Organizes images while providing conversion tools, web photo galleries, geo-tagging, color corrections and several image filters and effects.
If you're looking for a photo organizer with a limited set of editing abilities, then the free utility StudioLine Photo Basic might be what you're looking for.
StudioLine Photo Basic starts off by creating a database of images that you've added to it and once completed, presents you with an array of tools to manipulate and geotag the images. The editing tools are limited and provide for adjusting the highlights, mid tones and shadows of a RAW or JPEG image. Auto-tone and auto-contrast can also be applied to the selected image. A few artistic effects are provided like applying sepia, black and white or smoked glass layers.
Moving on, StudioLine Photo Basic provides a neat little geo-tagging tool which can add location information to image metadata but in our tests, it didn't automatically pick up the location that was already embedded in the cell phone pictures we fed it.
When finished working with and manipulating images with StudioLine Photo Basic, users may also export their final edits in JPG, TIF, GIF or PNG format which are all compatible with social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook (except for TIF files).
For those wishing to upload photo albums to a web site, StudioLine Photo Basic can also create basic HTML image galleries by clicking the "Web" button in the top-right of the interface.
All in all StudioLine Photo Basic is an interesting freeware application but lacks some of the features that some other free utilities and management applications offer.
