ReverentCreature Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 What do you all use for cropping photos easily. (e.g. 4:3) and doing things like brightness and contrast? We used to use Microsoft Office Picture Manager but that was lost when we updated to Microsoft Office 2013 I deployed Live Photo Gallery a few years back but that now crashes on Win7 SP1 and Win8.1.
maark Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 paint.net is pretty easy to use for cropping - tend to put it on image though as not easy to roll out
win Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Paint does it, although i agree Microsoft Office Picture Manager was the best basic editor. Shame they didn't include it in 2013
X-13 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I use GIMP. Partially because I sort-of know what I'm doing, but mostly because I get to say "GIMP" while at work. 2
LosOjos Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 IrfanView is a great tool for basic image manipulations and it can do batch processing too: IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide
LiamH Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I would second irfanView, faststone (free for edu) is also quite good if you don't like irfanView for some strange reason. FastStone Image Viewer - Powerful and Intuitive Photo Viewer, Editor and Batch Converter
themightymrp Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 A fourth vote for irfanview. Dead easy and opens practically any format
yugo Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) I have used a little program called jpegcrops before. Edited March 18, 2015 by yugo
gerardsweeney Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 5th for Irfan. Absolutely essential tool for batch processing. Also does JPEG lossless manipulation as well.
MrMat Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Just to add another to the list: Photoscape. It's free and has plenty of features (batch editing, GIF creator, RAW conversion etc)
sonofsanta Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 IrfanView has been my quick 'n' easy tool of choice for well over a decade now. Set Photoshop as an external editor and you can open the current image in Photoshop with a single key press (Ctrl+E) for when you want to do something a bit more serious to a file.
