VISCOM Photo

VISCOM Photo is a powerful, yet simple-to-use photo editing application that allows you to put together a collage and convert the images into other formats in batch mode. Although it seems complicated to work with, the tool comes packed with intuitive options that should be easy to figure out, even by users less experienced with such apps.

The installation procedure does not take a long time to finish. As far as the interface is concerned, VISCOM Photo opts for a regular window with a plain and simple GUI, where you can use the Explorer-based folder structure to navigate directories and select images. There are two panes dedicated to creating a photo collage and converting images in batch mode, respectively.

For the collage you can arrange the pictures, send selected items to the back or bring them to the front, as well as control the background by changing it into one of the supported styles. Its layout can be altered in terms of width and height, and the collage can be saved to JPEG format.

As for the photo converter, you can add multiple files to the task list, preview the pictures, as well as convert them to BMP, JPG, DCX, DIB, GIF, PCD, PCX, PNG, PSD, TGA and TIF format, and establish the quality (for JPG and PNG only).

It is possible to wrap the photos in frames (numerous presets are available) or borders (custom background color and round size), resize them by pixels and choose the interpolation mode (Bicubic, Bilinear, Nearest Neighbor), apply filters (auto contrast, sharpness, brightness, sepia, grayscale), as well as insert embed other photos or text on the images.

The tool does not put a strain on computer performance, since it runs on low CPU and RAM. It has a good response time to commands, carries out conversion jobs rapidly, and delivers quality photos. No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the program did not hang or crash.

To sum it up, VISCOM Photo comes packed with a surprisingly rich set of customization settings for creating photo collages and converting images in batch mode, and it can be handled by all types of users.
