Wow, that’s too bad, yet another impossible to use program that can’t do what it promises, is slow, awkward, and not free, except here.
Free Google Picasa and free IrfanView and free dozens of other programs are so much better — they have preview, batch, speed, speed, speed, and they are free … and they are IMAGE-CONTENT-AWARE, that is, they can intelligently automatically optimize image exposure, contrast, color, sharpness and so on, because they understand the meaning of the file content they are working on.
“Optimize” means something different to them than it does to me, I think it means “Optimize image exposure, contrast, color, sharpness”, I have no idea what it means to them.
No preview.
This can’t convert raw to DNG, free Adobe can.
This skipped converting a raw to Web Optimized, no explanation.
Gives a list of options just before conversion that is a mile long, versus a list of controls before that with only a few items … why not bring that options list under control and let us line-by-line control them?!?
Look at [ Help ], [ Command Line Params ] and see that they are FILE-based, not IMAGE-CONTENT-based.
This is a FILE converter, not an IMAGE converter, it has no image-awareness, no image-savvy.
Image-wise, it is stupid.
File-wise it is -s-l-o-w-.
I suggest that the programmers avail themselves of the free competition and learn how to do it equally well before they then try to figure out how to do it better, THEN they can charge for something special.
This is not special in any way.
