Old School Photo Editor
Problem…
You want to make some simple changes to a photo. But most photo editors feel like airplane cockpits. Too many buttons. Too many mystery icons. Too much fuss. You just want to quickly fix the photo and move on.
Solution…
Open Old School Photo Editor. Choose your photo. The editing tools are clearly labeled in plain English. No learning curve. No hunting around wondering what a strange little icon means.
Crop. Brighten. Resize. Sharpen. Join. Create an email friendly copy. Make the change you need, then save the edited version as a new copy. Your original photo stays untouched. Done.
(Like this little kitten photo. Fifteen minutes earlier, she was sitting in the middle of a busy highway intersection. My daughter stopped traffic, grabbed her, and held her as she drove home. Some image sharpening, increased brightness, and a quick crop brings the focus where it belongs.)

Photo Editor the Old School way
As far as we know, in today’s world there’s not a straightforward, basic, simple, clear, lean, easy to use Photo Editor. So we made one.
No mysterious icons. No wall of tiny switches.
It handles most of what a user would want, like
- Zoom in and out
- Brightness and Contrast
- Color
- Make a white background transparent
- Sharpen Image
- Blur or highlight an area in an image
- Make image B&W, or Sepia
- Join Images
- Rotate image
- Crop
- Add Text
- Straighten a photo
We do get a little fancy with the Transparency thing. It’s where you can take an image, like large logo lettering that has a white background and make that background transparent. Then the image can be placed on top of another image to have it blend in nicely. It’s a great little tool to have. Three ways to make an area transparent: 1.) Global, 2.) draw a box, 3.) freeform draw with your mouse, like draw along the inside of a letter like ‘O’. Then everything inside the O becomes transparent.
This app saves the edited photo as a new file. It will never delete your original. Unless you tell it to.
