bracket

The Internet is filled with all sort of photo editors and managers, but it's not an easy task to find an application that meets all of your needs and comes at an affordable price.
One of them is bracket. It's a free and neat high-dynamic-range (HDR) photo manager. It comes with multiple tools and features that you could use in order to work on your pictures.

Sleek and clean graphical interface

The application installs quickly and it sports a really intuitive and modern graphical interface, that makes it easy to work with your pictures. It doesn't come with any customization options, although it would have been nice if it had some additional themes that you could apply to the application.
Still, it comes with all sort of tips and instructions that you could use in order to get accustomed to the application and its features.

Manage your pictures easily

The split screen makes it easy to navigate through various locations on your computer and load pictures from there. All images are displayed in thumbnails, to make it easier to identify them.
Double-click on an image to view it. You can crop or resize pictures saved in your computer. You can also zoom in or out on images, fit to window or keep the original size. You can also view image information, statistics or the histogram. Pixel information is also available. The application lets you rotate or flip images.

Additional features and tools

It supports multiple file formats including RGBE, EXR, and floating point TIFF (including LogLuv encoding). It also dabbles as a low-dynamic-range (LDR) photo manager by giving support to standard JPEG and TIFF image formats.
You can create, tonemap and display HDR images, as well as create or delete directories, copy, paste, delete or rename images. All in all, bracket is a very useful software solution that helps you manage your HDR images and make some changes to them.
