Editing Features:  

ArcSoft PhotoStudio covers the basics when it comes to editing tools and features, providing standards like red-eye removal and image optimizer tools along with a few crop tools, including an actually-decent lasso tool that intuitively outlines and extracts objects. The quantity of filters and effects is impressive. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said of many of the filters and effects’ quality.

Design Features:  

Aside from some visual embellishments and 3D text, the only true design features available in ArcSoft PhotoStudio is the photo cloner tool, which also doubles up as a blemish remover for photo and image editing. The “Magic Cut” crop tools can also be used, ostensibly, for image and graphic design as well.

Ease of Use:  

ArcSoft PhotoStudio is fairly easy to use. Whether this is by deign of its limited functionality or efficient programming is up for debate. Nevertheless, the tools and features are intuitive and user-friendly, which, unfortunately, do not always translate to favorable results.

Import/Export:  

ArcSoft PhotoStudio is pretty standard in its available modes of import, allowing users to upload images located on the hard drive and other devices connected to it. There is no RAW compatibility or camera tethering to speak of. Again, not surprising.

Save it, print it and, in some cases, convert it for use in another program: these are your export options for ArcSoft PhotoStudio. Pretty standard, but, again, somehow amiss nonetheless.
