Image Editor, Viewer and Screen Capture Applications

Here’s something I came across while looking for FREE image editors. I usually use Macromedia’s Fireworks or Photoshop to edit pics. An example would be Firework’s gif animation on the right with the radio tuner gif.

But if you don’t have any of the ones I mentioned, here are a few FREE image editors that you can download and use. Oh btw, if your browser is Explorer it won’t animate. Use Firefox instead to view the animation on the right.

Here’s one that lets you edit pics:
Gimp 2.4

• photo enhancement
• digital retouching
• uses available formats - jpeg, gif, tiff, png psd

If you want to try a different image viewer or want to use your own pics for a screen saver go to:
IrfanView 4.10

• nice way to view images
• paint option, color depth (edit)
• create slideshows
• batch convert images
• image capture

Here’s something I use if the site doesn’t want you to right click and save pics. Ok, I know website owners do this to protect their precious pics. But as long as you give credit to where you snatched the pic i.e. post the link on your site, and NOT claim it as your own, at least you give courtesy to the real owner and give backlinks to their site. I think they won’t mind a little boost in their PR ranking.

For this, I use Captura 1.0 screen capture:
You have 3 options to take the screenshot

• Capture a section of the screen
• Capture the full screen
• Capture the full screen after 10 seconds

To download go to:
http://www.hernansoft.com/products.html or to
http://www.brothersoft.com/captura-17571.html

Lastly, if you want to edit gifs but don’t want to download any application to your desktop, here’s the site to go to: GifWorks
Upload the pic to the site, edit it and save it to your desktop. Most of the editing uses dropdown menus. It’s basically straightforward so it won’t be that hard to do.

I hope you have fun with these apps, happy image editing. Cheers!
