It surprises me how many people do not understand backup. With big drives you have to have Incremental capabilities in a backup program yet so many do not even understand that word. It means that once you remove a backup to a DVD from your computer the next time you wish to backup your changed files you can. This is the only backup program offered by Snap that allows that. You must have a catalog of backed up files in a backup program as this one and only this one provides. I have tried them all and get quite mad at programs that claim Incremental backup but do not provide it. I am surprised that Snap does not seem to know this.

I have used GIMP and Photofilters and many others however this has done the best. It may not have all the features that GIMP has but it does the best with the JPG format. I have created a file using Pixia with nothing but blocks of color and saved it in JPG with almost no distortion. I have opened up this file in many programs and then saved it noting the distortions. This gives me an idea of how well the program works with JPG. Pixia is one of the best and I have only found one that did better but it was not an editing tool.

If you have a lot of pictures you can go through them and get information about them quickly. I like the histogram feature best for it stays up and goes from picture to picture thus allowing one to analyze a group of pictures quickly. Most programs that offer a histogram require you to click on a button for each photo making the comparing of photo quality difficult.
