Softpedia Editor's Review for Portable FastStone Image Viewer
|
A fast, stable, user-friendly image browser, converter and editor
Written by Elena Opris on December 21st, 2011
This is the portable version of FastStone Image Viewer, a software that enables you to view, edit and convert pictures in an easy manner.
Since it is a portable product, FastStone Image Viewer doesn't need to be installed. So, you can place it on an external device and run it directly on any computer. Moreover, your Windows registry entries remain intact.
The user interface is intuitive and divided into three main areas - the file browser, preview window and thumbnail window.
When you open an image, it is automatically displayed in fullscreen, from where you can access several functions found in FastStone Image Viewer.
So, you can use the control bar to resize, rotate, clone, crop, heal the picture, adjust its lighting or take a screen capture, but you can also view file properties (e.g. EXIF metadata, hisogram).
In addition, you can quickly go through image files by using the thumbnail browser, as well as access editing tools (e.g. red eye removal, automatically adjust colors, adjust curves of images, apply effects).
FastStone Image Viewer also gives you the possibility to tag files, create and manage a favorites list, merge or split files with multiple pages, batch-convert pictures, and others.
The program uses a low amount of system CPU and memory, comes with a complete user guide and didn't freeze or crash during our tests. Overall, Portable FastStone Image Viewer provides a simple solution for viewing and quickly editing photos. We recommend it to all users.
