basic post processing with it.
It's a great program and fast.

Yeah - and I just snipped it all. :)

~~ snerk ~~

Ungrateful - I know.

Thanks - now I've got it sussed.

I like it so far - very handy for resizing and just viewing photos for
tagging.

I wonder if they accept donations - I'd give 'em $20 for their
efforts.

Same here. Default choice for viewing, resizing, cropping, format
conversion etc. I'll only start something better if I have retouching
etc. to do. Its batch operations are extremely usefull as well.

It would appear that way.

I'll have to play around with it some more.

I recommended it to you in our recent email exchanges. I use it as my
default image viewer. It's fast and easy. I don't bother with any of it's
editing capabilities. I've got much better tools for that. But for a down
and dirty viewer, it can't be beat.
