imagoWEB

In these times when tons of pictures are uploaded on the web on a daily basis, editors started to flourish, with an abundance of applications you can use to adjust, or completely alter pictures. In this regard, imagoWEB comes with multiple graphic processing controls to help you apply different effects to pictures.

Once installed, you can go ahead and take it for a spin. The main window is wrapped around a classic design, with most of the space reserved for the preview of pictures. A side panel allows you to quickly perform general operations like open, save, manage the picture explorer, or obtain images from a connected scanner.

You can only work with one picture at a time, but the application does come with a built-in manager to quickly navigate through all pictures in a particular folder. These can either be loaded through drag and drop, or browse dialog.

Edit options are found in the form of common manipulation options like copy, paste, delete, but there are also additional tools in order to perform conversion between formats like JPG, GIF, BMP, DIB, RLE, and WMf, set an image as your wallpaper, or take a screenshot, which also serves as an initial picture import method.

Under the image menu, there’s the possibility to manage general color sliders for quick fix, invert, mirror, apply grayscale, crop, rotate, resize, or initiate a slideshow with all pictures in the source folder. Sadly, the slideshow can’t be customized, or saved.

What’s more, the application comes with an impressive array of effects you can use to your advantage. Unfortunately, it can be a bit difficult because of the disturbingly small preview area. On the other hand, configurable effects can be applied, such as auto contrast, bleed, blur, color, curl, engrave, enhance, invert, jiggle, mirror, mosaic, motion, noisy, oil paint, pinch hole, and several more.

ImagoWEB comes with an impressive variety of editing and picture manipulation tools. However, it’s a little rough around the edges in almost every part of its design, and requires some degree of patience to get familiar with what it has to offer, and how these features can be put to good use.
