My own image manipulator program
Here's a little program that I wrote for myself. It isn't a full blown
commercial product but I have fun manipulating pictures with it. I hope some folks will try it and comment here. No install needed. It's a stand alone program that doesn't touch anything in your computer files or registry. Windows XP is the only system I've run it on. I'm not a photographer, just an old codger now retired who knows how to push bits around in a computer. You can run and download it from this link: http://www.douglas-jones.com/ppd.exe All I ask for it is your critique and sugestions to make it better. Hve fun, Doug |

Hve fun, Doug A suggestion that a downloading and opening an unknown *.exe file accessed via a direct link through a usenet post might not be a great thing to do. It might be an idea to link to a web page, which explains something about the file/program to be downloaded. While no installer might be needed for a "stand-alone" executable, don't overestimate users. It's fairly easy to make a windows installer using inno setup (free), then users are more comfortable with having the program install with regular shortcuts and uninstall through shortcut or uninstall applet in control panel. |

Thanks Fredrick,For the quick reply. Of course you're correct about users. I'm hopeing that some computer savy folks will let me know if it appears useful enough for me to spend time on it. If I get some decent reviews I'll do some of the drudge work needed. As I said above, I'm now in retirement so I won't go to the trouble of becomeing a known and certified publisher. |

Let me at the source code so I can compile and run it on Linux, and I'll take you up on that. Hve fun, Doug |

I'm open to suggestions about colors. I was trying to get a khali. Perhaps some of the more artistically incline folks can post some suitable RGB values. The closest thing to undo is the 'Discard' button on the top. |

There are two palettes, the gradient palette and the general purpose palette in the 'Edit Picture' menu. Both can be edited by : Edit Picture-Pick Color/Make Color- Apply Color. Snap- Angle-then enter degrees value will rotate to and unit degrees. Many Thanks for your advice and encouragement. |

BTW I don't have a wide screen monitor(16:9). Would appreciate feedback if someone tries it there. This program is BETA (maybe forever beta) so download frequently. |
