an image viewer with some nice editing capabilitiesGraphX Viewer, 863Kbadjust the color (brightness, contrast, gamma)An undo command lets you set things back to the way things were before you used any of these goodies. Pictures can be saved in any of the formats or as a postscript or encapsulated postscript file. Options are available for each format. For example, you can save a gif as a 16 color rather than 256 color. The editing features are great-- it's easy to forget GraphX is mainly a viewer. Just remmeber you can't edit the individual pixels, draw circles, rectangles, add text, etc. And you can't start a new blank picture, or add blank space to an existing one. Paintbrush can be used to supplement GraphX Viewer's editing limitations because it can do what GraphX can't. Just keep the file in .bmp format which both these programs can read until you are all done. Then just save the picture in whatever format you want the final product in. A handy thumbnail feature creates and displays a thumbnail catalog of picture files and directories you select. Each thumbnail is quite viewable, and not just a blurry little mess like many thumbnails. This feature is very nice for picking out a picture from a bunch of files, or viewing a picture collection. Click on a thumbnail, and the full sized image is displayed. GraphX Tips: Scrolling a picture is slow if you use the arrows at the end of the scroll bar. It's much faster to scroll using the handle (the square that moves along the "track" of the scroll bar) or by clicking on the areas between the handle and the arrows. If you want to make transparent GIF try Hugh's Gif Tool to transparentize it. |
