ImageBlender

ImageBlender is a complex yet easy-to-learn application, which provides a professional way to create and customize your photos using a wide variety of painting elements and predefined effects.

Make sure you are not running anything else in the background as the setup might take more than normal, and pay attention to each step as you may find yourself with some unnecessary programs installed on your drive. The interface is accessible and user-friendly with the drawing tools on the left side of the window, the most used commands on the upper part, the working area, and the effect section is positioned on the right.

You can add a new file by defining the values for width and height, the resolution in pixels or inches, as well as the background color-filled or transparent. An existing photo can be opened by browsing its location on the computer. Recently edited items can be easily re-opened from the menu. By accessing the "Pics4Learning" feature, you have the possibility to insert the desired image from the vast categories like animals, architecture, education, or maps.

The tool comes with a basic brush, whose size, color and softness can be customized to correspond best with your tastes. You can insert lines, geometrical shapes (e.g. rectangles, circles, polygons) or arrows that can be color solid or just outlined.Gradient or monochrome tones can be used to create impressive combinations for the drawing foreground, while default symbols such as stars, balloons or cubes can be painted over.

Filters can be picked from a large array, which comes organized in distinct groups, like artistic (graphical pen, pastels), enchantment (e.g. brightness, saturation, sharpen), or photographic to offer a more modern or vintage look. Text can be inserted, by selecting the font type, style or alignment. Moreover, the tool lets you rotate photos by 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, zoom in and out, fit to screen, as well as flip them horizontally or vertically.

Least but not least, the program has the ability to convert numerous folders to a specific image type, maintaining the original size or scaling them to particular dimensions. Multiple layers can be merged into a single one, and the output exported to JPG, BMP, PNG format, decreasing the size, but keeping the high-quality.

Taking everything into consideration, ImageBlender is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use utility that provides an efficient method to create surreal paintings, and can be used to just edit an existing picture using a broad range of effects and elements.
