First Look: Iris 1.0 image editor |
Adobe’s Photoshop has set the standard for digital editing. Unfortunately, the program often overwhelms anyone who isn’t a professional graphics artist. When bombarded with so many features, novices often give up in frustration. To meet the needs of hobbyists who want to edit a digital photograph, or aspiring artists who want to paint images on a computer, many companies offer simpler applications. One of the latest of these is Iris 1.0.The program’s main appeal is its simplified interface. Unlike Photoshop, which floods the screen with dozens of icons and palettes, this program displays icons in a single strip (toolbox) along the left side of the screen, while displaying palettes on the right side. |
