ReaJPEG Standard

Image processors help fix different errors in pictures, apply various effects, or even alter them completely to obtain new images. Chances are you want, or need to do this for an entire collection. This is just the right task for applications like ReaJPEG Standard, fitted with multiple batch edit options.

On the visual side of things, the application presents all of its features through a simple, yet intuitive design which doesn’t make the accommodation process longer that a few minutes. General descriptions, and tips on how to quickly start are shown at launch.

You can start off by dragging one or more pictures over the main window, or relying on the built-in browse dialog to select images under formats like ARW, BAY, BMQ, CR2, CS1, CRW, DCR, DNG, ERF, HDR, IA, K25, KDC, MOS, MRW, BMP, ICO, JPG, TGA, PCX, RLA, PCD, GIF, PNG, and more.

Once pictures load, they’re all shown in a side navigation panel, which you can set to display thumbnails, info, or both. Selecting a picture shows it in the center preview area, where you can zoom, or start editing to either enhance, or alter.

There are several management options at your disposal, each with multiple tools. Technical settings let you rotate, flip, but also crop, trim, resize, or modify projection type. Moreover, you can secure pictures, especially for online distribution, by adding watermarks of multiple types like border, image, or text.

You can adjust colors through the dedicated section. Most options are automated here, but you can take matters into your own hands to set contrast, brightness, curves, levels, variants, or color replacement.

The last two sections are dedicated to effects. Both of them are fitted with some presets, such as blur, grayscale, invert, solarize, saturation, sharpness, bloat, twirl, tile, mosaic, and several other. Regardless of the section you’re in, the selected tool comes with a dedicated panel so you can easily adjust intensities, and other parameters through sliders.

Applying effects doesn’t modify original files, unless you choose to save. When you’re done configuring an effect, it can either be applied to the selected picture, or spread across the entire gallery.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that ReaJPEG Standard is a trustworthy image editing application which is sure to fulfill most of your common picture processing needs. Batch support is a major advantage, saving you a great deal of time, and effort, while the variety of effects, and especially supported file types make it worth your while.
