Description
Portable and highly functional, Maymeal PicEdit combines some of the high-end features of expensive image editing software with the speed of a small, handy program.
As a portable program, Maymeal PicEdit performs its functions on the go. It quickly pulls images into the program and they are instantly ready for editing, gives you the possibility to insert arrows, lines, rectangles, ellipses, and polygons, rotate the image to different angles or arbitrarily transform, zoom in or out, and set up the canvas parameters.
What's more, you are allowed to add text messages in the desired area, select the text transparency, and add a background layout.
The program lets you embed watermarks, specify their rotation angle and opacity, set up the margin parameters, and pick a color as the transparent color.
One of the nice features is the "Restore" button, which restores the original image, even after extensive editing has taken place.
Other notable characteristics bundled in this app are represented by the possibility to adjust the levels of brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation, alter the RGB value, use a brush for changing the color of the skin and hair, remove the red eye effect, and apply mosaic effects.
Maymeal PicEdit comes packed with various special effects and offers a preview mode for each of them, such as grayscale, colorizing, increasing or decreasing light, denoising option, warm yellow or red images, and others.
Last but not least, you can choose between different frames, perform basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, delete), print the photo, copy it to the Clipboard, or save to a file, as well as undo or redo your actions.
All in all, Maymeal PicEdit offers a useful set of functional image editing tools for both novice and more advanced users and photographers. The feature pack is solid and, given its ease of use, this tool could be one of the first choices for all types of users, regardless of their experience level.

Portable and highly functional, Maymeal PicEdit combines some of the high-end features of expensive image editing software with the speed of a small, free program.
As a portable program, Maymeal PicEdit performs its functions on the go. It quickly pulls images into the program and they are instantly ready for editing. One of the nice features is the "Restore" button, which restores the original image, even after extensive editing has taken place. The user can also step backwards to eliminate some, but not all, of the editing. The initial palette includes a variety of immediate variations for fast touch-ups. Under the Basic tab, the program shows images with more or less light, grayscale, monochrome, sharpened or blurred, and other variations. Stylized options include lomo and vignette, along with manual options that include mosaic, colorize, highlighting, and coloring. The manual options enable the user to modify only a particular portion of the picture, whereas the quick choices modify the entire image. In addition, there is also a "Scene" option, which modifies the image similar to what some camera filters will do: sunspots, snow, stars, droplets, and hearts, etc. It also comes with options to frame pictures in many different ways. The user can draw on the photo and add shapes and text as well as access some basic photo editing tools such as red-eye correction, rotation, cropping, and watermarking. While Help files are non-existent, sending an e-mail to the author results in a personal answer to any questions.
