Dani

Dani might be confused with a name of a person, in many areas around the world. In this case, Dani is a nifty program that creates transparent versions of any image. Besides that, it lets the user modify a picture by applying various effects to it.

Dani comes in what can be considered candy wrapping. The unusual, yet sparkling interface might be confusing at first, but that is not a lasting effect. After a closer look, the program proves easy to handle, with its options neatly arranged inside its boundaries.

The transparency slider falls under the "opacity" designation and comes with values from 1 to 255. As for the other effects, they are placed at the right of the opacity feature and include transparency styles like white, black, red green, blue, and top-left.

Moreover, those interested in smoothing edges out have a feathering function that can help with transition tasks or simply get rid of rough edges.

Additional filters, like sepia, gray, and noise, can be applied from the bottom bar, including image flipping, mirroring, or inverting.

make sure the images you are loading are formatted as PNG, GIF, JPG, GIF, JPEG, BMP, and TEA. Any other file type might not be supported. As for the output routine, the tool can only generate PNGs.

Any change brought to an image can be previewed before getting to save it. The WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) aspect is a nice touch when you need to know how the final product will end up looking.

Dani is an interesting tool designed for low to medium-level image editing. Its main focus is opacity or transparency, but it also comes with a range of filters and effects that might prove useful when dealing with images.
