FastStone Image Viewer

A friend of ours has turned us on to a great new program for viewing, cropping, editing, resizing, morphing, re-coloring and otherwise just enjoying your photos: FastStone Image Viewer 2.5. I may be the last person on the block who has heard of it, but I have really had a good time using it since we got home from vacation. My digital camera is a 5 mega-pixel camera, but the flash on it is a blinding light that can give ANYONE red-eye. The red-eye repair feature on FastStone works great for everything except when the eye gives a white or amber colored glare (which is not as common). I was impressed at how professional the program seems for freeware. Yes, I did say FREE-ware. That is the best part. Maybe after I get my redesign up and running, I’ll drop FastStone a tip!

Here’s a pretty digital masterpiece that my son and I created tonight with FastStone… and as you can see, I added text. I was able to use whatever text my computer already supports, which is nice. You don’t have to pick from a small list of pre-packaged fonts. Another really great feature is that it allows you to add all kinds of really great borders and cut in circle or oval shapes (not just squares). I am sure that all of these features are included in expensive programs like Photoshop… but I have not been able to swing that yet. This is my favorite freeware that I have tried so far. Hope you like it as much as I do!

    I’m sure Photoshop is great… but for the rest of us (without the $ to buy it), we have to make do with the freebies first! 馃槈 I do have it on my wish list, though… and I’m going to probably be glued to my computer in delight once I get it.

    This is a great entry Heather!!! Thanks for all the site tips. I’ve been thinking of revisiting my blog design since it’s almost 3 years old now so those leads were great. 馃槢

    That’s cool, Toni. 馃檪 I love your design, but I can’t wait to see a new look. I am a design junkie. 馃檪

Spritti Who?

Howdy. I'm Heather.

I'm a Christian Wife, Foodie, Writer, Homeschool Teacher, Artist....

OH YEAH, I'm also a Professional Event, Portrait, Art & Wedding Photographer - (which currently is the only job I get paid for).

I'm also a DIY amateur, Gourmet Cook on a mission to eat clean with good reason - I was diagnosed with colon cancer in August of 2016 (read: bona-fide health nut), and I have a cacti collection that is bordering on a business... a hobby farm we are just now beginning as a new adventure for our family... and of course, as you might expect living in rattlesnake country, I'm a gun-toting Native Texan (Yeehaw!)

I've been trapping Google-searchers here since 2005.

Bless your little heart. I'm so glad you stopped by.
