AI Picture Utility 8.5.0

Ai Picture Utility (AiPICT) views, edits, enhances, manages and organizes photos -- plays multimedia too. It is created for speed and simplicity; novices will avoid learning curves while professionals will appreciate its advanced batch image processing and conversion capabilities. Included Batch UnZipper. extracts multiple ZIPs unattended + batch rename, move.
Its Slide Album (new) can quickly find and thumbnail entire drives (or offline volumes on CD or DVD) and organize images by visual content to find modified duplicates -- aside from database queries by date, size, keyword ... Our proprietary Image Analysis routines can quantify and rank picture quality. You can also create impressive slideshows (or presentations) with choice of 173 cool effects, variable delays, windows-in-windows, gamma, background color, rotation, comments and other properties (per slide).
Our speedy viewer is unmatched; includes gamma, widescreen, zooming, fit-to-window options. JPEG Wizard creates tiny, high-quality files. Aside from standard cut and paste functions, its grid and viewport makes collage creation a breeze. Image tools include "red eye" removal; TWAIN cameras, scanners; instant wallpaper; variably-sized prints; smooth resizing; rotate-by-degree; screen capture; descreening; borders, image text (with variables), automatic color correction, unique smoothing and sharpening functions -- all of which can combine in vast sequences to fix (e.g., backlighting, over-exposure, under-exposure) or enhance any image (e.g., glamour photography). See Tutorial.
