Photonizer

Photonizer, the versatile photo management application, has recently released its latest version, 2.0.0.1. Developed by M. van Akkeren, Photonizer offers robust solutions for users running Windows 7, and 8, providing extensive support for managing and editing digital photo collections.

One of the standout features of Photonizer is its ability to create and manage personal digital photo albums. With Photonizer, attaching detailed information to your digital photos, such as persons appearing on photos, events, the year photos were taken, and descriptions, becomes effortless. This efficient tagging allows users to search their collection on any combination of these attributes, making it easy to find photos of particular individuals at specific events across various years.

Photonizer also excels in its ability to merge albums, create thumbnails, slide shows, and internet albums with just a few clicks. The latest improvements include support for a broader range of graphical formats, including bmp, dib, gif, jif, jpg, rle, tga, pcx, cut, ico, iff, koa, lbm, mng, pcd, png, pnm, psd, ras, tif, and wbmp files.

Moreover, Photonizer delivers enhanced thumbnail support, allowing the creation of thousands of thumbnails without bogging down your computer. The new version also boasts improved internet support, generating more efficient HTML with better layouts, and storing settings for future use.

Photonizer provides seamless integration with the operating system, as double-clicking an album in Windows Explorer will start the application immediately. The supported extensions for this program include ".pfa" files. Users can also leverage new features like adding all photos on a disk to albums, rotating photos during slideshows, and navigating through photos effortlessly. Photonizer can even open photos in your favorite edit tool or open the photo folder directly in Windows Explorer.

The program falls under the Photo & Graphics category and specifically, the Viewers & Editors subcategory. Users previously familiar with the versions 2005 or 2.0 will find the transition to the latest version smooth and beneficial.
