Advanced features may be missing and the result of the existing features may not always be the same but Fotografix is easily worth a download.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fotografix is very much a mini version of Photoshop with its similar menu structure and a good number of (perhaps more basic) features familiar to Photoshop users.
