Fotogenic

Fotogenic is a super easy picture editor that has all the tools and filters you need to make your photos look their best. Whether you’re looking to edit, retouch, or adjust your images, Fotogenic gives you tons of options right at your fingertips.

Getting Started with Fotogenic

Once you fire up Fotogenic on your Mac, you can quickly load a photo and dive into editing. The interface is designed so that you can easily pick from a wide range of tools that help enhance your pictures.

Customizing Your Editing Tools

You can customize each tool through the little Settings cogwheel located on the right side of the bottom toolbar. This toolbar lets you switch between sub-tools for each main tool, giving you extra options to play around with!

Previewing Your Edits

If you're curious about how your edits stack up against the original photo, just hit the preview button in the top right corner of the window. It’s a quick way to see what changes you've made!

A Few Limitations to Note

One thing to keep in mind is that Fotogenic doesn’t let you resize its window yet. So, if you're working with multiple windows on your Mac, you'll need to find a way to arrange them or just keep Fotogenic open alone.

Adding Captions and Fonts

When you're adding captions, you can browse through all the fonts installed on your Mac. However, scrolling isn’t as smooth as it could be—you'll have to use arrow keys instead of the scroll wheel.

User Interface and Guidelines

An interesting point is that Fotogenic doesn’t strictly follow Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines. So if you're used to other Mac image editors, this might feel a bit different!

Helpful Features at Your Fingertips

The good news? Every tool in Fotogenic comes with interactive help just one click away! That makes it easier for anyone to get started with great image editing.

Your Ideal Image Editing Tool

In short, if having easy-to-reach interactive help and a bunch of editing tools are what you're after in an app for your Mac, then Fotogenic might just be perfect for you!
