ZoomBrowser EX

ZoomBrowser EX is a powerful image manipulation tool that allows you to transfer images from a digital camera and manage them with minimum effort. The program is designed for the Canon digital camera owners who need to organize and edit their photos.

The first step for organizing the images is to transfer them from the camera’s memory or SD card on your hard drive. ZoomBrowser EX is designed to handle a large number of images by automatically organizing them into groups according to the shooting date.

By default, the photos are stored in the Windows default image folder but the program allows you to add other folders from your hard drive in order to easily transfer images between your favorite locations.

The application includes an advanced search tool which uses the photo EXIF data to identify the one you are looking for. The search results can be refined by personalizing images with comments, keywords and ratings.

If you need to adjust the image, there is no need for an additional editor as this program allows you to adjust the colors, remove red eye effects, trim the unwanted margins and even add a text or date watermark. The Export feature offers the option to resize the photos and change the file format to BMP, JPG or TIFF.

Since the digital cameras are also able to record movies, the ZoomBrowser EX comes with video manipulation tools. It is able to extract frames, adjust the movie orientation and configure the sound or image quality before exporting them as AVI or MOV files.

Moreover, the Export feature includes the ability to combine multiple images and movies in order to generate video slideshows or screensavers. While the screensaver requires only a few clicks, the movie can be personalized with image filters, transition effects and sound files.

To sum up, ZoomBrowser EX provides a large variety of tools for organizing, editing and converting digital images that are often found in more than one program. You should give it a try before installing other image processing tools.
