			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/windows_software.jpg" alt="windows software" title="windows software" width="128" height="128" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-16120" />Digital Image Tool is a free digital image processing software that has been specifically designed to batch process images. The developers state that it is a portable software program although it is only supplied as an installer which is somewhat confusing. It is likely that the software can be copied anywhere after the initial installation but it would probably be better if a portable version of the software program would be offered on the developer&#8217;s homepage as well.</p>
<p>The digital image processing software can be used to load and process multiple images and photos.  The images that are loaded into the software are displayed in the left sidebar with the selected image being show in a preview area on the right.</p>
<p><span id="more-16702"></span>Basic options to process the image are available including rotating or cropping the image. A link to the default image editor on the system can be added to quickly open the image in that editor for advanced image processing.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/digital_image_processing-500x353.jpg" alt="digital image processing" title="digital image processing" width="500" height="353" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-16703" /></p>
<p>The lower part of the screen contains two tabs that offer additional options and settings. The save location, file type and quality can be configured in the first tab while the second one contains resizing options. Multiple images can be selected at once to process them together. That&#8217;s an interesting option for users who want to rotate, crop or resize several images in short time.</p>
<p>The digital image processing software is semi-automatic. There are tools out there that need to be configured once and will apply the configured settings to all images that have been loaded into the software. This tool gives the user more control over the process.</p>
<p>The Digital Image Tool is compatible with the Windows operating system and can be <a href="http://www.digitalimagetool.com/">downloaded</a> from the developer&#8217;s website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Image Analyzer is a portable image processing tool that can be used to analyze, edit and enhance images. It is not comparable to a fully fledged image editor like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP but it is able to stand its ground on many levels. Especially the editing and enhancement features are worth a closer inspection.</p>
<p>After loading an image into Image Analyzer the operations menu becomes available which is basically the central menu of the image processing software. It provides access to basic editing features like resizing, red eye removal or rotating the image.</p>
<p>Other features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatic brightness, contrast, gamma and saturation adjustment</li>
<li>Retouch tools</li>
<li>Deconvolution for out-of-focus and motion blur compensation</li>
<li>Morphological operations</li>
<li>Color model conversion</li>
<li>Distance, Fourier and discrete cosine transformation</li>
<li>Retinex filter for reducing shadows and increasing local contrast</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-7010"></span>Image Analyzer is plugin driven and the software developer provides links to several plugins on their website that can be added by simply moving them into the ProcessingPlugins folder of the application. Image processing plugins like Combine for High Dynamic Range, 3D modeling, batch processing and Fractal interpolation are available and make up fine additions to image analyzer.</p>
<p>The image processing tool has build in camera, scanner and printer support and runs fine on most Microsoft operating systems. To be precise it runs fine on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. The size of Image Analyzer is 800 Kilobytes packed.</p>
