Which freeware does the three most basic editing tasks (shrink, text, redeye)?
In article ,
Alison Chaiken srcc.com wrote: Is there a freeware windows application that can perform the three most basic of photo editing tasks (shrink, redeye, text)? 1. Batch shrinking (like what JPEG Sizer does in batch mode) 2. Individual labeling (like what MS Paint does in text-editing mode) 3. Red eye reduction (like what Irfanview does in redeye mode) After I transfer JPEGs from my camera to Windows, I manually remove redeye and shrink (to 640x480, 80% quality) with IrvanView ('cuz it's fast & free) before adding text captions with Microsoft Paint ('cuz Irfanview doesn't have a text option) & then attaching with Mozilla Thunderbird ('cuz it's free) to send the right-sized annotated photographs to family & friends. Googling, I find JPEG Sizer will batch reduce the size but it has no redeye reduction and it has no individual captioning (although it has automatic dating) capabilities; plus, it's not really free. I see Lview is good for labeling but it doesn't seem to do redeye reduction and it isn't free either. I'd guess that all the really expensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop can do these three most basic of tasks (batch shrink, individual manual captions, red-eye reduction) - but - since I'm an amateur who only needs those three most basic of options, I'm looking for a small, fast, freeware application to replace the three programs I use today. Is there a freeware windows application that can perform the three most basic tasks (shrink, redeye, text)? Go to http://groups.google.com and check in the rec.photography.digital. Hardly a week goes by where the same question isn't posted on that group. |
