Image Broadway 4.1.002

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Filestream, the company known for favorites such as WinSettings and Turbo Browser, has worked hard to develop this practical, user-friendly image editor. Photographers will like tools for correcting color and tonal values, as well as those for cropping, rotating, and scaling images. Web designers will appreciate the built-in optimization and image-mapping functions. From simple tasks such as red-eye correction to more advanced editing chores, Image Broadway does it all well and boasts a price tag that's easier on your wallet than many competing packages. Though it doesn't offer much beyond the standard array of tools and capabilities, Image Broadway is a wonderful program that provides compelling reasons to take the demo for a test drive.

Publisher's description

From FileStream :

Image Broadway is an image editing tool that is powerful enough for most graphic designers, Webmasters, and photographers, yet simple enough for the occasional users who just want to edit, fine-tune, or create new images. Image Broadway lets you create and edit graphic images like a pro in minutes. For example, with one click you can correct red-eye in your digital shots. It also provides you with optimization tools to convert image format and to optimize image file size with instant display of results; the Image Map tools let you divide an image into several clickable areas, a popular feature for Web publishing.

Image Broadway features include retouching tools that allow color corrections and tonal adjustments; crop, rotate, scale, and perspective tools; rendering tools that let you enhance buttons, logos, and images; mask and transparency and composition tools; alpha channel; multiple channels; image mapping; and optimization. The program also includes samples and tutorials with step-by-step how-to's.

Image Broadway 4.1.002 added the Quick Paint mode for easy image creation. Also new in Image Broadway 4.1.002 is support for JPEG with sound. Some digital cameras support the JPEG image format with a soundtrack. With Image Broadway, you have the option to preserve the soundtrack after editing the image, extract the soundtrack as a separate file, or remove the soundtrack to reduce your image file size. The latest build added options to preserve ICC profile (a color system used in digital cameras), IPTC profile, CMYK information, updated Navigation Bar, and support for metric unit and additional shortcut keys.
