File-loading speed and graphics-format versatility are the
hallmarks of ACDSee 32, a graphics viewer that lets you
browse images or display them in a slideshow. The
program's broad support includes .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .pcx,
Photo CD, .png, .tga, and .tif formats. ACDSee is particularly
speedy at decompressing .jpg and .gif formats. Other
features include full-color preview of files before loading,
zooming in and out, printing graphics, and converting an
image to wallpaper. ACDSee features multiple configuration
options, allowing want, and you to display images in the
quality you has incremental
View Pro is a powerful but
easy-to-use image-file editor with
handy toolbar icons and extensive options. You can save,
undo, edit, cut and paste, crop, and add text to graphics. Files
can be opened in a number of formats, such as .jpg, .gif, .bmp,
.tiff, and .tga. Objects can be viewed, flipped, rotated
clockwise or counterclockwise, and lightened or darkened.
LView Pro includes a special macro-editing mode that can
accomplish several image enhancements at once from a
common menu. File groups can be displayed as slideshows or
inserted into a single-file contact sheet. LView Pro is the one
image editor designed for Internet usage, capable of
producing transparent-background images and interlaced-GIF
files.
This 32-bit program makes
the
process of finding and maintaining graphics, clip-art files,
fonts, animations, and several types of multimedia virtually
painless. Small images (known as thumbnails) are created and
displayed on command. Use the program to view, browse,
edit, crop, copy images to the Clipboard, or launch external
editors. Organize graphics files by dragging and dropping
them to the directories of your choice. ThumbsPlus can also
convert bitmap files to Windows wallpaper and create a slide
show from selected graphics. You can print individual images
or the thumbnails themselves as a catalog and convert one
graphics format to another, individually or in batches. Other
features include conversion of metafile graphics to bitmaps,
creating graphic "contact sheets" with thumbnails and
file
descriptions, using OLE to create thumbnails for and view any
proprietary file type for which the server application is loaded
on your system, and a wizard that can build Web pages of
thumbnails. What formats does the program support? Let's
put it this way: About the only graphics formats it won't let
you view are the ones that haven't been invented yet.
CuteFTP brings simplicity
and power to Internet file transfers.
It's easy enough for beginners to use immediately, providing
drag-and-drop transfer, local and remote directory display and
sorting options, a one-click button panel for common
commands, and pull-down menus for all functions. Power
users will enjoy the enhanced features and firewall support.
Directory Compare lets you synchronize data, and Keep Alive
maintains the connection. CuteFTP also allows file filtering,
remote file editing, and more. Keep an address book of
frequently visited sites for fast access. Built-in directory
caching makes moving around remote hosts much faster.

version is also available.

WinZip has become the file
compression tool of choice for
many Windows users, and it's easy to see why. Using your
choice of a 'Wizard' or 'Classic' interface (both of which are
easy to use), WinZip can create industry-standard .zip files,
plus open .zip, .tar, and GZIP archives without any additional
utilities. It also interfaces with external programs to handle
.arc, .arj, and .lzh files. WinZip features tight integration
with
the Windows 95 shell, several ways to create archives, plus
optional support for many virus scanners. A helpful Check
Out feature temporarily opens an archive so that the program
within can be installed. You can keep a list of favorite folders,
plus easily view files through an internal ASCII text viewer or
the file's associated application. Whether you'rean existing
WinZip user, or you've been looking for an easyway to handle
archives in Windows 95 or NT, this is a 'mustdownload.'
