From: Bob Adkins on 2 Jul 2010 08:51 Hornil StylePix Portable Graphics Editor 1.5.0.1850 I recall trying this program years back, but IIRC it was Shareware. Don't know when it went Freeware, but it's totally clean and hassle free. The program is a 1.5mb download, packed in 7z archive. It extracts to 7.7mb. The program feels light and fast. It has plenty of tools, but probably has a fairly steep learning curve for those of us who use PhotoFiltre. The fancy tool pickers/sliders can be hidden by sliding them to the left. Simple operations like adjusting brightness and contrast took a while to find the first time. There seems to be keyboard shortcuts for a lot of things. For example, the left and right braces ([]) adjust line and brush width. Online help is good. This could possibly be the only graphics editor I need, because the capabilities are far beyond PhotoFiltre and Paint.NET. If I ever warm up to the uncolorful GUI, I may say goodbye to them both. But I doubt it. http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/Multimedia/Graphics/StylePix-Portable.shtml |
