Publisher's description of PowerBatch

From UniDream Technologies:

Power Batch batch-converts, resizes, renames, rotates, adjusts, and prints out your watermarked photos, and makes AVI files from your images. Supported image formats are JPEG, TIFF (including multipage TIFF), GIF (including animated GIF), bitmap, PNG, and JPEG 2000. When resizing, you can use one of 11 example filters. When renaming templates, you can use a combination of EXIF date/time information, auto numbers, and any custom string. You can adjust brightness and contrast, gamma, RGB, HSL, HSV, grayscale, negative, sharpness, and softness. You create watermarks the same way as in Photo Watermark Professional and print your watermarked photos in batch mode. Version 6.1.2.3 may include embed EXIF copyright information automatically to photos.

Editor's review of PowerBatch

• "PowerBatch"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: PowerBatch 6.1.2

Although this image-editing program's cluttered design may turn some folks off, the software offers a nice feature set for no cash. UniDream PowerBatch's elegant yet cluttered main window contains so many buttons and features it may overwhelm less-experienced people. Editing tools include those for tweaking sharpness, color balance, hue, saturation, and brightness. You'll also find implements for rotating and cropping shots, as well as a couple of simple effects. The concept of adding watermarks to batches of photos instead of individually is great, especially because the application gives you a fine degree of control over how they appear. The program also can convert and rename batches of images, supporting formats such as JPEG, GIF, BMP, and PNG. The ability to build collages and to frame shots will appeal to creative-minded shutterbugs. Folks willing to put in the time to learn their way around will find this freebie makes a pretty nice download.

  "free, easy, exactly what i needed to reduce my pics with NO VISUAL CHANGE"

  by wildwind1999 on November 7, 2006

  Pros: although i had to mess with the controls to get the hang of it at first it really is quite simple. You still have your old pics when you are done (to delete your self)so there really is no loss. Remember to make a new folder to save your new ones in so you can compare them when they are done. This program saves so much time and money!

  "Waste of Time"

  by bazzzzle on September 7, 2006

  Cons: I spent ages trying to work out how to watermark my images. At first I thought the option was there somewhere within the many menu's and options on this overly complex application. Then I realised the watermark option has been excluded. Don't waste your time on this like I did.

  "Junk"

  by DirtPimp on September 11, 2007

  Pros: It was free.

  Cons: It's worth what I paid for it. Spent hours trying to figure it out, and finally gave up.

  "Program crash on first attempt + watermarks cannot be saved"

  by davidstemporary on August 4, 2007

  Pros: No positives - just a waste of valuable time.

  Cons: Program crash during my first (and last) try. I have a very stable system and this normally never happens.

  Also watermarks can be created by NOT SAVED.
