IdPhotos 2008

IdPhotos 2008 is a program designed to help you seamlessly process digital pictures for passports, ID cards and Visa cards, among other important documents. It can be used even by inexperienced individuals.

The interface of the application is professional-looking and easy to work with; you can get started by selecting the type of the ID photo and by importing the image via the file browser ('drag and drop' is not supported). Working with multiple items at the same time is not possible.

You can rotate the picture and edit its filename. IdPhotos 2008 requires you to assign the facial features to the image, in order to deliver accurate results. These focus on the eye pupils, chin and crown.

Plus, you can crop the photograph, select a layout from several presets (which can be edited) and make coloring adjustments (hue channels, density, gamma, contrast, saturation). Settings can be saved as default or restored to their initial values. Once the procedure is done, you can save the final photo to file (JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF) or into the photo repository.

From the 'Options' screen you can specify the automatic rotation direction and maximum number of pictures in the repository, along with the default folders for the repository and page layouts.

The image processing tool runs on a high amount of system resources, includes user documentation, supports several UI languages and has a good response time. No error dialogs have been displayed throughout our testing and IdPhotos 2008 did not freeze or crash.
