Radiant Photo is a newly released editing software that has been causing a stir among photography enthusiasts. Curious to know what all the fuss is about? Here’s my review, where I share my thoughts and first time exploring this new product.

Editor’s Note: Radiant Photo is a Photofocus partner.

Overview of Radiant Photo

Have you heard of Radiant Photo? It’s a software that’s been designed to make editing your photos super easy, fast and enjoyable, whether you’re a beginner or a pro.

One of the things I like the most about Radiant Photo is how easy it is to use. The interface is very user-friendly. For those who’ve never edited a photo before, you’ll be able to get started right away. Its powerful imaging engine recognizes the content of your photos and analyzes it to get the ideal starting point.

Radiant Photo has some really cool features, like customizable workspaces and nondestructive editing. This means you won’t mess up your original photo if you make a mistake. It naturally supports RAW image files, so you can edit your photos in their highest quality.

I took this cool picture at my last MMA fight event. It’s quite underexposed so I’ve decided to give it a try with Radiant Photo.

My First Impressions and Experience with the software

As I was exploring Radiant Photo, it pleasantly surprised me with its intuitive and modern interface. Its presets and filters library is extensive and diverse, making photo enhancement easy and quick. You can add a Smart Presets and Looks with a single click. You can even train your own Smart Preset to get exactly what you want to see.

The software provides a range of fine-tuned editing tools with the Quick Edit Controls. Radiant Photo’s Presets and Looks alone are worth checking out, and its advanced editing tools offer endless creative potential. It’s available as a stand-alone application or a plug in for Photoshop, Lightroom and PaintShop Pro.

I also personally think it’s pretty cool that this company is entirely owned and operated by photographers, just like me.

Exploring Radiant Photo’s features and tools

Radiant Photo has a lot of features and tools to choose from, making it great for photographers of all levels. One of my favorite standout feature is the “Smart Preset” that is automatically applied based on the scene. In the photo above, the only thing I did was to import the image in the software. Radiant Photo got 90% of the job done for me without having to move a single slider. I like how it automatically balanced the exposure and added a 3D depth to the scene.
