Photo Snap

Photo Snap is a tool that allows you to view, edit and manage image files, with just a few clicks, as well as send them to your friends via e-mail, or create slideshows.

The setup process does not last very long and does not pose any issues, such as offers from third-party products or changes to your default web browser.

The interface you are greeted by might seem a bit confusing at first, yet everything will run smooth once you get used to it. There are several tabs you can easily switch between them, so that you can easily access all the available options, regardless of your previous experience with computers.

It comes with support for commonly used picture formats, namely ICO, JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF, and WMF, yet they can only be uploaded using a built-in file browser, seeing that the “drag and drop” feature is not supported.

It is possible to print these items directly from the main window, as well as add them to a Favorites folder, so that you can find them quicker. You can also e-mail them from a dedicated tab, by adding them as attachments.

The “Organize” panel helps individuals create photo albums, as well as add certain information to them, such as location, comments, search word and a short description.

New slideshows can be created, by uploading pictures and choosing a transition from a provided list, time interval to show them, background color and size of window.

Multiple operations such as copying, moving, renaming, sending or editing photographs can be performed using a batch method, from the dedicated tab (“Batch”).

Photo Snap also supports some multimedia formats, including MP3, WMA, WMV, MPG, WAV, MP4, WMV, MPG and AVI, and lets you play and stop them with the help of the incorporated playback controls.

Last but not least, you can access an array of editing options and use them in order to enhance your photos. To be more precise, you can flip, rotate and resize items, apply effects (e.g. blur, distortion, emboss, sepia, sharpen), adjust colors, use a pen to draw and insert custom text boxes.

To conclude, Photo Snap is a pretty efficient piece of software, which bundles a long list of options and tools. It may affect the computer’s performance from time to time, yet this also depends on the number of pictures you want to process. The response time is generally good, the interface is intuitive and we did not come across any errors, crashes or hangs in our tests.
