Zoner Photo Studio 16 is the first Windows photo editor and manager in the world to fully support touch operation. “There are many photo programs out there, but Zoner Photo Studio rises above the pack by providing absolutely everything you need all in one place. Users can turn to one application — Zoner Photo Studio — to download their photos, sort them, edit them, and share them. Millions out there are still using three or even more different programs, and getting less done. We’re here to save them from that,” explains Jaroslav Kucek, Vice President, Zoner. Zoner Photo Studio has a free edition, which covers basic image editing and management needs and offers quick one-click work; and a Pro Edition ($89), which contains a raw data conversion module and advanced tools for creative outputs.

The First Touch-friendly Photo Software for PCs: Zoner Photo Studio 16. Upload Even a Million Full-resolution Photos to Zonerama

Zoner Photo Studio is the first such Windows photo editor and manager in the world to fully support touch operation. Alongside the launch of Zoner Photo Studio, the company is launching a new version of the Zonerama.com online photo gallery — it’s the first truly unlimited gallery, and it’s free.

Integrated touch support was the next logical step for the Zoner team, in response to the growing ranks of users whose computers have touch support, whom we’d like to also see among the ranks of Zoner Photo Studio users. Many will be familiar with touch gestures from their cell phones; these work in Zoner Photo Studio too, so touch operation of the program is very intuitive. There’s no special setup required here.
Switch Windows Less—Get More Done!

Zoner Photo Studio’s user base has grown 60% in the last year, with half of this growth coming from North America, which is a great foundation for Zoner’s expansion goal: to reach number one on the US market within three years. The company sees a huge potential in those users who seek a simple yet professional photo editor and organizer.

“There are many photo programs out there, but Zoner Photo Studio rises above the pack by providing absolutely everything you need all in one place. Users can turn to one application — Zoner Photo Studio — to download their photos, sort them, edit them, and share them. Millions out there are still using three or even more different programs, and getting less done. We’re here to save them from that,” explains Jaroslav Kucek, Vice President of Zoner, Inc.

From Red Eye Reduction to Advanced RAW Processing

Zoner Photo Studio is designed from the ground up to be software that grows with the photographer. Most users start with the Free Edition, which covers basic image editing and management needs and offers quick one-click work. A large part of them will then move on to the Pro Edition ($89), which contains a RAW module and advanced tools for creative outputs like 3D, HDR, and Tilt-shift, as well as advanced retouches like professional noise reduction and Content-aware Resize.

Zoner Photo Studio has always been strong in the realms of photo organizing and sorting. It offers easy ways to tag and find photos based on keywords, colored labels, ratings, and other EXIF information. Version 16 takes the program yet another step forward here with quick drag and drop geotagging. After setting photos’ shot locations either through this or several other methods, users can easily where they took what photo. This function is based on Google Maps.

A Million Photos, Each at a Hundred Megapixels? Why Not?

On Zonerama it’s no problem. And it’s completely free. Zonerama alone offers photographers completely unlimited space, entirely for free, and with their own choice of domain. Zonerama is breaking down the traditional barriers where users are limited by photo size or total space available, or by paid services—it offers completely unlimited space.
