ImageEspreso Digital Photo Editor

How it works

ImageEspresso was created to give digital photographers professionally-looking results without requiring them to spend much time or money. It's practically a one-click tool. It's very affordable. It's simply perfect for people seeking a powerful and effective, yet intuitive and user-friendly way to edit digital images.

ImageEspresso can handle all of the most common photo editing requirements, such as:

Rotating, Cropping, and Resizing images
Batch image processing
One-click image enhancements (corrects brightness, saturation and contrast, with a single mouse click)
Manual Balance (slider controls to manually adjust Brightness, Saturation, Contrast)
Dark Area Correction - you can selectively correct just the overly dark areas of your images
Image Histogram Analysis and Adjustment
Red-Eye elimination
One-click Automatic Image Noise Reduction
Manual Image Noise Reduction
Black-and-White or Sepia conversions
Preparing images for printing

The main window in ImageEspresso (see below) contains simple and intuitive menus and controls. At the very top of the window there are typical pull-down menus. Right below the menus you'll see a toolbar containing shortcuts to the most commonly used functions. The photos you are editing will appear in the white space below the toolbar. At the very bottom of the window you will see a status bar that displays helpful hints along with specific program and image information.

All ImageEspresso functions are available through the main pull-down menus. In addition, all of the most frequently used functions are available through the toolbar buttons. For easy navigation, these toolbar buttons are divided into several groups, based on their functionality:

     First group - common functions not specific for this program:
           Previous    Next    Open...    Save As    Print    Revert    Undo Last Command    Redo Last Command

      Second group - viewing functions:

     Third group - main editing functions:

               BlackAndWhite/Sepia   Resize   Red Eye Correction   Manual Balance   Crop

     Forth group - general selection and selection for print:
           Select   Print 3x5   Print 4x6   Print Custom Size   Rotate Selection

In addition to the Auto Balance feature, the ImageEspresso also features a Manual Balance option which provide more flexibility for the image editing process. The Manual Balance window (see below) allows you to manually adjust image quality. The Manual Balance window has four slider controls (also known as a trackbars) that allow manual adjustments for Brightness, Saturation, Contrast and Dark Area Correction. In addition, the Manual Balance window also shows the image Histogram and the corresponding histogram adjustment controls.

ImageEspresso includes an extensive help system that will be installed together with the editor. For all additional information about using ImageEspresso, please refer to this help system. Once you install ImageEspresso, you can open the help file either (1) from the desktop screen by clicking Start -> All Programs -> ImageEspresso -> ImageEspresso Help, or (2) from the ImageEspresso main window by clicking Help -> Help Topics in the main pull-down menu.
