RE: Subject: image conversion tools

[CC <texchanchan -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Irfanview (www.irfanview.com) is > free <, handles
many image formats, and allows single or batch
conversions. I use it all the time. For more
complicated stuff I go to Paint Shop Pro, but that's
rarely necessary.

Excerpts from Irfanview help

These are the file formats supported by the current
version of IrfanView:

AIF¹,  ANI,  AU¹,  AVI,  BMP,  CAM,  CLP,  CPT,  CUR, 
DAT¹,  DCM/ACR, DCX,  DIB,  DJVU, EMF,  EPS, 
FLI/FLC², FPX, G3, GIF,  ICL,  ICO,  IFF/LBM,  IMG,
JPG/JPEG,  KDC, LDF, LWF,  Mac PICT², MED, MID, 
MOV¹²,  MP3, MPG/MPEG¹,  PBM,  PCX,  PGM,  PhotoCD, 
PNG,  PPM
,  PSD,  PSP,  QTIF², RAS/SUN,  RealAudio, RLE,  RMI, 
SFF, SFW,  SGI/RGB, SWF, SND¹,  TGA,  TIFF/TIF,  WAV, 
WBMP, WMF, XBM, XPM

¹  Microsoft's Media Player program is required for
these formats.
²  Apple's QuickTime program is required for these
formats.

Batch Conversion:
Select the Output Format at bottom left. This works
just like Save and Save As. The Options button lets
you choose various operations to perform, also just
like their Save and Save As versions. 

Use the Advanced Options button to apply many special
operations to the images during conversion. These
options are much like their versions on the Image
menu. The options are:

Crop, Resize, Change color depth, Horizontal flip,
Vertical flip, Rotate left, Rotate right, Convert to
greyscale, Negative, Sharpen, Gamma Correction,
Contrast, and Brightness.

You can acquire from a scanner into Irfanview and add
text to an image. You can't erase, paint, draw lines,
etc.
