Olympus Viewer is a software utility developed specifically to help people view, print and edit photos from their hard drive.

The installation process does not bring any surprises, and upon completing it, you are greeted by a modern-looking and intuitive interface. This means that it can be used even by people with no prior experience with computers.

In addition to that, it consists of a folder structure, a panel in which to preview pictures, a selection box, several shortcut buttons and a menu bar

This software tool can be shown in different modes, namely the viewer and the edit ones. The first enables you to add entire folders of images and see them as thumbnails or on the entire screen. It is possible to cut, copy, paste and rotate files, as well as upload them to social networking platforms such as Facebook, Flickr and YouTube. Aside from that, you can set a photo as a wallpaper or access tools such as Auto-Panorama, or a resize and convert one.

In the edit window, you can insert text, zoom in and out, remove red eyes, correct fisheye and flip images. Plus, you can tweak the gamma, colors, brightness, contrast and saturation, as well as use noise reduction, distortion correction, shading compensation and sharpness tools.

With this program, you can also capture images from movies, fade in and out, cut movies or merge frames.

Once you are done with editing, you can save the files to the HDD in JPG, TIFF and BMP formats, while also selecting compression quality and resolution.

Taking all of this into consideration, it becomes apparent that Olympus Viewer is a useful and complex piece of software for viewing, managing and editing photographs, which does not put a strain on your PC’s resources.
