Photostyler: Add Preset Filters & Effects To Photos Easily (OSX) [20 Free Licenses]

Photo editing apps nowadays are seemingly polarized as they are either too simple to be practical to use, or too complicated for most users. Either way, most of us are not getting the results we are hoping we would get when we have tools that are not right for us.

Fortunately, we have Neatberry’s PhotoStyler, a cool OSX app for editing photos that attempts to strike the balance between user-friendliness and usefulness of features, making it a promising photo editing app for most average users. This app allows you to easily add artistic touches to your photos in a breeze, thanks to the various presets for photo styling.

When launching PhotoStyler, the app by default will take you to the Presets Library where you can easily look for a design that you would like to apply on a photo. You can easily drag and drop or load a picture so that you can easily preview how it would turn out after applying a preset.

Once you have selected on a picture to edit, the app will take you to the document view. From there you may start manipulating the photo where you can add filters or more effects. Some of these filters include a masking tool, inscriptions, sprite, crop, rotator, and glass frame. Some of these filters are also a combination of photo effects to increase the speed of your workflow.

Another very useful feature of PhotoStyler is batch processing. With this, you can select a preset and apply it to a number of photos. This definitely makes photo editing a whole lot faster and simpler.

PhotoStyler is a very nice photo editing app that Mac users should definitely check out. People who love to edit their photos will surely love this app.

As a bonus we will offer first-come, first-served, free licenses for the first 20 commenters in this post. So what do you think of this app? Let us know.

    I can see it being a handy program for some simple styling. Sometimes I don’t even want to open photoshop cause of working through all the layer issues and the size of the program.

    Well, looks like I just missed the first 20, but if one of them doesn’t want the free ap, I’d sure love it. Love to play with photos, and it takes quite a bit of time to do it in Photoshop. Thanks for letting us know about the great ap!

    OK, I must say that this software is SO much fun!!!!!! You just drag and drop a photo in, and very quickly, dozens of “actions” are immediately applied – you just pick the one you like best. You can even add and subtract some of the properties to get just the right look. A huge time saver over trying to do it in Photoshop and guess which action pre-set might look best.
