I've noticed that people waste bbzzdd's bandwidth by uploading large pics.
Even worse, pics look bad when they're automatically resized in HTML.

O.K. This program automatically supports English!!!

The benefist of this program are:

1. Really easy to resize a pic as well as large amount of pics.
2. Supports bicubic resizing algorithm for best anti-alaising effect
3. Can add your own stamps(signatures, either letter or pics) on pics
4. Supports various effects such as Blur,Sharpen(Unsharp Mask!!!),Emboss, Auto Level, Auto contrast, Grayscale, Contrast, Brightness adjustment.
5. Tons of Frames to choose from!
6. It's FREE.

Again, this program is really damn easy to use and you'll notice how much your pics look better by applying Autocontrast/sharpen effects as well as step by step contrast/brightness adjustment.

To download, go to http://blog.dreamwiz.com/media/folderli...id=photoworks&folder=1&list_id=1666929
then click the orange letters that say 'photoworks v1.5' in gray box.

For best result. Try these settings : resizing with bicubic algorithm/sharpen level 2/ Auto Contrast/Contrast level 2. It does make a huge difference. You get photoshop level of adjustment with this simple/easy program.


P.S : Here is an example.

After photoworks,

After photoworks, with letter stamps/ pic. stamp/ frame (Photoworks provide more than 100 built-in frames)

Geez. You're really adamant on getting people to use this program. I get a 404 when I got to the download link that you have. Does this program double as an image viewer too?

I think the reason no one is trying it is because it gives you a 404 when you go there. Plus people are just comfortable with the programs they have, even if it could save you a couple seconds.
