Focusing on high-quality photos for me has a negative impact, because I miss some features:
1. The color depth of the image can not be reduced. This also applies to export to PNG.
2. There is no Web-Export with preview (eg. To check different compression rates, or color depths).
For both you need then additional software like XnView.
Conclusion: FixFoto suitable for processing high-quality photos, but not for scanning and storing of newspaper articles.
