I have not learned to use Photoshop'om and LightRoom'om. Probably because they do not really need me. All photos for the blog I treat a small free program FastStone Image Viewer or just FSViewer. It is also used to view any photos.


The program has all the necessary functions to view the photos, including auto-rotation of images taken with the camera sensor gravity and work with RAW.

The program is unusual, but it is very easy to use interface. While viewing photos on-screen is nothing but the photo itself, but move the mouse to one of the four sides of the screen opens the appropriate menu: Right - the file attributes,


up - the browser,


down - toolbar


left - the tools menu.


There are convenient slideshow, change pictures wheel mouse, zoom with the left mouse button.

In addition to viewing and editing features have: correction of brightness, contrast, color, cropping, resizing, rotating on any angle, cloning and retouching, drawing, adding text, taking away the red-eye reduction, sharpening filters, correction colors.

I usually, if necessary, crop photos and leveling the horizon, then add a bit of contrast and, if necessary, the brightness in shadow and highlight areas. Sometimes I correct the color and add definition. If necessary, clean or remove superfluous (dust, foreign objects) using the retouch function.

FSViewer glue allows multiple photos vertically or horizontally. I use this feature when I prepare screenshots from your phone.

FSViewer has an excellent, highly customized batch conversion feature. With it I impose on the photo line with copyright, reduce the size of photos and pinch them with the necessary degree of compression. At the same time you can and give the file a new name with a sequential numbering.



In FSViewer has several themes. I'm using a theme Corona with a change in form of windows borders. If you want a simpler and more rigorous look, you can install the Windows 7 theme, Windows XP, Windows Classic or even MacX.

Download FSViewer possible here: http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDownload.htm Me, I always put the portable-version. It is convenient that all settings are stored at of INI-files and transferred to another computer or from a flash drive works without any problems.

If you still do not use FSViewer, I recommend to try. You'll like it.
