Image Styler

Image Styler is an approachable application that helps create nice drawings using the pencil and the fill function, modify, correct and enhance poor-quality photos. Plus, you can make GIFs using a suite of images.

The program provides a user-friendly interface structured into the editing pad, a thumbnail view of all the loaded images, and a rich menu, which stacks all the necessary options to edit your photo. Image Styler supports standard formats, like JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF or GIF, and those less known, such as TARGA, CUT, PCD, PBM and PCX.

You can load your pictures using the file browser. However, the app doesn't offer the option to use the drag-and-drop method to quickly insert the images or to view the recently accessed items. To view specific details, you can fit or center the photo to the window or use the scale to zoom in.

It's possible to view the information of a photo like size, resolution, height and width, as well as input additional details (e.g. date and time, type, artist, copyright, short description). You can paint using the fill tool or pencil and pick a color from the image.

You can adjust the picture's attributes by moving the sliders for brightness, contrast, gamma and invert to the desired value. The tool also comes with a nice selection of filters, such as blur, smooth, edge, sharpen, emboss, smooth and mosaic.

Plus, you can rotate the image to a custom angle or choose the default parameters (90, 180, 270 degrees) and flip it vertically or horizontally. The output can be saved as JPG, GIF, BMP and PNG image formats.

To sum it up, Image Styler is a reliable program that comes in handy when you want to create simple drawings, edit and enhance photos using the offered filters and adjustments.
