Are you the one who wrote this program?

Is it in Full English?

Maybe this program automatically detects windows language and runs on English mode on English Windows. I wouldn't know as I've never used it on English Xp.

Let me know about it.

Why are we debating over a program that's in Korean? The first screenshot was enough for me to not even bother with whatever other merits the program may or may not have.

Because the OP is Korean and has apparently been paid to advertise it (or something, he's very zealous about it).

No, this program is all done by this one guy; a married guy with a kid who developed this program just as a hobby.

The advertisement came later as this program became a hit.

Uh.......Thanks!
Damn...I didn't think this program even supported English.

My bad, this program does support English.

Oh and resize it to 1024x768

After photoworks,

http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/deadtrees/macresized.jpg

First, sorry I was so late, I completely forgot about this thread after a lengthy phone call

Here's using Mspaint ONLY:
http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/forthemame/mac.jpg

Compare that to your version:
http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/deadtrees/macresized.jpg

Mine looks a MILLION times better


Also, look at the file size. Mine is 88kb, your's is 448! That's less than 1/5th your file size and it looks so much better.

Mspaint is perfectly fine with me

 

[0roo0roo]

who cares about resize. good god.. why not tout the benifits of using higher levels of jpeg compression.😛 throw away data.... and your washed out example sucked as pictures in the first place. tweaking the contrast or whatever on only one image is rigging the contest. taking a high resolution image and shrinking makes it look sharper, whats new. i'd rather keep the high resolution image.

Uh....I really think photoworks did better job as it fixed under exposure/ gave more detail by unmask sharen as well as other enhancement. If you look at letters on the right bottom, don't you notice Ms paint's one looks jagged? (I'm not sure if this was because of resizing algorithm or saving options as your files are very small)
Anyway, I saved the results in 97% of original quality, if I wanted it to be smaller I can, of course, drop it all the way down but the image will loose detail like yours.
I mean....do you really think ms paint one looks better???

I resized the image, I didn't change the brightness or exposure as that wasn't the goal of the exercise. Mine looks more like the original image than your's and is extremely compact

I agree with what you said about resize.
I used the under exposed example(highlight/shadow as well) as that's one of the most common thing that digital camera users suffer. I've seen many pictures people posted here suffering from that, too. I also prefer high res. pictures but people posting 3-4-5 megapixel pictures on the web is just ridiculous. The image will be automatically down sized by browers giving it very jagged edges. Also, sharening image is important, especially for Canon users as Canon produces soft images.

Of course yours look more like the original one as I applied many enhancements. What good is photoshop if it's about resizing? As I said, I recommand photoworks as it has some important basic functions that produces same results as photoshop and it's a lot easier to use.
Yours are, of course again, extremely compact as you chose to do so whereas I didn't. I,too, could've made it a lot smaller sacrificing the quality of the image.

I don't even think that your 'enchanced' picture is really better, other than it's brighter. But that's just me...

Anyway, for photo enchancing, PS is just too great to use anything else. For resizing and reducing file size, Mspaint is great

Well, if you don't find it better, what more can I say?
Anyway, here's a 79.2k picture done by photoworks(yours was 87k which mean your should/must look better) Also, I didn't apply any enhancements for plain resize comparision. Please look at right bottom side where it says "i'm lovin' it".
Do you see how yours look jagged due to lack of step-by-step bicubic resize algorithm?

(Even photoshop doesn't have this step-by-step resize algorithm; you have to do it manually or through a macro. Let's say we have a 1600x1200 image. If you resize it to 640x480, it'll just be resized from 1600x1200 'straight', giving it jagged looking border even with bicubic algorithm. However, Photoworks takes steps from 1600x1200, 1024xwhatever, 800x600, then 640x480 with bicubic algorithm thus creating less jagged borders)
Just comapre ms paint's and photoworks. Try it on photoshop as well.
