Photo software only contains the basic functions, so advanced functions are impossible to achieve. Many photo programs are classified under the freeware category or under the shareware category. Freeware is software that’s available for free but contains a lot of bugs. Shareware is software that’s available for a limited time and uses nag screens or counters to force the user to pay for the full version. Some programs are a combination of freeware and shareware. Most of the internet users may know freeware as well of online games such as Seafight, that can be played for free at the internet.

IrfanView is an example of photo software under the freeware and shareware category. IrfanView is a free program for users to download, but there are many limits. While users can change the brightness and color on the Webdesign photo, the user doesn’t have any access to changing colors. For example, rainbow color bars have been very popular in the blogging community, so Sandy wants to create her own. She opens various images from her pictures folder. She tries to color her fairy picture red, but the program will block her command. IrfanView will use a nag screen notifying the user about buying the full version to access this function. While IrfanView is great for people who are beginners at editing photos, the annoying nag screens will prevent advance users from downloading this software.

Picasa is an example of photo software under the freeware category. This program is free to download and very friendly for all users. Furthermore, Picasa allows users to eliminate red eye from pictures. Also, Picasa allows users to use face recognition technology which is rare for a freeware program. The disadvantage is the web album because it’s not free and the monthly premium is expensive. Ulead Photo Express is an example of photo software under the shareware category. Furthermore, Ulead Photo Express allows users to enhance their photos and use special effects on photos. There is a thirty day trial and the cost of purchasing this software is thirty dollars.
