Photo Finesse

Photo Finesse is a simple-to-use program that enables you to perform some editing operations to your images with the GIF, PNG, JPG and JPEG formats. It can be easily handled, even by less experienced users.
The interface of the tool is based on a standard window where you can import images by using only the file browser because the "drag and drop" functionality is not included. Unfortunately, you cannot work with multiple image files in a single session.
So, you can crop the photo, zoom in and out, add borders (solid color, image, blend two images), adjust the brightness and contrast levels, as well as apply effects (sepia, cartoon or canvas). The resulted picture can be saved with the JPG, JPEG, GIF or PNG format. Plus, you can print items.
The simplistic image processing tool runs on a moderate amount of CPU and system memory. It has a good response time, includes a help file for first-time users and did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs throughout our testing. We have not come across any problems.
On the downside, Photo Finesse is very limited. For example, you cannot apply additional effects like black and white, posterize, distortion or blur. Plus, you cannot configure program settings, such as making Photo Finesse minimize to the system tray.
