  • Mods: Forgive the more than one-post-a-day, pleeze? Hope some Monkey can get some use out of this. I've had great success with it--YMMV--or maybe someone can turn us on to something better. (It's FREE!)
  • i sorta prefer this. but it ain't free.
  • oh yeah and it doesn't have the storage space. but 1.5 mb? that doesn't seem like a lot of space - not much more than 1 floppy disk. unless that's a typo of some sort.
  • Yea, I don't doubt Adobe does a much nicer job for US$649. GACK! I would HOPE so. Frogs, it is only one point five MB, but my thought was there are some Monkeys that don't appear to have any place to store a few jpgs for linking. Even at 300kb, you can still store a few for whatever. It has storage and cleans up pics automatically, What do you want for FREE? Shadow Illuminator IT'S FREEEEEE
  • In many cases I found the before pictures to be better than the processed images. The process seems to just brighten everything at the expense of shadow tones, which is not to my taste. really anal about image quality - even from a free tool
  • Did a fairly decent job on an overly dark image I gave it to chew on, but the user experience was, generally speaking, a pain in the dick. Will I be able to use GMail as a defacto host for this sort of thing?
  • I'm with schadenfreude- the originals are more interesting with minimal adjustment, while the processed images look washed out. There's good cheap shareware available that does this sort of thing better than any web-based service. I use Graphic Converter. (Mac OSX, but there are plenty of Windows equivalents)
  • *seconds use of GraphicConverter, had various versions of it on machine for, um, 6 years?*
  • Wolof: After doing a couple of quick experiments, I don't think you'll be able to. At least, not by any method I can divine.
  • GIMP for Windows. Free. and it's image-fu is strong.
  • hmmm, there are people who pay for photoshop? Intresting...
  • *raises finger, ashamed* I went for a course and everything....
  • I went for a course and everything.... Good for you, girl. I wish. Not a leg-pull.
