szoter

Picture files on your computer can come from quite the variety of sources. On the one hand, they can be the result of camera shots you transfer on the PC. On the other hand, it can simply be a screenshot of particular regions of the screen. As such, szoter comes with a set of processing, and even capture tools.

First of all, you need to make sure that Adobe AIR, and Adobe Flash Player are both installed on your computer to be able to deploy, and run the application. As far as the visual design is concerned, features are wrapped around a custom-made, appealing interface which poses little to no accommodation problems.

You’re prompted by a load option for pictures. Multiple sources are at your disposal, such as a desktop screenshot, picture taken with the webcam, image loaded from a website, or a file on your computer under formats like JPG and PNG. Depending on your choice, you’re first taken through the capture procedure, after which you end up in the edit area.

The canvas is neat, with emphasis on the picture through an interactive preview area, as well as several panels which provide quick access to drawing tools, color selection, and file operations. You’re free to use a different picture, and even save under different formats once you’re done.

One of the first tools you encounter is cropping, and it comes under the form of an adjustable, movable rectangle over the picture. It’s also possible to draw lines, shapes, and add text based on color specifications. Every object can be selected and manipulated, or have layer priority configured.

Apart from the basic options to save your creation, the application also provides a method to share your picture. A link is generated for anyone to get a preview in the web browser, as well as links to embed the image in your HTML projects.

Bottom line is that picture processing is a common operation nowadays, and szoter is a practical, intuitive application with which to enhance, crop, and share images. Even though you can only process one picture at a time, tools and share options are sure to make the whole experience worth your while.
