Brush Strokes Image Editor is a simple tool that lets you edit pictures.
The software doesn't needs to be installed, so it's portable. Your Windows registry will not be affected and you can place Brush Strokes Image Editor on a removable device to run on any computer.
Its user interface is minimalistic and not particularly impressive. You can open files in several formats (e.g. BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF), including AVI. The "drag and drop" method is supported.
So, you can use basic tools, such as clear, undo, redo, copy, cut, paste and crop selection, but you can also paint the background, set transparency, enable linear interpolation and adjust color tolerance.
Furthermore, you can use pens and brushes, lenses and filters, selections, transformations, frame tools, plugin filters, text and font, palette and the grayscale effect.
But you can also change the size of the picture, swap frames, switch to full screen mode, adjust colors, capture an image from camera, get a frame from video, view image information, and more.
The application uses a low-to-moderate amount of system resources and didn't freeze or crash during our tests. It doesn't contain a help file and the "Undo" button can take you only one step back. Also, there are no keyboard shortcuts available.
All in all, Brush Strokes Image Editor is a simplistic tool for editing images and can be especially used by beginners. But if you are looking for something more advanced, then you should try something else.
