No fancy effects!

FastStone Image Viewer version 3.8

Interface: 4
Features: 5
Ease of use: 5
Value: 5
Overall:

No fancy effects, like Google Picasa. This one does the job with many options, and you can choose how it will start (windowed, full-screen or browser like). This was the only app I could found that allows me to always open image in 1:1 and use mouse scroll to really scroll the image (not zoom).

Well, comparing to Photoshop the main thing i miss are layers... But i use this as a fast and FREE alternative to paint, so it does the job very well. Doesn't use more then 5 MB of ram here.

Better then MS Paint, not good as photoshop

Paint.NET version 3.08

Interface: 4
Features: 4
Ease of use: 3
Value: 5
Overall:

I would recommend this app of you need something less then Photoshop but more then Paint. Like simple layer or crop/resizing photos. Or even needs just more than 10 undo's... It's much lighter then PS, uses less then 55 MB of ram, and has a good variety of features.

Very good

Free Download Manager version 2.5

Interface: 4
Features: 5
Ease of use: 3
Value: 4
Overall:

Works nice, you can have multiple downloads, multiple sections of the same mirror, multiple mirrors. Different default folders for each file type and/or project you create. But you might need some time to get used, it is not that simple if you're a total newbie.

It is worth a try, but does open rar password

TUGZip version 3.4.0.0

Interface: 5
Features: 2
Ease of use: 4
Value: 3
Overall:

Yep, it doesn't open RAR files with password protection, it doesn't prompt to enter pass, just open as if it was empty. Also you can't leave a program open through a zip, and close the zip, it does crash.

Does what it needs! Crop, paste copy parts of audio files. Can have a GOOD zoom and its VERY easy to use. Just remember that you'll need to download lame_enc.dll file in order to export MP3.

Well, everything great. Just miss a Zoom tool... Maybe could show the color point on the RGB gfx. But its very nice, easy to use, simple and fast.

Not that all...

MacroMaker version 2.0.0.4

Interface: 3
Features: 2
Ease of use: 4
Value: 3
Overall:

Its a good program, but not the best. As a freeware i would say Fair. I didn't find much easy to add IF and ELSE functions on my macros! There is no option to add a Pause/Stop button after a macro started! If the option exist, then its not easy to find.
