Professor Franklin's Instant Photo Effects
This software application is probably the fastest and easiest way to apply some nice effects to your photos. You don't need any artistic skills, nor the ability to manage a complicated photo editor like Photoshop.
In Professor Franklin's Photo Effects you simply choose the picture you want to work on and select the filters you'd like to apply to it. The only big problem is the program's interface, which is designed to be different from the standard Windows app but makes it incredibly difficult to use. It seems they were paying more attention to esthetics rather than usability.
Despite this handicap, the program still has some interesting effects that will add a touch of elegance and originality: borders, frames, painting filters, folded corner effect or drawing filter are just some of the effects you'll find.
Add special effect to your photos in a couple of mouse clicks.

I love Professor Franklin's Instant Photo Effects!.
I purchased Professor Franklin's Instant Photo Effects years ago at CompUSA. Loved it so much that I later wanted to buy it as gifts. It was no longer available there, so found it on the internet. Bet I have bought about a dozen copies to give away through out the years. Everyone loves it. It is great for beginners. As I progressed to PhotoShop, I used it less, but still go to it for a quick tweak.
Pros:
Great for beginners and advanced photo editing students for amazing tweaks in a hurry.
Cons:
I found the red eye removal tool to be tricky and not always helpful. Wish there where slidders so that the levels of the effects could be changed slightly. More

So easy my 95 year old mother can do it..
I've used Instant Photo Effects for several years now.. really should get an updated copy, but it is so easy to use, I have even let my 95 year old mother play with some photos of the great grandkids and she loves the results. Photo effect's screen graphics are simplistic, but they actually add to the ease of use. I've also used the resulting images for some of the websites I've developed for picky customers.. they love having something unique.
Pros:
Simple to use, great results in no time. A variety of choices to try different effects.
Cons:
Wish there were more effects to choose from. The results are just .bmp format and I have to convert to .jpg for web pages, but not really a big deal. More
