Change the resolution, orientation, format and name of a single image or a collection in a comfortable and easy way.
Even advanced operations like removing meta informations, flipping, resizing unproportionally or sorting your images are easy to manage.
Furthermore the used drag'n'drop technique simplifies the selection of wanted files.
The key feature is the pure easiness. For example you can change the resolution just with some clicks.
Main Features
    * modify multiple images just with one single click
    * rename and sort in various ways
    * shrink and/or enlarge the resolution to a dimension or by a percentage
    * change the orientation: flip or rotate the images
    * optional changing of the file format
    * extra options for jpg files: remove meta infos, set compression
    * advanced resize options: ignore a dimension, resize unproportional
    * rename & replace or save at a self-chosen location
    * multilingualism: English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Swedish and Romanian
    * portable: extremely small, just one executable, no installation
    * free of charge!

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.
It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc.
GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins 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.
GIMP is written and developed under X11 on UNIX platforms. But basically the same code also runs on MS Windows and Mac OS X.

          - Foreground extraction tool
          - Advanced path tool doing bezier and polygonal selections.
          - Transformable paths, transformable selections.
          - Quickmask to paint a selection.
    * Extensible
          - A Procedural Database for calling internal GIMP functions from external programs as in Script-fu
          - Advanced scripting capabilities (Scheme, Python, Perl)
          - Plug-ins which allow for the easy addition of new file formats and new effect filters
          - Over 100 plug-ins already available
    * Animation
          - Load and save animations in a convenient frame-as-layer format
          - MNG support
          - Frame Navigator (in GAP, the GIMP Animation Package)

Cornice Portable 0.6.1.2: view your images anywhere

. Saturday, October 17, 2009

Cornice is a cross-platform image viewer written in Python + wxPython + PIL. It doesn't pretend to be complete, fast, or even useful, but I like it and it is the viewer I use on both Linux and Windows. It has been inspired by the famous Windows-only ACDSee.

Why did I write it? Well, because I like ACDSee, but it's not free and it doesn't run on Linux, which is my main platform. There already exists an ACDsee-like viewer, GTKSee, but it is unmaintained and it lacks some features I wanted (bookmarks, a good keyboard navigation and zooming). First I tried to add such features to it, but then I decided to rewrite it from scratch, so that I could use it also on windows (and also because I had some troubles, especially when trying to port GTKSee to the gdk_pixbuf lib, and also because Python is more fun than C, and... ;-)

NEWS: Development of Cornice has stopped. See the Development section below for more details.
Features
Here is a list of the main features of Cornice:

    * Fully cross-platform: it should run wherever wxPython does;
    * Detail and thumbnail view for images;
    * Image preview;
    * Automatic recognition of images, with a variety of formats supported;
    * Bookmarks;
    * Full-screen view;
    * Zooming and rotation;
    * Slideshow;
    * Good keyboard navigation (still not perfect, but this is true for all the features ;-);
    * Image loading from zip archives;
    * i18n support (with Italian and French translations available);
    * EXIF data support;
    * Some more...
