As more photos are made on more types of devices, there’s a need for resultant images that aren’t just “OK” but as good as they can be.

Photo/Graphic Edges (PGE) from Auto FX Software has been with us for many years and the company recently released their latest version, 7.0, Platinum Edition ($249, stand-alone and plug-in; $129, upgrade for owners of Version 5 or 6).
