Looking for the best Photo Editing Software for your Irish Business so you can do justice to your products and services? First impressions count so it’s wise to do what you can to make your site stand out ahead of your competition…

Regardless of what industry you’re in, ask yourself, are your images doing justice to your product/service offering? They should always be correctly sized, so that you have a consistent look on your website.

We see it every day – even medium-sized business that have gone to the trouble of getting their products professionally photographed… They upload them to their website in the wrong size and when they’re displayed alongside their other products, it skews the layout of the row they are on. Large images next to small images… you’ll spot this yourself.

For businesses with a bigger budget, they could have simply asked the Photographer for the correct size in the first place; or to make themselves self-sufficient, then they should always upload the images in the right size.

Bloggers and Influencers make this mistake so often too – the image they upload to their Instagram is the website image instead of it being sized for Instagram.

Size your images correctly, and lift your look.

If this is you and your business, you need a Photo Editing Software to re-size your images before uploading to your website. Think of it as making all your images wear a uniform so that no matter what page your visitors land on, each page has a consistent look and feel.

When you re-size before uploading to your site, in essence, you create a ‘house-style’ of your website and your visitors feel it. It’s part of your branding to have a consistent look-and-feel so don’t miss this step.

If your images are not consistently sized, then it’s time to invest in Photo Editing Software that you can use before uploading your images.

We tried and tested quite a few Photo Editors – both with a high price-point and a low price-point. You get what you pay for: obviously an awful lot more functions and flexibility with the high price-point option we recommend below (in our experience and opinion, nothing compares to Adobe for web design; and Canva for Social posts), but the low price-point versions can be sufficient for certain tasks too.
