PhotoWorker 2 Features

Conversion Type

Choose conversion type you want.
Fixed width and height, keep aspect ratio by cropping
Do necessary cropping and resizing to make the resulting image is exactly the size you set. e.g., if you have a picture of 300 (width) * 200 (height), and you want to create a thumbnail of 100 * 100, PhotoWorker will first crop some of the left and right portion to a 200 * 200 picture, then resample the picture to 100 * 100. How to crop is set by "Horizontal Crop Left" and "Vertical Crop Top". If "Horizontal Crop Left" is 50%, then it will crop 50 pixels of left portion, and 50 pixels of right portion. If it is 0%, then 100 pixels of right portion is cropped out.
Example:
Before(300*200) After(100*100, 50% left) After(100*100, 0% left)
Fixed width and height, keep aspect ratio by padding
Do necessary resizing and padding to make the resulting image is exactly the size you set. e.g., if you have a picture of 300 (width) * 200 (height), and you want to create a thumbnail of 100 * 100, PhotoWorker will first resize the picture to 100 * 66, then add padding color on top and bottom of the picture to make the final image 100 * 100. How to pad is set by "Horizontal Crop Left" and "Vertical Crop Top". If "Vertical Crop Top" is 50%, then it will pad 17 pixels wide to the top, and 17 pixels wide to the bottom. If it is 0%, then 34 pixels wide to the bottom is padded.
Example:
Before(300*200) After(100*100, 50% top) After(100*100, 0% top)
Maximum width and height
Limit the converted image's maximum width and height. If the original image's width or height is larger than specified width or height, resize the image. Otherwise do not resize it. e.g., by a limit of 100*100, a 1200*800 will become 100*66; a 50*50 image will still be 50*50.
Example:
Before(300*200) After(100*100)
Fixed width, keep ratio
Change all images' width to specified width; change height accordingly. e.g., if you set image width to 100, a 1200*800 image will be 100*66; a 50*50 image will be 100*100
Fixed height, keep ratio
Almost the same as "Fixed width, keep ratio"
Change by ratio
Change image size by a specified ratio. e.g., by 50% ratio, a 1200*800 image will become 600*400.
No resize
Do not resize images.
Fixed width and height
Change all images' sizes to specified width and height. e.g., if you set width*height as 100*100, a 1200*800 image will be 100*100. Note that aspect ratio is not kept.
Fixed width
Change all images' width to specified width. e.g., if you set width as 100, a 1200*800 image will be 100*800. Note that aspect ratio is not kept.
Fixed height
Almost the same as "Fixed Width"

Add shadow and overlay

You can add shadow and/or overlay another image (useful for creating watermarks).
Example:
Before(300*200) After(200*200, 2*2 frame with shadow, overlay)
