On setup needed to run the application

The utility comes packed with all the necessary core files into a small archive that can be either extracted or dropped directly into an external drive and run without prior installation on any computer. The program is wrapped in a clear-cut and accessible interface with an action log at the bottom of the screen, the working area and a standard toolbar that includes the most commonly used commands.

Crop unnecessary elements and improve the quality of the file

To open a file, just browse its location on your computer and it's automatically loaded into the panel in its original size. The supported formats are JPEG, JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, ASC and GIF. If you are not happy with the result, or you made a mistake, you can use the undo function to go back to the previous design. If you wish to view a specific detail, the tool lets you zoom in and out, fit the image to the screen, as well as flip it horizontally or vertically and freely crop it to the desired dimension.Plus, it's possible to rotate the photo to any angles, convert it to greyscale, RGB and RGBA. You have the option to browse through all the items in the folder using the navigational arrows and toggle to full-screen. You can enhance the image's attributes by adjusting the sharpen and blur to the desired values, as well as apply different effects, such as negative, gradient, noise, dilate, erode and more.
