What Software do you use for Digital Photos?

Believe it or not, I have been accused of never talking about Windows. That’s an illusion. Apparently, there’s just not a lot of interesting Windows software out there anymore. If there is… you’re not telling me about it. How can I let everyone know about cool programs like this one if you don’t point me towards them? Send me links to the cool stuff you find, and I’ll be happy to talk about it.
PictoMio is more than just a digital photo manager. It happens to be a full-on suite of tools to help you clean up and organize your digital photos and videos. You can think of this as the way Picasa should be. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been using Picasa for years. But, Picasa has kind of fallen flat. They kind of stopped developing it. And now, along comes the free PictoMio, available for Windows only.
Pictomio easily manages thousands of media intensive image and video archives and groups your media according to orientation, time, type, size, rating, etc. Finally a tool to directly manage your videos. Along with viewing Thumbnails you can also rotate and zoom video. With the Library you can display photos by the date taken and EXIF values (e.g. type of camera) as well as sorted by category and album. With the integrated EXIF editor (Exchangeable image file format) you can see, edit and save the meta data of JPEG files.
Albums and categories are virtual folders which you can use to arrange your pictures regardless of their location on the hard drive. Example album: “My best vacation pictures” Browse through your pictures With the visually engaging 3D picture Carousel. The direction of motion can be controlled by the mouse. Pictomio simplifies the production of slide shows for you by using a drag-and-drop interface. By Using the capabilities of 3D graphics cards you can also integrate elaborate page transitions.
PictoMio is excellent software. It helps you work with your files to effectively and easily manage all of your digital files.

You gotta try Irfanview, the top of the heap.. I’ve been using it for years. Industrial strength freeware, less than 1 MB program size, Fast, powerful, intuitive, flexible, simple to learn.

Thanks for the heads up Chris. Great video. Pictomio definitely looks better than Picasa. I’ll have fun with it. Keep the free Windows Software coming.

Great programs for Windows? Celestia, the best astronomy program there is, very complete, realistic and fun; well, actually it’s not only for windows, it has his linux and Mac (I think) versions.
It makes use of your graphic card, and the more the RAM, the better.
I already told you about that program some time ago.
Regards,
Pedro

I use FastStone Image Viewer. It’s free for non-comercial use. Title says it’s viewer but is lot more than that. You can enhance image colors, gamma, brightnes,…, rotate, sharpen, blur, crop, make customized wallpapers, before-after review the results, batch convert with advanced options (my favourite), batch rename, folder-tree organized search, keyboard shortcuts, and lots of lots of other useful stuff.
Developer webaddress, details and download:

Honestly, I am a Photoshop user. I have CS3 and I have been working with graphics for about 5 years now, I have been trying very hard to make a career out of it. Photoshop allows for almost ALL types of work with photos and whatever else you use it for. It is a seamless form of photo design, and I love it, I truly do.

This honestly in my opinion is better and does what i need it to do. Convert pictures to different formats and it even opens up .psd files and digital camera raw images. It’s very nice and it even comes in a portable version.
