This software package provides an all-in-one solution for viewing and managing graphics files. It includes a player, file manager, explorer, batch image processor, editor, converter, album and organizer, batch unzipper, multimedia slide show editor, duplicate finder, web page generator, and HTML cataloger.
One of the best features of AiPICX is its advanced batch image processing and conversion capabilities. These tools allow even novice photo enthusiasts to easily correct images for brightness, contrast, saturation, and other visual metrics. This feature includes elements typically found only in expensive commercial applications, such as variable equalization and remapping, unsharp mask, histogram analyses, masked bitmap operations, contrast restoration, and more.
The software also offers a powerful Slide Album that enables users to quickly thumbnail entire drives or offline CD/DVD volumes while organizing images based on visual content, date, size, or keyword. Proprietary image analysis algorithms within the software even enable users to quantify and rank picture quality for more efficient organization.
AiPICX includes a batch rename, rename by date, move, and delete function that effortlessly integrates with its Explorer. The software also includes a Batch UnZipper that allows you to extract multiple ZIPs unattended.
Creating slideshows on AiPICX is a breeze with the option to choose from 173 cool effects and a variety of properties per slide, such as variable delays, windows-in-windows, gamma, background color, rotation, and comments. Format support includes PNG, PhotoCD, Photoshop, FPX, GIF, BMP, PCX, TGA, WMF, DCX, Multi-page TIF, MP3, WAV, AVI, MPEG, FLAC, MIDI, CD audio, OGG, WMV, WMA, APE, and more!
The software's speedy viewer is unmatched, including gamma, widescreen, zooming, and fit-to-window options. In addition, the JPEG Wizard creates tiny, high-quality files that help save storage space. Users can easily make beautiful collages by utilizing the grid and viewport functions. AiPICX also includes common imaging tools like red-eye removal, JPEG comments, and EXIF camera data, TWAIN, instant wallpaper creation, variably-sized and positioned prints, smooth resizing, rotate-by-degree, borders, variable image text, auto color correction, and more!
In summary, I would highly recommend Ai Picture Explorer (AiPICX) to any digital photo enthusiast looking for professional-level software that is both affordable and easy to use.
