Multimedia Factory

The Multimedia Factory program, developed by Nokia, is an all-encompassing multimedia tool designed for the Photo & Graphics category, specifically under Viewers & Editors. The latest version, 1.3, is a comprehensive suite that blends four essential sections—graphics, graphic reduction, sound, and video—into one cohesive solution.

In the Graphics Section, users can easily view and edit graphic files in numerous formats including BMP, DIB, JIF, JPG, JPEG, PBM, PCX, PGM, PNG, PPM, RLE, TGA, TIF, TIFF, ICO, PDF, and WMF. It can display true color graphics efficiently with an optimized palette and utilizes Floyd Steinberg Dithering on 256-color systems while retaining the true color data within memory.

Key functionalities include using an OpenDialog and a SaveDialog for file previews, ensuring that you always know which graphic file is selected. There are a variety of color filters available such as RGB, CMY, YCbCr, HLS, and HSV. Moreover, special effect filters are provided to adjust a graphic’s brightness, contrast, and gamma, and features like sharpen, smooth, blur, and contour can be applied. In addition, the program offers options to grayscale a graphic with or without RGB weighing.

Multimedia Factory is compatible with Windows 8, and the installation file is named MMFacty.exe. Although version 1.3 is the latest, it is part of a series that includes version 3.1 and earlier 1.1. This tool stands out due to its integration and comprehensive set of features.
