Imaging Tools http://www.freesoftwarefile.com Download Free Software File Collection Wed, 17 Aug 2011 21:08:54 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Changing Dimensions of Your Pictures with Minhs Free PhotoResizer 1.61 http://www.freesoftwarefile.com/freeware/graphics-and-photo/changing-dimensions-of-your-pictures-with-minhs-free-photoresizer-1-61-freeware.html http://www.freesoftwarefile.com/freeware/graphics-and-photo/changing-dimensions-of-your-pictures-with-minhs-free-photoresizer-1-61-freeware.html#comments Mon, 18 Jul 2011 06:43:25 +0000 randi http://www.freesoftwarefile.com/?p=1554 This is a very simple utility to allow you to batch resize digital photos. No one wants to open a huge suite of photo editing tools just to perform one simple task like resizing an image. with tools like Minh’s Free PhotoResizer, we don’t have to. This basic program can resize and convert images, and that’s about it. It’s the perfect tool for anyone looking for a quick, no hassle way to resize images. You simply indicate your maximum width or height in pixels and drag and drop your images (or folder containing images) onto the window. The program will then batch resize all images into a subfolder.

Minh’s Free PhotoResizer interface is plain with just a small gray square with three menus across the top. A text box lets users enter the desired maximum width or height of their image in pixels. Users can select JPEG quality on a scale of 1 through 10, have the program scale up images of a smaller size, and select between JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, or TIFF output formats. Once you’ve adjusted the settings to your liking, just drag and drop the image or images you want resized onto the program’s interface.

Minh’s Free PhotoResizer creates a subfolder within the original files’ directory and deposits the resized images there. We liked that the program gives users the option of adding it to the Windows context menu, allowing them to right-click on any image and select it from the Send to menu. There’s no Help file, but that’s not a huge drawback; everything about the program is fairly intuitive. Minh’s Free PhotoResizer isn’t fancy or feature-packed, but if you need a program that can resize your images quickly and with little fuss, it’s a great choice.

Version 1.61 allows for choosing the output file type. Extended support to TIFF, JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG codecs (input as well as output). It can’t get any easier than that.

With Minh’s Free PhotoResizer you’ll be able to change the size of your digital images on the spot. Minh’s Free PhotoResizer requires no installation, and at only 68K, you could easily keep it on a USB drive for portable use.

Screen captures can be incredibly useful, whether you’re trying to share an error message with tech support or want to save a ridiculous comment exchange on Facebook. There are plenty of utilities to help you do this, too, ranging from the bare-bones to the highly customizable.

ScreenGrab falls somewhere in the middle of this spectrum; we’ve definitely seen screen capture utilities with more features, but ScreenGrab still brings quite a bit to the table. ScreenGrab interface is plain, just a rectangle with some drop-downs, radio buttons, and check boxes. You can set ScreenGrab to capture either the entire screen or just the active window.

The program can either automatically save the image, save it to the clipboard, or prompt you to enter a file name. Images can be saved in JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and PNG formats. You can set hot keys to both take a screen capture and to bring the interface back up, and the program can be set to hide its icon in the task bar, ensuring that it won’t appear in the screen captures.

The program can optionally include the cursor in the image and play a sound when a screen capture is taken. We took several different kinds of screen captures with ScreenGrab and we were pleased with its performance each time. The built-in Help file provides a brief overview of the program’s features, but it’s really not necessary; everything about ScreenGrab is intuitive. Overall, ScreenGrab isn’t the fanciest screen capture utility we’ve seen, but it will be perfectly adequate for many users’ needs.

Needless to say, the auto-save feature is the one that allows a faster work. You can save images in four popular formats, but unfortunately you only have two capture modes: either the whole screen or the active windows.

You can merge the two images in different ways as well as smooth blending in of just part of an image to the final result. No need to worry about image relative positioning, size or scaling differences. Version 2.2 features a new ‘macro’ button; adds surreal effects, explicitly set image size.

Merge 2.2 interface is both unintuitive and extremely unattractive. A dockable toolbar on the right side of the interface contains a series of unlabeled buttons and collapsible menus that represent the program’s features. We had an easy enough time selecting the two images that we wanted to merge, but everything from there was a process of trial and error. The program comes with a rather thorough Help file and a quick-start tutorial, but the way these documents are written makes them hard to understand.

MERGE main features :

  • Merge whole pictures with adjustable blending modes.
  • Fade out one image and fade in the other image towards the edge of the final picture.
  • Batch Merge files with a single image – useful for watermarking your favorite images.
  • Type up to ten lines of text of any font, size and color and merge it with an image.
  • Smoothly blend in just part of a source image to the final result.
  • Using the clipboard: copy back result back to a source image and rescale or reposition it for remerging.
  • Set any relative positioning of the images on top, side by side or overlapping.

It’s unfortunate that the program is as user-unfriendly as it is, because it actually has a decent set of features; images can be scaled and flipped individually, and there are special effects and controls for brightness and contrast. But even very simple tasks are harder than they need to be.

Think you’re going to move an image by clicking on it and dragging it? Not so fast, you’re actually going to have to right-click on it, draw a line to where you want it, and then let go. Such strange behaviors make Merge annoying to use, especially when there are plenty of alternatives out there that actually make sense. Merge installs a desktop icon without asking but uninstalls cleanly.

Some photo editing programs are utilitarian, concerned only with the basics of correcting images and making them look their best. Other programs, like FotoSketcher, are a bit more fun. This easy to use program allows you to add all kinds of artistic effects to your images, turning your photos into drawings, paintings, and more. Thanks to FotoSketcher you can create stunning images to make original gifts for your friends or relatives.

All you need to do is open the image you want to convert into a sketch and select the drawing effect you want to apply. The preview window, though a bit too small, lets you check the result before clicking the “Draw!” button. FotoSketcher will then apply the effect and display the final image beside the original one, so that you can compare both.

FotoSketcher also includes basic editing tools to modify the source image, supports skins to customize the program’s interface, and can work in batches with several photos at the same time.

The FotoSketcher interface is sleek and quite intuitive, with the key features represented by icons across the top. The original image and the edited version are displayed side by-side, allowing you to easily compare your new work of art to your source material. There are a wide variety of effects that can be applied, including various types of pencil sketch, pen and ink, and painting effects. Each of these has characteristics that can be customized, including the size of the brushstrokes, the color intensity, the strength of the effect, brightness, and so on. Users can also crop images and add text.

Overall, we thought that FotoSketcher was a lot of fun to play with. You’re unlikely to fool anyone into thinking that you actually painted the image in question, but the results are quite good for what they are. We especially like the fact that the program is so easy to use, making it appropriate even for image-editing novices. There’s no Help file per se, but we didn’t really think one was necessary; everything about the program was self-explanatory. If you enjoy experimenting with special effects, FotoSketcher is worth checking out.

Light Image Resizer 4.0.5.6 is useful to those more efficient, who often need to reduce the size of photos, for example, to send an e-mail, and Web masters or those who are going to put pictures on the Internet. The program supports the format bmp, jpeg, gif, png. If you want to convert the picture for viewing on the iPod, Sony PSP, HDTV and DVD, simply select the appropriate preparation, and the program automatically converts the images to the desired format.

This free program initially impresses with a colorful screen that looks professional and simple to navigate. However, a little playing around soon shows that users are in a canoe without any paddles. The simple-looking screen morphs into something far more complicated as option boxes expand with more confusing command choices. Not only are the options for adjusting picture size and save location less than intuitive, we found no Help file to hold our hand through the learning process.
Adjusting pictures was eventually figured out through trial and error, but could come at a serious cost to some users. VSO Image Resizer doesn’t offer any way to preview the changes you are making, but makes sure you are informed that these are permanent changes. Our fear is that users will alter a picture in ways they don’t intend without a preview option.

  • New v3 : new filters, top quality and new algorithms

Another option is to change the metadata also copy, or retain the date on which the image was created. Light Image Resizer 4.0.5.6 does all the changes you want to images easily and quickly.

This program makes us think of a Swiss Army Knife, or perhaps a well stocked, well organized desk drawer. PicPick describes itself as all in one design tools,” and indeed it is.

PicPick 3.0.3 minimizes to the system tray, and accessing its features is as simple as clicking on its icon. A menu appears listing the program’s many useful tools: an image editor, screen capture, color picker, color palette, magnifier, pixel ruler, protractor, crosshair, and whiteboard. We especially liked the image editor, which is basic as far as its features are concerned but which features a clean, intuitive design.

New in PicPick 3.0.3 :

  • Improved Windows Control Capture
  • Added Delay before capture
  • Improved Upload to Web function
  • Fixed : Print Preview bugs
  • Language updates
  • Small known bugs were fixed

The screen capture function was also impressive; we loved that it includes a scrolling capture option that lets users capture Web pages and other scrolling documents all in one image. A well-organized options menu lets users specify how images are saved, which hot keys to use for specific tools, whether to support dual monitors, and much more. PicPick even includes an FTP client that makes it incredibly easy to load its content directly to a Web site. We were a little disappointed that the program didn’t seem to include a Help file, but most of the features should be fairly easy to figure out for anyone with basic design or image editing experience. Overall, we found PicPick to be an extremely useful set of tools, and we were impressed with both its features and its attractive design.

PicPick is provided as freeware for only personal (non-business) and non-profit educational use. In this case, you are granted the right to use this program free of charge. Otherwise, you need to pay for a license for commercial use. It has not only everything what you need, but it loads fast, sits quietly in the system tray until needed.

The program loads fast and possesses an interface completely different from those familiar with Adobe’s industry-leading tools. Users are greeted by circular navigator complemented by a tabbed nav on the top of the main screen. Most but not all main features are accessible from either nav. It might take some people time to get used to the unusual layout, but it’s only unusual for an image editor; otherwise it’s intuitive, fast, and lacks only the most advanced of image editing features.

The photo editor is easy enough for beginners to use. The other sections may be a little more difficult. You would need a little knowledge about creating anigifs to use the anigif section. You will also need to know how to navigate through your folders on your computer using the folder panel in PhotoScape to locate the photos that you want to use. The good thing about being a beginner and using this program is that they have a nice help file.

PhotoScape is an all in one style photo editor with fun and ease of use. Major capabilities are: viewer, editor, batch editor, page, combine, animated GIF, print, splitter, screen capture, color picker, rename, raw converter, resizing, brightness/color/white-balance adjustment, backlight correction, frames, balloons, text, drawing pictures, cropping, filters, red eye removal and blooming. PhotoScape has been used for two years and is expanding its features continuously.

Screen Capture Effect

There is a feature in PhotoScape called Screen Capture. It is a great feature that will allow you to capture screen shots. When you clickPhotoScape Review – screen capture the Screen Capture, you will be presented with an options box. In this box you can select what part of your screen you want to capture. Once you click the button of your choice, the screen will be captured. The capture will then be opened in your PhotoScape Editor. This is a cool effect.

Photo Editor

The Photo Editor in this program is great. You are presented with many options when editing the photos. Some of the options available PhotoScape Review – photo editorare adjusting the color, rotating the photo, adding frames, adding objects, adding text, and more. I love this photo editor in PhotoScape. Editing the photos is easy. You can do most of the editing with a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Overall, This is a great program. I cannot find one complaint. If you are a beginner using this program, take a look at the help file that they offer. The photo editing section is pretty self explanatory. The screen capture is also self explanatory. Creating the anigifs and collages will probably be a little more difficult if you have never done it before. But the help file will walk you through that. So, I recommend PhotoScape for beginners and advance users.

PhotoScape is free to use.
