About the SoftwareCameraBag Photo: Filter-Focused Photo Editing for Mac and PC.
What does “filter-focused” photo editing mean? It means that CameraBag Photo has the advanced tools you need to make your images look just how you want, but in an interface that makes it incredibly easy to re-use the styles you develop as custom filters. Or to start with existing presets to emulate classic film stock, or to batch apply the same style to hundreds of photos. It means that CameraBag is built from top to bottom to help you develop a unique photographic style that is distinctly your own.
We’ve designed CameraBag Photo to sit in the sweet spot of photo software: it’s much more versatile and powerful than cheesy “one-click” filter apps, but much lighter, quicker, and more intuitive than bloated traditional “pro” photo software.
CameraBag’s interface is focused on building up a series of image adjustments (or loading existing filters made up of a series of adjustments) and tweaking them as needed. You can easily see every adjustment you’ve applied to your image in the bottom tray, adjust their controls, reorder or delete them, or save what you’ve got as a new filter.
Key Features
– 150+ built-in high-quality adjustable filters
– Full suite of 30+ photographic tools, including advanced curve editors
– Build your own entirely new filters from scratch or from existing filters
– Elegant, modern interface
– Innovative tools not found anywhere else, such as CameraBag’s curve-based color corrector
– Fast image processing via the revolutionary Analog Engine
– 32-bits-per-component color depth
– Entirely non-destructive editing process
– Easy layering of filters and adjustments
– Quicklooks and previews for fast decision making
– Watermarking and custom image-based borders
– Batch processing
– RAW format support

I'm a pro photographer and videographer, and most of my work revolves around things that typically happen in big indoor or outdoor venues. I say "pro" in that I'm paid. I am obviously not the best in this business, even by a long-shot. Take my opinions with a grain of salt.
I subscribe to the Adobe Creative Suite. It's essential for me, even though, for the most part, I just take the images. I rarely ever get stuck in post, though sometimes I wish I would. Unfortunately, that just isn't our workflow. I'm just a guy taking pretty'ish pictures.
I don't like Lightroom. I find it to be poorly laid out and in general, it's workflow just doesn't work out for me. Everyone else likes it and loves it, but with Adobe CC, I adore Bridge and Photoshop. I augment that package with quick colour edits, correction and grading, in Camerabag 2.
CB2 has served me well since it was released. It's quick, snappy, and intuitive, and everything is a mask, so it's easy to deal with. If I had problems to pick with it, it'd be that it hadn't really been updated in sometime. To that regard, Camerabag Photo has been released, and while it shares a lot of the GUI of CB2, it helps it along by feeling even more snappy on lesser hardware, like my recently purchased Zenbook with 8Gb of RAM and an i5 proc. Further, CBP has arranged things in a way that makes just a bit more sense, as well as dealt with some issues of smaller, high-density pixel monitors. For instance, scaling of fonts and UI was an issue when I still owned a Surface Pro 3.
CBP and CB2 seem adequtly priced for what they are, but honestly, if it wasn't for the deep discount I got 4 years ago, I wouldn't have purchased CB2. If it wasn't for my steep Steam Card discount for already owning CB2, I wouldn't have purchased the license for CBP. That being said, if you want to avoid big branded Adobe products or if you get these things on sale, they are good, solid applications. I truly enjoy them. Just remember that if it wasn't for the discounts, they are non-essential purchases for a photographer.

Camerabag Photo Basically Camerabag 3.0.
Nice upgrade to what is one of the best kept secret apps around. I have a full version of Adobe Creative Cloud and time and again I would reach for Camera Bag 2 vs Lightroom because it just so much quicker to use, with a much better GUI!
CB 3.0 seems to have some real upgrades under the hood with far more options and presets than 2.0. It works better with 21:9 Displays and ultra HD screens (seems to scale the UI better now). And although it won't totally replace the need for stuff like Lightroom for pro' work, it is a very handy tool to have installed for fast results.
So for correcting scanned or digital photos or adjusting them for use online there really isn't anything free or paid to rival CB 3 for price or speed of use. I got a discount as a CB2 owner to upgrade, so was a total no brainer for me! But even at full price vs the subs to pay for lightroom-PS per month it's worth thinking about or watching for a sale on steam.
Great for laptop use in while 'out and about' with very low hardware needs. Works great on Win 10 64 bit on a multiscreen ultra HD system no issue.
Key New features:
Spit Screen 'tabs' to load the original image (horzontically or vertically) and then see the changes you are making in realtime. New hotkeys. Colour grading wheels and bit of extra work on the Shadows adjustment side. And loads of new Presets. Plus you can now use your own images for picture borders or as a 'watermark' (Branding logo) with basic scale-anchor-opacity controls.
Two thumbs up from me.

Let's make one thing clear: I love this program.
Why? It's easy to use and quick for everyday photoediting as well as giving special touch for 3d renders and artwork alike. Bunch of customizable filters offer nicely variation.
It seems that I might be only user around here who hasn't had not a single one crashing issue. I really mean it. Program hasn't crashed Not. Even.Once.

I see a lot of negative reviews and this pushing me to sadness. Please take time to invistigate this little shiny diamond before typing bad reviews. Thanks for reading.

An honest review:
Today I get an 80% off discount in my inbox for CameraBag photo since I bought camerabag 2. I Bought for $10.00!
Super awesome....So I compared the two softwares by opening both at the same time.
First, Both opened and ran perfectly...no problems. No errors. perfection. Havent tried to open one photo in camera bag then export it to the other. Going to try this, will update if this works or not.
First Camerabag photo has some of the basic features that came with camerabag 2. Once you get over that then you should be fine. HOWEVER, This is why I love both... Camerabag photo has a better UI interface. everything is ORGANIZED BY CLICKABLE FOLDERS! E.G Advance light, Film tone, etc and you can hide them when your not using it
Second: They have expanded more Options for creativity. They have emulated film stocks and film techinques that are almost perfection. If your a film photographer that scans their work in and use programs like these to edit work This is great because ....you can achieve the same affects in a darkroom.... without going thru the trouble of a darkroom....
Third The price is great for 39.99. I paid 10.00 but they give you so much. i feel like they should charge more. There are more options than the original.

Better version of CameraBag 2. Nice and really easy to use. Good for quick edit many photos at once.
But the 45,99€ is way too much (I've got coupon with 90% off) in my opinion because there's a lot of similar programs on the internet and even for free.

***Update:
After I downloaded the beta (in options from steam) it now works. I still love this progrem. Its not my go to to finish a photo, but to have some great presets for filters, its phenomenal to get some extra versions of a picture.
***UPDATE:
I used to love this program to get some filters and extra edits.. It had some great fine tuning tools, but it constantly crashes and is unusable. I'm really disappointed, used to be great.
****Orinigal review:
I got CB Photo on an 80% discount because I had CB2. So far, a nice UI improvement and alot of control over your editing. Will this replace photoshop, paintshop pro, affinity, or others. No. How I use this program:
I edit my photos and touch them up with PSP or Affinity and get them to a nice "traditional" look for my clients. I will then take the final edits and open them into CB Photo. I then add extra filters, adjustments, and colors to give it a more "creative and artsy" feel. The process is really quick and effective.
This program does have a lot of cool features about it. It doens't do everything, but what it does do, it does great. It has a lot of filters with previews. I really like the fact that everything that can be edited can be done so with exactness. There are sliders and scales for all the adjustments and edits so you can fine tune your photo to your hearts desire.
As I said before, it does a great job getting some extra filters and adjustment to my photos. Ive seen in some review that people have had trouble opening their files, but I have had 0 issues. I have all my photos in JPG and RAW format. I've never had an issue.
