This is an advanced tool for batch conversion with lot of image processing features from rotating, image resizing, adding an anti-theft "X", overlaying text and/or a logo onto the image to more advanced requirements such as leveling RGB, HSL, brightness, contrast, gamma, adding IPTC information such as captions, copyright or photographer name, etc... Convert files (say from TIFF to JPG) and save output files to a fixed target (KB) size. In contrast to other batch converters, "Picture-Desk" enables you to select individual images or select groups of images (as many groups as you like) to convert in different ways, but all part of the single batch process. Let's imagine this simple task, you wish to insert text and a graphic logo onto 100 image files, but amongst them, 10 files must be rotated clockwise, 20 anti-clockwise, the remaining 70 need no rotation."Picture-Desk" achieves this (and every other task you select) in a single batch process! While setting individual image properties, you can conveniently view how the final image will look by using "Preview Window". "Picture-Desk" supports 20 popular graphic formats, together with IPTC (Photoshop's file info) for TIFF to JPEG conversion.

"Aesop" is a banner maker tool that allows you to create any banner ad, web button, logo, or web graphic quickly and easily (click to see examples). Greatly looking effects (for example, moving an antialiased 3D-Text across the image) can be realized into a multi-frame GIF in a few minutes. Effective palette optimization and data compression give you a possibility to obtain small size GIFs. Simplicity and convenient step-by-step interface make this program useful for experienced programmers as well as for beginners in graphic design.
