personally when looking at any app I want to know what it does, & what's the cost - not just in dollars, but total cost from disk space to learning curve to does it mess with my Windows install.
Image convert plus driver#
driver installed just as a demo and watermark is obtained in Print."Īs in the directions, you need to start the app, go to Help -> About -> Click the activate button -> paste the key from the readme.txt file.Īt any rate, I wasn't aware my bias was *that* apparent & I'll try to do better :-). If you want to do more than that, like editing, stick with IrfanView. If you want to setup customized profiles, then right-click convert images using your profiles, maybe you'll like today's GOTD. #29: "Is this prog better than IrfanView?"ĭepends on what you want/need since IMHO they don't *directly* compete. Besides, between you & Ashraf & several others, Fubar, there's usually more than enough pros/cons posted.
Image convert plus plus#
I *try* to limit details of added files/folders/reg entries so they're not too terribly excessive, but still give an idea of impact plus a hint of where to look for leftovers if/when someone uninstalled the GOTD.
Image convert plus install#
Extracting setup file components & monitoring install is just what I do, & since it's sometimes time consuming, feel sharing the results might save someone else some time.
Add in that the best it has to offer for re-sizing is bi-linear, & I'm even less impressed.īut that's me, & I do try to eliminate my own bias, & just present what info I have so everyone can make up their own mind, & of course in hopes that at least some of it's useful to someone. With Image Converter Plus for example, compared to IrfanView & XnView the right click profile access isn't worth the cost in disk space, the (relatively light, but still there) addition to registry bloat, & the fact I can't install it anywhere, everywhere, any time. :-)Īt any rate, I wasn't aware my bias was *that* apparent & I'll try to do better :-). No offense even hinted at, I'm amused that you consider reading the EULA more important that what an app install does to Windows. The EULA was written by an over-zealous lawyer." The install was clean, but no doubt mike will complain that it actually adds files and registry entries to your computer. Even Photoshop (which I use a lot), also fails at the fifth pass (the same time as Image Converter Plus).Īre there other freeware options that can do the same? - Though there are many freeware alternatives available that achieve a decent result after the first pass or two, I have found none that will pass this test past level 3.
Why black-and-white you might ask? Gray shading seems to be the hardest thing to duplicate for any program I have tested. Facial features suffer from degradation faster than any photograph I have ever used for this test. I have also run the same process using a color photograph with the same characteristics as the one mentioned above and with near the same result, still quite impressive.įor those who are wondering what type of photographs I used, it was that of the face of a child. I was quite impressed with Image Converter Plus, the program took five of these repetitions before any serious degradation of the photograph (minor blurring of features) had occurred. Most programs don't make it past the second stretching before serious degradation has evolved (Format Factory, though one of my favorites, has fallen into this category). It is the speed at which this degradation occurs that is the nature of this test. As most would note as with any photograph that is stretched, compressed, stretched and compressed again Serious Degradation usually occurs. For the programs that that passed this first step I continue to compress and re-stretch the image until the program fails to produce a good-quality image. The resulting quality should still be good or the program has failed and is not worth reviewing further. This test consists of how the program handles stretching of a black-and-white image (1600x1200 24 Bit Depth 600ppi) to 300 times its original size, JPG 24(True Color,YCbCr)Bpp image quality 100, compression mode baseline (1:1:1(11:11:11) default), quality should be good, then recompressing the image back down to its original size and back to 300 times its size again. Any converting program has to pass a baseline test for me.
