AutoImager Review

AutoImager is supposed to be able to do two things: 1) convert images from one format to another, and 2) modify them with built-in editing features.

It's pretty simple to use. All you have to do is to select an image that you want to edit or convert in the program, tick the settings you want to distort your picture with (or select the file format you want to convert it to), press the "process files" button, and select a folder you want to put it in. A simple four step process.

But, it's just a bit too simple. Unfortunately, if you want to convert a different picture, or convert it using different settings or formats, you have select the folder you want to put it in again. And again. And again. It's very tedious and annoying.

Furthermore, they don't give you any idea of what each "filter" (as the program calls it) should look like as a final result. By experimenting, I found out that some of the filters such as aqua and auto-trim apparently do nothing. And red eye treatment doesn't work properly.

However, most of the other settings do pretty much what they're expected to do (waves distorts the picture in a wavy pattern, for instance), and some of them produce interesting effects. The mirror (rounded) filter, for instance, crops a picture so only an ovular picture is left. It looks like it came from inside of a locket, or from a round picture frame.

And there are most definitely more patterns and edits this program's capable of.

It's capable of converting files so you can edit them by hand, too (or to make them useful wherever they need to be). AutoImager does an excellent job at converting a file from one format to another. I have no complaints about that.

Is this all worth $51 though? If it's for the editing, maybe $15 or $20. But if you use it to convert images, then yes, I think so.
