@juverax: thanks for the mirror but I just retested the native link and I'm not having any issues. Maybe a brief downtime? |

Hi Zorro. PhotoDemon developer here. PD shouldn't have any new dependencies between v7 and v8. (In fact, its system dependencies haven't really changed since the Windows XP era!)

Hi PhotoDemon ;-) - just wanted to send you a screenshot of the message appearing when I try to start the program... but PhotoDemon updated itsself and now the problem is gone. Means version 8.2 is working like a charm (and like old version 7.0) on my machine. Thanks for so much backwards-compatibility!

Thank you so much for the follow-up, Zorro! My favorite bugs are the ones that fix themselves. :D |

If the image can't be rotated without losing some pixels, the program will prompt you with the costs in pixels.

10.1, released 8 August 2022. What's new: Added dark mode support. Improved HiDPI font size support. Minor updates for v10.1: 7 October 2022: Updated the folder selection dialog that opens via the “Browse” button, to fix the issue where some folders were intermittently missing from the list. 20 September 2023: Fixed the minor bug where the file name highlighting was not updated after pressing the “Reset EXIF Orientation to Normal” button. 11 December 2023: Removed the “In the future, do not show me this dialog box” checkbox from the crop warning dialog, because it was stored by Windows in its registry and was difficult for the users to change later. Now the crop warning dialog is controlled only by Options – Display crop warning in JPEG Lossless Rotator. See: https://annystudio.com/software/jpeglosslessrotator/#versionhistory |

Cool program, but wish I could just do a free mouse crop (draw a rectangle of any size or shape) on this program to crop.

Totally agree with webfork. A great little utility, but the ability to draw a freehand rectangle would be fantastic. Nevertheless, it's still a keeper!

quote @tc: You can stop the intro photo by editing photoscape.cfg, and turning intro.photoOn from on to off. You could also edit the url, to point to a local image

Although I've moved over to freeware options for most things I do, I've maintained use of Microsoft Photo Manager for years when working on my own photo collection. Today however, I was on a machine without it so I got PhotoScape up and found I actually prefer it.

Every few months I discover something new and cool with this program. Animated GIF tricks, photo edit functions, framing tricks, and photo collages. Today it was dragging and dropping an image onto the program icon and seeing the wealth of edition, annotation, and symbol tools available. |

@ Mixture: Thank you very much |
PngOptimizer is an easy-to-use program to compress common graphics formats to PNG format with no quality difference. Files can be added one at a time or in batch to the program icon or window. Images can also come from the clipboard by pressing CTRL+V while the application is in focus.
Cross-platform with clients available for Linux. A CLI version is available.
Graphics formats supported include BMP, GIF, TGA, as well as further compressesing PNG files. Animated GIF and PNG files (APNG) are also supported. Size decrease for PNG files varies widely on the original editor, but GIF and BMP conversions can be as much as 40% and 95% respectively.
Alternatively, PngOptimizer Portable automatically switches between 32-bit and 64-bit and adjusts the screenshots path.

Note about the 2.3 update: definitely takes full advantage of multi-processor systems. I tested it on Win7x64 with an i7 quad core and it got very close to 90% (few programs can do that). Definitely a big speed bonus over time there and good to see those kind of optimizations in freeware. |
RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool) presents a before-and-after image compression view that allows you to reduce file size of an image into JPG, PNG, or GIF format. Includes optional metadata removal, batch operations, compression to a target file size, transparency options, and other common editing functions (flip, rotate, zoom, pan). Notable versus similar software in the ability to gradually reduce the available colors one-by-one (7, 8, 9, 10...), not just milestones of 16, 32, 64 etc.
The program is also available as a plugin for XnView, GIMP, or Irfanview (see website).
Functional in Linux using Wine. Many of the official entries here on PortableFreeware have used RIOT for compression. Note that the installer version of this program is considered adware.

Added a note about films because I watched that Sintel short film created with Blender, which was in some areas even better than the work Pixar and Dreamworks are putting out commercially.
