Softpedia Editor's Review for Ulead Photo Explorer
|
A complete visual organizer for digital photography and video
Written by Elena Opris on April 6th, 2012
Ulead Photo Explorer is a program designed to help you better manage your image and video files.
The software comes with a user-friendly interface in which you can use an Explorer-based layout to locate and access files.
So, you can rotate pictures and add them to a ZIP file, copy image content, set a description and rating, as well as auto rename them.
Moreover, you can view file properties, use a search function, change the thumbnail size, sort files (e.g. by name or type) and send them to the mail recipient.
In addition, you can rotate, flip, crop and convert pictures, automatically fix their levels, colors, brightness and contrast, modify their hue and focus, view a histogram, set the tone, remove the red eye effect and apply various filters (e.g. oil paint, watercolor, wind, ripple charcoal, noise).
Furthermore, you can create a slideshow and a favorites list, change the viewing mode (e.g. thumbnail or list mode), scan a CD, manage and synchronize albums, view an album calendar, add stamps and text to images, extract video sound to file, edit EXIF information, remove the read-only attribute, capture video and still images, and more.
The program uses a moderate amount of system resources, has a very good response time and didn't pop up any errors, freeze or crash during our tests. Unfortunately, we were not able to access the help file. The interface could use some improvements since it's a little outdated. Otherwise, we strongly recommend Ulead Photo Explorer to all users.
