Windows has a basic photo editor, but what if you have an image format that's not supported? Many of the more powerful photo editors out there that handle any image type have a steep learning curve.
That doesn't mean you have to resort to sharing photos that haven't reached their full potential.
There's a way you can edit your photos, turn them into slideshows and do so much more from just one program. You'll wonder how you adjusted your photos without it.
XnView is a simple program that supports over 500 image formats to make your photos more manageable. It can also organize and edit photos, as well as convert your photos to a more manageable format.
It's simple enough to view a file or thumbnail. Just click on a thumbnail to see the basic info about the photo. To edit your photo, double-click the thumbnail to open the photo in a new tab in XnView.
From here you can crop, resize, color-correct, eliminate red-eye and do so much more to perfect your favorite photos. You can also save and print your photos from XnView.
Want to spice things up a bit? You can turn your family vacation or holiday get-together into a slide-show of your favorite photos. Just click the slideshow icon and select your photos to display. You can even set music to your brand-new slideshow.
XnView is provided as FREEWARE (NO Adware, NO Spyware) for private or educational use (including non-profit organizations).
The free version comes in 3 versions: minimal, standard and extended.
I chose the extended installation as it has the most features
When the installation is complete you can access XnView through the new desktop icon. You will need to set the configuration wizard before proceeding.
I recommend checking the first box labeled "Display all image file types" and changing the "Check update" drop-down bar to "Weekly." Click "OK" to continue.
If you enjoy using XnView, Don't hesitate to help the developer with a small donation.
