Zoner Photo Studio 12 Free

By

Zoner Photo Studio 12 Free is a new photo management and editing software program available for personal and non-commercial use.  While I haven’t used this new free edition yet, I have used Zoner Software’s professional version of Zoner Photo Studio and have been mostly pleased with its capabilities.  Based on this past experience and what the new free version looks like, I think Windows users looking for an inexpensive photo management and basic editing solution would do well to give this a try.

You can download Zoner Photo Studio 12 Free from Zoner Software’s website.
