Looks impressive, doesn't it? With PhotoWorks, you'll be able to achieve a similar result in mere minutes.

You can even add a deceased person to a picture if someone you loved passed away before an important moment in your life. So let's learn how to add a person to a photo in a few simple steps.

Step 1. Install and Run PhotoWorks

Sometimes even professionals struggle to take perfect pictures. There are many factors that are out of our control, so oftentimes minor flaws make their way into our shots, almost ruining them. But as long as you have a powerful photo editor like PhotoWorks at hand, every less-than-perfect picture can be saved.

Fix Tilted Horizon in a Flash

We don't have a level tool installed into our bodies, so sometimes we end up with a picture with a slanted horizon, unless we use a tripod. PhotoWorks has a solution. Straighten a photo with the Geometry tool. Just drag a slider and watch as the skewed horizon is getting fixed. You can also use this nifty tool to correct any perspective flaws and barrel or pincushion distortions.

Restore the Sharpness of Your Pic

You shot looks hazy? With PhotoWorks, you can fix a blurry picture in no time. Just go to the Sharpness tab and sharpen your picture by dragging a few sliders. If you want to achieve a more subtle effect, adjust the clarity of your picture. You can even sharpen certain elements of your picture by using the Adjustment Brush. Just mark the objects you want to highlight, then add some sharpness to them.

Unblur your picture

Whether it is for fun or for sentiment sake, photoshopping someone into a picture is not as hard as it seems. With PhotoWorks, you'll be able to seamlessly stitch two pictures together with no effort at all. And that's not the only way you can spice up your picture with this smart photo editor. Use PhotoWorks to add stickers to photos, get rid of odd objects in the background, or make your picture look vintage. PhotoWorks can also be used as efficient picture restoration software.
