SharpShot 1.1.1

SharpShot is a multi-platform picture editing software. It is meant for people who think Photoshop or Gimp are too cumbersome for everyday picture editing, while other simpler software like F-Spot or Windows Picture Manager are not powerful enough. SharpShot is meant to be a practical app that lets you edit many shots quickly, while giving you powerful and fast operations to match demanding photographers???*a*? needs.<br /><br />The design philosophy includes:<br /><br /> - original files are never modified, all modifications are made on distinct versions stored in separate files. This is very important for most photographers.<br /> - versioning is simple, only one version of an original file is active, and it will be the one displayed, uploaded, etc.<br /> - it does not try to scan all your pictures into a library and display them all. It only opens the files / folders you want to work on.<br /> - it makes available most operations that serious photographers need, and executes them fast on one or more pictures.<br /> - it offers previews and histograms for all operations.<br /><br />This application makes use of:<br /><br /> - Java???*a*?s SWING in order to run on every platform.<br /> - JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) to perform image operation extremely fast, taking full advantage of hardware acceleration.<br /> - SwingFast and JASIX libraries that make its code much shorter and cleaner.<br /><br />Features<br /><br />SharpShot???*a*?s main features include:<br /><br /> - ability to open entire folders with pictures, and edit them as a batch<br /> - automatic versioning of modified image, always keeping the original file untouched<br /> - full set of basic image operation including cropping, resizing, rotating<br /> - full set of image improvement tools including brightness, contrast and colors<br /> - full set of advanced operations including sharpening, blur, noise reduction<br /> - extra tools including mosaic creation, red-eye removal, watermarking<br /> - all image modifications offer preview, histogram, and batch operation<br /> - fast undo, redo, history of changes<br /> - effects can be applied on a rectangular or a circular sub-selection of the image<br /> - picture metadata (EXIF) browser<br /> - upload to Flickr or Picasa, export to Zipped folder<br /> - automatic save of preferences and usage settings<br /> - efficient keyboard shortcuts<br /> - runs identically on all platforms: Windows, Linux, MacOS<br />
