• Goodbye ACD See

I have spend a lot time with ACD See, this commercial software is really perfect, but it is expensive. I am not evil any more, (Hum, I might be more evil if my company open the door for illegal software, not now. ). So I only use legal software now.

FSLogo I have try Fast Stone, it is free, but ugly. I think I should use something better, more beautiful.

I’d like to introduce Windows Live Photo Gallery to you, it’s cool, but the editor is very very impolite, it save the photo automatically without any notice, even it provides a not-easy way to recover my photo.

iview_logo Yes, in this world, IrfanView and XnView may be another good choice for navigating pictures. To be honest, I haven’t saw the icon pasted left side for almost 12 years since Y1996.

Logo3 Paint.Net provides a lot of Photoshop-liked functions, the two software almost have the same GUI, and provide same basic functions, why don’t use the free Paint.Net to replace the expensive Adobe Photoshop. (I have to admit that I prefer to use Adobe Photoshop if there was no limitation. )

The following bullets describe the system requirement of Paint.Net:

  • Windows XP (SP2 or later),
       or Windows Vista,
       or Windows Server (2003 SP1 or later)
  • .NET Framework 2.0 or newer (.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 recommended)
  • 500 MHz processor (Recommended: 800 MHz or faster)
  • 256 MB of RAM (Recommended: 512 MB or more)
  • 1024 x 768 screen resolution
  • 200+ MB hard drive space
  • 64-bit support requires a 64-bit CPU that is running a 64-bit version of Windows, and an additional 128 MB of RAM

GIMP may be another good choice for photo editing.

  • Explorer

Total Commander? No, I am not going to break the rules, I only use legal software. (I feel not very good now.) Free Commander  and xplorer might perform a well replacement for it.

  • OOPS, 1TB free web driver? It is true, OOSAH is really providing  1TB free space for you, you may be want to try it now.
