for free video editors I’m going to try and emphasize that. Computer specs are extremely important before pick what program to run if you want success!

Very nice. I want to create a design and turn it into a waterslide decal to put on a guitar pedal.It's about 5.75 inches high and 2.5 inches wide. So what if I want part of the design to be transparent? Like, if I put a frame around it, then a logo in the middle. The distance between the frame and the logo I want to be transparent so the pedal paint can show through. How can I do that with this software? I have the Pro version. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for this tutorial... very well done ! I can't figure out how to change a black motive into a white one, it's all on transparent background. The Change color can help define the black... but then there is no white available to make the change ! Would you have any idea to add white to the color scale ? Thanks a lot !

[@littleher4327]

may i know if you know how to add fonts to Photoscape x? I have emailed them but no repsond from them :(

[@phlotographer]

is there something specific as a font you need? I don't know how many fonts are included but I would assume that the program picks up whatever fonts are installed on your computer. Have you tried to install the font to your system and then see if PSX finds it? you might have to close and reopen the program but you may be looking at something specialized if it is not on the system already.

[@phlotographer]

where are you posting the images? do you want this to happen automatically? maybe the site you are dealing with offers an option. Luminar does have the option to send images to some social media locations but that is done in the export stage of the processing. One would do that manually on a daily basis.

[@by_isak]

There is no mask tool on photo scape x, the way you cut out images in this software, is to paint everything BUT the figure you want to cut out, so if you want to cut out an image of yourself, paint the whole background black or white, paint everything but yourself, then save the image and move it to the cutout section, where you can remove that black or white color and all you have left is the image of yourself, remember to save the cutout in PNG or the transparency wont work.

there is a catch, you have to sign up for Microsoft account in order to download the file.
