(desc. rev.: 2005-11-27)The Gimp
(Donationware) (free) (open source: GNU GPL)
Windows OS: Windows
Other OS: Linux; Unix
Languages: English
Description: GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It can be used as a simple paint program, a expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, a image format converter, etc. GIMP is extremely expandedable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plugins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted. NOTES: Because of patent issues with the LZW compression algorithm the installer does not install the ability to save GIF files. (Yes, I know that the Unisys patent has expired in the US. Not so in other countries, though.) To be able to do this, make sure that either you are in a country where Unisys doesn't have a patent on the LZW algorithm, or that you have a license from Unisys. Then download the file gimp-gif-1.2.5.zip (http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/gimp-gif-1.2.5.zip) (from a server in Finland). Unzip and put the gif.exe in your GIMP plug-ins folder.

Viewer; Image Optimizer Free Digital Camera Enhancer
(Liteware) (free)
Windows OS: Windows
Languages: English
Description: Free DCE does the hard job of noise reducing and automatic balance control for you. The program works best if you have bad light condition (indoor, shadows etc..) and your image is somehow off. So if some of your images are already fine, you won't see much difference. DCE makes very delicate changes... One thing makes DCEnhancer different from other tools - reducing the noise and skin smoothing algorithm. It makes DCE ideal for making cool portraits and close-ups!
