Irfanview - A Graphics
Delight!
November 19,
2011
By Sue Wessing
The fourth and final CCUG-PC Quarterly General
Meeting for 2011 noticeably was missing our president, Jerry Montalbano, who had
a family commitment out of town. Sue Wessing showed a freeware graphics editing
software Irfanview which can be downloaded at
www.irfanview.com.
The program enables photo editing, as well as
taking clips of information from the Internet and cropping them easily without a
large learning curve in the larger, sometime costly programs. Resizing, removing
red eye in photos, straightening crooked photos, correcting color errors, gamma
settings, brightness and contrast are only some of the easy to use features.
Photos can be turned into a slide show easily also. The program also easily
edits out unwanted sectors of photos such as dates and images. There are many
plug-ins to the program available which enable more features, which see at
http://www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm .
A popular Q & A session followed with members asking questions about Internet
access programs such as ATT Universe and cable access. Harry Cancienne, Ray
Paternostro and Sue Wessing fielded questions from the members.
Many prizes were awarded to the members. The following were winners:
Jim and Alice Diggs, Virginia McElroy, Mary and Harry Cancienne, Sue Wessing,
Nita Conner, Lance, Elwood, Margaret Wynn, and grand prize winner of the
Microsoft Windows 7 "Inside Out" text book is Priscilla Scott. Congratulations
to each prize winner.
Our next meeting will be Saturday, February 18th
and hope to see you then.
Always lots of
info, computer technology and
Q & A to stimulate the most challenged of
computing minds!
(Ed. Also group members can expect the group's issue of
Newsbits
(Electronically PDF format) to be sent to members prior to the meeting
with details.
