Introduction



Batch It! is at heart a Windows based Batch Image Processor which caters to the growing needs of the digital photographers at large. If you require a quick and easy program to resize and rename a huge patch of images, Batch It! is there for you.

Being digital photographers ourselves, Batch It! was built with the needs of mass audience. Unlike other imaging software with all the fluffs and loads of features you never need to use, Batch It! was built to be simple to use and comes with what you need. Part of the strength comes from its simplicity and ease of use and the other is its speed and accurate image reproduction.

Developing Batch It! is a labor of love. In 1998, we plunged into the world of digital photography after trading in our SLR cameras and found that we had the freedom to take as many pictures we like without worrying about cost of films and development but because of that, we ended up with tons of images but do not know what to do with them. We looked for tools available to handle batch image resizing but the tools at that point of time were simply too expensive and too difficult to use. That set us in motion and Batch It! was born. Since then, we have listened to our clients and added features that they requested. Our goal then and now was to develop simple to use programs which we know people would use.

The major features of Batch It! includes

·

Batch Image Resizing - With the influx of megapixels digital cameras, it is easy to take extremely huge images which may be good for prints but too large to share with friends or put up on the web. Batch It! allows you to resize images three ways, by pixel sizes, by percentage,by ratios and in frames. Framing creates uniform image dimensions while maintaining aspect ratios within the frames.

·

Batch Image File Renaming - Digital cameras would name all files with names which may not be representative of the photographs and it may be difficult to sort through them later. Batch It! allows you to batch rename the images to your liking such as "Julia's Birthday 01.jpg" or "Day at the Zoo 0002.jpg" . It need not be "P8012312.jpg" or "G1011102.jpg" anymore.

·	Batch Text Captioning - Batch It! allows you to add short text on images be it a short description, filename and date and time. With a short description, it would indeed make your images more meaningful. Adding copyright tags would assert your ownership of your works.

·	Batch Watermarking - Batch It! allows you to add small watermark logos or images onto the images. This can be copyright images or anything fancy.

·	Batch Image Rotation - The digital camera was made to take landscape images but at times it is not uncommon to take portrait images. Batch It! allows you to batch rotate them or you could define which image you want to rotate.

·	Batch Drop Shadow - Digital images right off the camera have very standard rectangular borders which makes the images look flat. Adding Drop Shadow would make the images stand out.
