I have Photoshop Elements, but normally I end up lost when trying to go in and edit photos using it. It is extremely complicated!!
Aurora by Light Crafts has solved all of my editing problems and I am so excited to tell all of you about!
Light Crafts (www.lightcrafts.com) launched a very unique photo editing and management software called Aurora. Aurora is a powerfully simple photo management software for consumers who want to reduce the complexity, and increase the results, of editing, organizing, sharing and storing digital images. Aurora is intuitive to use, enabling anyone to go from download to expert in a matter of minutes.
Aurora’s key features include:
- Visual photo editing: The strength of Aurora lies in its intuitive, powerful, visual editor which presents suggested improvements in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get fashion. The unique relight tool essentially “turns on” the light inside the image, creating better, more realistic photos. Users can also straighten, adjust color strength and warmth, crop, zoom and adjust red-eye in a simple, intuitive and visual way.
- Organizing and viewing of photos: Aurora allows consumers to easily import photos from their camera or computer, re-arrange and re-name them, then tag and rate favorites for easy viewing and retrieval.
- Sharing and publishing: Aurora enables consumers to email, print, and Aurora making it easy to share select photos online on sites like Flickr and Facebook.
- Online back-up: Photos are one of those truly irreplaceable items. Aurora’s optional online back-up service is powered by Amazon.com and stores photos to keep them out of harm’s way. Online back-up plans are available for $4.95 per month. Users can simply hit “online back up” from within Aurora to sync directly with their Amazon storage account.
At the top above the photo, you can see what each black and white editing option would change the photo into. For this picture I chose to stick with color, so the yellow on Brayden's dump truck would show up.Now I'm gonna show you Aurora in action.
I started with this:
and less than 5 clicks of the mouse later, I ended up with this:
Brayden actually has color now that I edited the picture. It was taken at night and looked really washed out. I love how the new picture courtesy of Aurora came out!Check out these 2 pics that were edited with Aurora... I think they speak for themselves when it comes to the power Aurora holds:
Amazing, right??Aurora also does a fantastic job of organizing all of my pictures for me... and that is always a good thing because of the massive amount of pictures I take. I am able to easily find any picture I am looking for in a matter of seconds thanks to Aurora!

If you simply want an easier way to edit crispness, color, and warmth and change pictures to black and white and remove red-eye, then Aurora is for you!
