Are you a passionate photographer? Then this is for you! It is for everyone, amateur or professional... Absolutely unique design of MPhotoProcessor lets you process each of your photos using a single key press! No complicated settings, there is no faster or easier way to process your photos in the world!
Let's say that
- you don't want to have hundreds of DVDs full of photos
- you want to keep high image quality
- you don't want to spend days processing your photos every time you make some
And we have an incredible solution for all of these.
MPhotoProcessor shows you all of the photos one by one. It rotates each photo automatically and processes it using basic effects such as automatic contrast and brightness and lets you decide, how "good" this photo is, which you do by pressing exactly one key (delete or 1-5). By pressing 1-5 you are marking each photo. 1 means very bad (e.g. random facial photos), 5 means very good (landscapes, artistic...).
Higher the number is, higher resolution will be kept and better JPEG quality will be set and therefore the file size will be bigger. Using predefined settings, if you press 1, the file might take about 10kB, if you press 5 it may more the 1MB!
Additionally you can rename all files according to their time, because file name IMG24531.jpg is really useless, isn't it? MPhotoProcessor keeps EXIF tags, of course.
