Softpedia Editor's Review for ALSee
|
View, edit your digital photos and create slideshows from them
Written by Elena Opris on May 19th, 2012
ALSee is a simple-to-use software designed to help you easily manage and edit your favorite image files.
The interface of the program is clean and intuitive. You can use the Explorer-based layout to locate and access photographs.
So, you can add items to a photo library, create a slideshow, rotate, convert and resize images, set them as wallpaper and check out file properties.
But you can also view a picture in full screen mode, read pixel information and rename files, as well as make image adjustments (e.g. sharpen, saturation, brightness, contrast, film grain).
In addition, you can zoom in and out, add text, display bubbles, add frames, insert stamp, remove the red eye effect, and others.
Furthermore, you can edit files in batch mode (resize, rotate, rename or convert), create movies, enable ALSee to delete without prompting for confirmation, configure slideshow options (e.g. use background music), make file associations, set the thumbnail size, and more. Settings can be restored to their default values.
The software runs on a low-to-moderate amount of system resources, contains a comprehensive help file with snapshots and has a very good response time. We haven't come across any issues during our tests, since ALSee did not freeze, crash or pop up errors, and strongly recommend it to all user levels.
