They should have named it PhotOpus or Phot-Opus to avoid the misunderstanding about the name of the application. I think this is what they really intended judging from the program icon.
It worked quickly and easily for batch resize and rotate operations.

There are many free programs available to do the job. You don't even need to install any of them. for example, PhotoScape, Xnview, FSviwer........
I pass on this one.

Christopher Chance - "Are there really that many bad pieces of software going through here?"
The short answer is no. There is simply a lot of very average software that simply doesn't compete with the long established, well supported freeware alternatives. The site gives away a program every day, that's 365 programs a year, and the site has been going for several years now. So it simply isn't possible to give away great software every day. But the site IS worth visiting/supporting as every now and then a gem is given away that IS worth downloading and recommending to your friends, eg Process Lasso Pro, Paragon HD Manager, Inpaint.

What can Photopus do that IrfanView can do for free???
IfanView can even make Slide Shows, write them to HTML to be uploaded to a website and even burn them to CD or DVD, if you also have Nero installed. IrfanView is also for batch processing and is extendable with other tools, like OCR.

I have no use for this application, so I'm not gonna test it. But I'm surprised at the so-called "Ideas". I see 115 vote's for "the name is kinda disgusting". I for one, am actually happy to see an application which isn't named exactly as it does(just take a look into the history of applications offered, you'll catch my drift). Also, I felt like there was actually some thoughts spend to the name. It's obviously based on octopus, an animal that comes with a lot of hands(read help or handydandies). Combine that with photo and tadaa, you have a brilliant name.

The old standby Irfanview still works well and does just about everything this software is supposed to do. Irfanview is also free.

WHy is it that the last dozen or so application that have been posted have been mostly panned by the majority of thoe cheocking them out? Are there really that many bad pieces of software going through hre?
I post this tuff to my facebook page for my friends to see and maybe use, but if the majority of what I see is negatively reviewed I am going to stop posting them becuase I don't want my friends and family downloading crap software that will mess up thier computers or not do what it is supposed to.
Another issue, why is the software that appears here so cruddy to begin with? Most of the regular reviewers have no problems stating that thre is better freeware out there than what is promoted here? I think I am going to give it one more week than remove it because I have lost coputers to bad software and I don't want history to repeat itself.
Thanks for trying Giveaway of the day, but if you can't give away this software what good is it? You post retail prices of this software and it all gets shot down, makes the individual companies look bad for trying to charge for something you can't giveaway, makes them look like crooks pushing shoddy software and asking for money for it.
Well enough ranting for me. Thanks reviewers for your honest answers. Giveaway of the day, you need better quality software to push. Good luck.

I'm sorry, but I just have to ask: Where on Earth did the author(s) get the name "Photo pus"? From a marketing viewpoint, the subliminal suggestion of pus is not what I would want for my product.

The name is too close to a well known popular software called PhotoPlus (with a letter "L") from Serif.com that I think they are trying to confuse folks. The package here is far less capable, so I hope everyone understands the difference.

@ 4 Mex, your link goes to what was apparently the author's forum, but it only links to the older 1.0.7 version. The original site www.imagine-picture-viewer (was it .com?) is nowhere to be found.
In search of the latest version I noted that the program seems to be housed under sourceforge.net now (http://sourceforge.net/projects/open-imagine/), but then no way for me to log in with my account credentials and still waiting for the mail about the new account I created. Download is possible though.

When batch processing photos, note that:
— A resolution of 96 dpi will work better when applying effects.
— Effects filters will not expand to transparent areas of a photo.

Looks like a good program but Imagine does almost the same job for free (even for commercial usage).

I would never pay .29 cents for this program never mind getting it for free. Need an awesome graphic editor use GIMP, you can't go wrong. It's very complex but there is a lot of online help and tutorials.

Sounds super useful!
Nice choice GotD Team!

Beginners program to mess up your pictures!
Several of the appliable filters have no effect at all.
Conversion of pictures takes depending on picture size almost for ever.
Crop feature works with numerical input instead with on-screen rubber-band.
I'm still searching for the 60+ picture formats - last count was around 14 - where are the remaining 40+ formats?
This version doesn' support RAW format - you need pro version for that.
Sorry folks - but for $29,95 not enough features compared to available freeware (xnview, etc). I recommend Fast Stone Imageviewer.
Its free and has more features.

Looks a lot like XNVIEW
The effects and batch processing capabilities are very similar to the free XNVIEW software by Pierre.e Gougelet. I was hoping there would be "paint" like tools, such as a healing brush or the ability to add simple geometric shapes. It does have a nice, friendly interface, but I think I'll stick with the software I've been using for a few years now.
