For years I have used a software application called CompuPic Pro to manage and edit/resize my pictures. It worked great on a Windows computer until recently when I replaced my old computer with a new HP Pavilion running Windows 64-bit Vista. CompuPic was last revised in 2003 and is no longer being updated.

I didn't want an application like Picassa that wants to take over all pictures on my computer like a photo nanny. But then I discovered a fantastic program called FastStone Image Viewer.

You can download and use it for free, but they request a donation. After just a few minutes using the program, I made my on-line donation ($15). Very good value. Here's the summary description from the FastStone website:

FastStone Image ViewerImage is a fast, stable, user-friendly image browser, converter and editor. It has a nice array of features that include image viewing, management, comparison, red-eye removal, emailing, resizing, cropping and color adjustments. Its innovative but intuitive full-screen mode provides quick access to EXIF information, thumbnail browser and major functionalities via hidden toolbars that pop up when your mouse touches the four edges of the screen.

Other features include a high quality magnifier and a musical slideshow with 150+ transitional effects, as well as lossless JPEG transitions, drop shadow effects, image annotation, scanner support, histogram and much more.

It supports all major graphic formats (BMP, JPEG, JPEG 2000, animated GIF, PNG, PCX, TIFF, WMF, ICO and TGA) and popular digital camera RAW formats (CRW, CR2, NEF, PEF, RAF, MRW, ORF, SRF and DNG).
You won't be disappointed.
