Software:

Breeze Browser is the easiest most intuitive image viewing software around. I use it to view, organize, batch rename, batch caption and create "web galleries". In my opinion, for $69 Breeze Browser is the best deal around!

Breeze Browser lets you view and edit EXIF and ITPC data. You can batch caption and batch rename very easily. If you have inadvertently set your cameras to the wrong date and time, you can even go back and adjust the time EXIF data.

Although I only shoot jpeg, Breeze browser supports most Nikon and Canon RAW files.

Some cool features of Breeze Browser include the ability to set sharpening, size and compression for both the viewer, HTML page generation feature and slide show. Breeze Browser' HTML generator, makes pages that automatically fill every browser according to the size of the window which is selected by the viewer !

When making automatic web galleries you can even make a custom the template using Dreamweaver or other HTML editors. I drop my logo and link into every gallery I create! The HTML feature is useful when getting images ready for the web…just select the size and compression you need, run the HTML generator, then dump the thumbnails (thm) and the web pages (htm), and you are left with the images you need.

You can put your HTML galleries on a CD and make them auto-run with two "magic files', autorun.exe and autorun.inf, both are available out there on the web, just do a Google search.

I could go on and on, but go download a trial copy for yourself and play around. I think you will agree that Breeze Browser is fantastic !

The only complaint I have is that I wish Breeze Browser had was a nice dissolve transition for slide shows rather than a "cut". Drop Chris an email and maybe he will add it to the next version.
