Everyone wants perfect photos, whether for social media or personal memories. However, many amateur photographers make common mistakes that ruin otherwise great pictures, whether during shooting or in editing. SoftOrbits, founded by Eugene Ustinenkov in 2006, is an image editing software development company that focuses on building simple tools that fix these mistakes instantly without the need for developing professional skills or overcoming steep learning curves.
“We created SoftOrbits as a way to address the glaring issue — so many companies offer complex and comprehensive software that isn’t accessible for average users. We want to make tools for everyone, not just people with hours of free time to learn how to operate complex systems,” says Eugene Ustinenkov, CEO of SoftOrbits and AlarmFront.
Most common editing mistakes
Overexposed or underexposed photos
Poor lighting or wrong camera settings lead to washed-out skies or dark shadows, and this issue is incredibly prevalent in amateur photos. Fixing it manually often requires a great sense of balance and experience. Luckily, SoftOrbits’ AI-powered auto-enhancement and manual brightness/contrast controls in Photo Editor enable users to quickly adjust their photos, achieving perfect results in a few seconds.
Blurry or out-of-focus shots
Countless holiday or event photos were ruined because of camera shake, fast movement, and low light, which is awful because of how important and memorable these moments often are. SoftOrbits’ blur removal tools are specifically designed to address these issues by sharpening details and restoring clarity even in the most desperate cases.
Red-eye effect
Although camera flash reflection leading to the infamous red-eye effect is mostly gone thanks to recent advancements in technology, the issue still appears from time to time — only now, many users don’t know how to fix it because it’s not as common. This is when SoftOrbits’ one-click red-eye removal tool in Photo Retoucher comes into play and fixes the issue immediately.
Distracting backgrounds
Busy or unwanted backgrounds often distract from the subject, and many amateur photographers don’t have the option to change the environment to suit their artistic requirements. Photo Background Remover enables them to quickly and easily cut out subjects or replace/blur the background.
Unwanted objects or people
Tourists, wires, and trash bins can be a part of the scenery or even the main objects of photography — but they can also stand in the way or distract from something that the photographer wants to accentuate. Photo stamp remover enables amateurs to quickly and cleanly remove objects without complex manual editing requirements.
Overusing filters
Unfortunately, the unprecedented accessibility of photo filters has resulted in a surge of unnatural-looking images, which many amateur photographers regret after a while. SoftOrbits’ photo editor enables subtle offline filters and manual adjustments for natural tones, ensuring a lasting image.
Wrong image size for sharing or printing
Images can turn out to be too large for the web or too small for print. And both issues are incredibly annoying to deal with, especially when you have to fix them manually. Luckily, SoftOrbits’ batch image resizer enables users to resize, compress, and convert hundreds of pictures in one click, saving time and reducing stress.
Saving memories and helping users at every stage
Most editing mistakes are easy to fix with the right tools, and thanks to SoftOrbits’ utilities, creating professional-looking photos is easier than ever. Right now, the company works on increasing accessibility and convenience for its users by implementing automated AI-powered features that rely on prompts and natural language recognition, making editing more intuitive and convenient than ever.
