The premium image editing app, Photo Editor Pro | Polarr, is currently selling with a 90% discount in the Windows Store until September 29th. This means that while it usually costs $19.99 in the U.S.A. for the fully-featured version, anyone can grab it now for just $1.99.
The app has also been updated to coincide with the promotional campaign and now boasts a redesigned user interface and a variety of new features. “We’ve significantly improved the Polarr Windows app with faster performance and greater stability/minimized crashing issues,” says Polarr’s Karissa Paddie. “We’ve redesigned the interface completely, added new brushing and masking tools, and a machine-learning-trained denoise tool which outranks the competitors, along with new filters.”
