• Imagine – nice (but is it interesting?) image viewer

  Posted on Tuesday August 11th, 2009 at 10:00 in Software, image, imagine, viewer, image viewer, skribit

  Suggestion to check out Imagine, made by Chocobito if I am not mistaken, had been sitting in my Skribit list for some time. Frankly situation with image viewers is boring. There is XnView camp, IrfanView camp, ACDSee camp (I think they fell asleep) a...

  Posted on Thursday June 4th, 2009 at 10:00 in Software, image, comparison, file, duplicate, visipics

  Yet another (keep them coming) suggestion from my Skribit widget “compare the new RealWorld Paint.COM with older free image editors” by Anonymous. In my opinion calling software around old is good way to get your… executable kicked. So Paint.CO...
