GIMP is a versatile graphics manipulation package. Numerous digital photo imperfections can be easily compensated for using GIMP. Fix perspective distortion caused by lens tilt simply choosing the corrective mode in the transform tools. Eliminate lens’ barrel distortion and vignetting with a powerful filter but a simple interface. GIMP is ideal for advanced photo retouching techniques.
Get rid of unneeded details using the clone tool, or touch up minor details easily with the new healing tool. With the perspective clone tool, it’s not difficult to clone objects with perspective in mind just as easily as with the orthogonal clone. GIMP includes a very unique support for various input devices out of the box. Pressure and tilt sensitive tablets, but also a wide range of USB or MIDI controllers. You can bind often-used actions to device events such as rotating a USB wheel or moving a MIDI controller’s slider. Change the size, angle or opacity of a brush while you paint, bind your favorite scripts to buttons. Speed up your workflow!
The file format support ranges from the common likes of JPEG (JFIF), GIF, PNG, TIFF to special use formats such as the multi-resolution and multi-color-depth Windows icon files. The architecture allows to extend GIMP’s format capabilities with a plug-in. You can find some rare format support in the GIMP plugin registry. Thanks to the transparent virtual file system, it is possible to load and save files to from remote locations using protocols such as FTP, HTTP or even SMB (MS Windows shares) and SFTP/SSH. To save disk space, any format can be saved with an archive extension such as ZIP, GZ or BZ2 and GIMP will transparently compress the file without you needing to do any extra steps.

PaRaMeter stands for “Page Rank Meter” – a free Google PageRank checking and monitoring tool. PageRank is one of the methods Google uses to determine how relevant and important a page is. PageRank is a “vote”, by all other pages on the Web telling Google how important a particular page is. It is one of the parameters of search engine ranking.
With PaRaMeter, you can easily check the page rank of multiple pages with one click. PaRaMeter is a free bulk PageRank checker. If you want to exclude some URLs, clear the checkbox to the left from these URLs. After the update is over, you should see the Page Rank values in the PR column. The Trend column shows the change since the last update.
- You can monitor PageRank in different Google datacenters now
- You can extract all URLs from a website to quickly check PageRank of each particular page

MRU Blaster is a program made to do one large task – detect and clean MRU (most recently used) lists on your computer. These MRU lists contain information such as the names and/or locations of the last files you have accessed. They are located ALL OVER your registry, and for almost ANY file type. By looking at these MRU lists, someone could determine what files you opened/saved/looked at, what their file names were, and much more! (And, in many cases, the lists are displayed in drop-down menus automatically.) With additional plug-ins that allow you to clean out your Temporary Internet Files and Cookies, MRU-Blaster enhances the protection of your privacy!
MRU Blaster safely, efficiently, and rapidly handles cleaning up tens of thousands of ”usage tracks” and other remnants that most programs leave behind. These remnants aren’t just a potential privacy concern – they can clog up your registry, and take up valuable space on your hard drive.Windows as well as most third-party programs are culprits. And MRU Blaster can detect and remove over 30,000 different MRUs and usage tracks.

FotoMix is an intuitive photo-editing tool that allows users to create dual-layer images, making it possible to add, remove, and combine elements. Although it doesn’t begin to compare to full-featured software like Photoshop, it’s not a bad choice for non-professional users who need something that’s quick and easy to use.
The program’s interface is quite simple, with the five-step photo-editing process arranged with buttons across the top. Users simply select a background image, select a foreground image, do the necessary editing on each, tweak the settings on the final composition, and save the result. We, for example, inserted a giant eggplant into the water in front of a small fishing village. We can’t say that it looked particularly realistic, but we can say that it is within the capabilities of FotoMix to combine elements from different images in a realistic way. We very rarely do any photo editing, but we found just about all of the program’s features to be intuitive, and the built-in Help file is well-written and thorough. We think that FotoMix is a great choice for users who don’t have much photo-editing experience but need a basic way to combine elements from different images or just perform basic edits and improvements on a single image; if nothing else, it’s an easy way to crop, rotate, and add text to images.

CleanMem keeps memory use in check on the system without the memory being pushed to the page file. This in turn keeps the system running smoother. CleanMem itself is totally free. When you install CleanMem it will auto run every 15 min by the Windows Task Scheduler. Once installed it is set it and forget it. Just as it always has been. You can configure CleanMem to do more advanced things such as ignore lists, only lists, and log files. These can be set by the CleanMem Settings program in the start menu.
The Mini Monitor is the only part of CleanMem that is the Free/Pro. All features in the mini monitor from v1.7.0 are included and still free, including some new features that where added as well. One very important thing is that there are no nag screens in the free version of the mini monitor and no pop ups asking you to upgrade to pro or anything like that. So the free version is still as helpful as it was before and the pro version adds more control and options for the power users.
