Target JPG file size for resizing and format conversion |
| |
If you need picture files in JPG format not bigger than a specified file size this option available for picture resize and format conversion actions will do the job. To use the option simply enable Max file size option and set the target file size. In that case the program optimizes JPG compression to get a file size close to your target. There is a price to pay for this convenience of course. Processing pictures with Max file size option enabled will take significantly longer time. Also, when you put a constraint on file size you can not control picture quality. Therefore if you have a large resolution picture and small target file size you may end up with poor output picture quality so use this option with care. |

Lossless rotation |
| |
In addition to four standard output picture qualities for JPG format there is now so called lossless rotation option in the picture Rotate dialog. When that option is enabled the rotated output picture will be of the same quality as the original. |

Cropping pictures |
| |
Crop function includes free rectangular selection, fixed size crop area and keep aspect option to constrain proportions while selecting crop area. Please note that you can do cropping for only one picture at a time so even if you make multiple picture selection in Windows Explorer the program will allow you to crop only one of them. |

Effects & Filters |
| |
Effects and filters show up as the new option in the right-click context menu. Currently available are grayscale, invert colors and sepia. Grayscale transforms the original picture so colors contained in the output picture are only black, white, or any shade of gray. Invert colors creates a color negative of the original picture so all color values in the output picture are inverted values of colors contained in the original. Sepia is a brown pigment used in the past for printing photographs. The effect is popular in digital photography as well. |
