Software Description:
Helicon Filter is a powerful graphic editingapplication that comes packed with several interesting features forboth novices and experienced users.
The interface of the application is attractive, clean andintuitive. You can use either the Explorer-based layout, filebrowser or “drag and drop” method to import photos.
But you can also work on samples, publish pictures to web, setGPS coordinates, set an image as wallpaper, zoom in and out, andswitch to full screen mode.
So, you can make various image adjustments which include resize,brightness, color balance, noise, sharpening, distortions (e.g.skew, barrel correction, bend horizon), text (e.g. file name, fullshooting info, date and time watermark), retouching (e.g. red eyereduction, blur) and frames.
In addition, you can view image information, rotate, mirror andcopy pictures, use a color profile, save a set of filters forfurther use, change the interface color scheme and language, mergefocused areas, reduce noise by averaging, add the current image orfolder to the queue, and more.
In “Preferences” you can change the background color and resamplemethod, select the size of the magnifying glass, enable HeliconFilter to automatically rotate images when opening and to adjustthe brightness of the magnifying glass, allow multiple instances,and others. Settings can be restored to their default values.
The graphic editing tool supports several keyboard shortcuts,requires a pretty high amount of system resources, includes awell-written help file with snapshots and has a very good responsetime. No errors have occurred during our tests and we highlyrecommend Helicon Filter to all user levels.
