Common Features of AiPICT and AiPICX

Create thumbnails of entire drive volumes (e.g., DVD collection, 'downloaded sites' on USB drives) unattended. Review and manage up to a million files with handy batch delete, move, rename functions.

Image Toolkit - Need quick fixes for your digital photos? Novices are immediately empowered with auto-enhancement functions (e.g., Auto Contrast, Auto Flash, Auto Balance) that do all the thinking for you. A handy imaging toolbar provides easy access to one-click image processing solutions, e.g., improve color balance and exposure, enhance sharpness ...

Included are standard imaging tools to suit everyday needs, such as "red eye" removal, TWAIN camera and scanner support, instant wallpaper, variable print sizes and positions, color tuning, brightness and contrast, rotate-by-degree (to straighten crooked images), smooth resampling, borders, image text with variables ... more!

Professionals will appreciate advanced image processing functions, found only in expensive commercial apps (e.g., variable unsharp mask, variable equalization and remapping). Our unique imaging functions are also indispensable additions to any digital photo enthusiasts' arsenal of tools.

Our proprietary functions include a CCD naturalize filter that corrects the unnatural harshness introduced by CCD camera matrices, a Cleaning filter that smoothes-out blemishes while keeping edges sharp, a Gamma saturation function that boosts only midtone colors, a Gamma Flash Fill function that boosts only shadows and dark midtones, a Contrast Suppression function to deal with over-exposures, ... and much more!

Image Editor - both include standard editing functions: copy, paste, trim, crop. In addition, regions of interest (selections) can be edited or made into collages -- grid and viewport functions facilitate the effortless copying and pasting of selections.

Duplicate Detection - both support CRC functions to identify exact duplicates; when forced to choose between "identical" images, both feature an Image Analyzer that quantifies image quality. The Image Analyzer provides useful image statistics and can tell you which image has more JPEG artifacts (i.e., has been recompressed) without having to magnify and visually inspect the images (which can be rather daunting and time-consuming). A Difference function is also included to visually highlight subtle changes between two "identical" images. Both also decode JPEG Comments and EXIF data (camera data) -- as originals usually have additional file info, you can tell immediately which is the original.

The Slide Album that boasts image matching functions that finds images that "look like this". Identify all modified duplicates on your entire hard drive -- or simply organize images visually. You can manually sort images by correlation, hue, lighting and raw pixel differences to find similar images. As a database you can query for filename, date, size, comment ... as well as sort with multiple criteria (e.g., CRC). Moreover, it can catalog multiple offline volumes too -- more than a million slides are supported.
