These programs allow you to
preview images
as well as manage and
rename files. Some of them also contain a
file browser
similar to Windows
Explorer so you can create new folders and copy images. Some offer a
batch
processing
tool, which will enable you to rename an entire image series or
create
screen slides
.
Most of these programs provide options for
image correction
, including
tools for modifying and adjusting orientation, brightness, contrast, image
size, and resolution.
In addition, these programs possess
printing options
, which allow you
to output contact prints, image packages, or to print several images onto one
page. If you use Windows, you'll find similar options if you launch the
Photo
Printing Wizard
. In Windows XP, the wizard is located in the left window, under
Picture Tasks.
Just click
Print Pictures
. In Windows Vista and Windows 7, you will
find similar options in the
Print
menu in the
Photo Gallery
.
