BRIC

Some pictures might require further processing before being used in your projects. This can simply mean adjusting size specifications, applying watermarks, or changing the format to be compatible with other tools. This is the purpose of BRIC, which comes with an intuitive design, as well several tools.

One advantage in particular here is portability, meaning you can use the application from the moment download is done, and do so on other computer directly from a thumb drive. Note, however, that it’s built to run on operating systems fitted with Java Runtime Environment, so you need to check if it’s installed.

Needless to say that you first need to load files you want to process. This can either be done through a drag and drop operation, or through the browse dialog. File support is impressive, allowing you to process formats like JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD, PPM, PGM, and several more.

It’s possible to have multiple pictures processed at a time, but all of them benefit from the same set of settings you configure. These range from output to resize, rotate, and watermark. Selecting an item from the list generates a small thumbnail, but you can also generate a large preview, which also shows changes.

The application makes it possible to export pictures under the same types of formats available for import, but conversion is not a mandatory option. Output can be delivered with various parameters, such as different name tags, quality, size specifications, aspect ratio, and more. Watermarks can come as both text and pictures, with options to add more items.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that BRIC is a powerful image processing tool, even though editing options only consist of handling technical details, such as size, aspect ratio, watermarks, and more. It supports an impressive range of formats, while the intuitive design quickly gets you up and running.
