Pros

“I prompt a style of clothing such as an 18th century dress with apron and it produces short mini skirts.”
SH

Sandra H.

Customer

“It is very good at processing images, its web version works in any browser, making it an efficient alternative to Adobe Photoshop and other programs in the category.”
LD

LUIZ D.

Chef

“I use it a lot to convert photos from different formats and high quality to the WEBP format for the websites I develop.”

Divaldo C.

CEO

Pros

“It can make adjustments from the most miniscule changes to the most extreme and everything in between. If you can learn the software, it will be a gamechanger for your photography”

Crystal C.

Owner

“Delivers what it promises and what I need to get photos culled, edited, and exported to spec.”

“For the desktop version, even on my strong PC, Lightroom Classic sometimes slows down when I change modules or start a large export.”
TA

Tabarak A.

Graphic Designer

Cons

“I use negative prompts to avoid the constant dismissal of the prompts I'm trying to create and it just keeps reproducing similar images to the ones that do not match my prompts.”
SH

Sandra H.

Customer

“The know they can get at least 1 extra years money out of it. How hard would it be to program an email reminder that you have a renewal upcoming? But they do not care, but cause if they know you are going to cancel anyway, they would rather take the money and leave you pissed off.”

“I have the free version and it is garbage, I wouldn't pay to upgrade since it can't handle the simplest prompts.”
SH

Sandra H.

Customer

Cons

“I don't love the mobile app as much as editing from my desktop.”
JG

Joe G.

CEO

“This is used for all my content gathering at work, however, the CyberLink software which came bundled with my camera package was just plain horrible.”
Sc

“Sometimes the app crashes a lot and takes a long time to respond, and I've often lost an entire edit because the app crashed and didn't save what I'd already done.”
