"Easy Flash Maker" (SWF Creator)

is a tool to

create simple Macromedia Flash Movies (SWF files)

quickly and easily (click to see samples). It is well known that Flash creation using professional software is very difficult process for beginners and even for more experienced users. We have tried to make this process as simple and convenient as possible. The simplest

movie can be created and stored as *.SWF file

for a few seconds. Moreover, this program can automatically create an animation for the selected object using starting and finishing points. The way to create really impressive animated

SWF movie

using "Easy Flash Maker" is very simple:

1) Add an object (rectangle, circle, text, picture etc.) to the movie.
2) Go to the first frame (or to any other starting frame) and set the starting properties for it (position, angle, colors etc.).
3) Go to the last frame (or to any other finishing frame) and define the finishing properties for this object (position, angle, colors etc.). While edge frames are being edited, all the intermediate frames will be automatically recalculated to get animation effect (including position, angle, colors etc.).
4) Test the movie.

You can add another object to the movie or edit each frame manually, if need it.

Not too difficult, isn't it?

This is an

advanced tool for batch conversion of graphic files

with a lot of

image processing features

from rotating, resizing, DPI changing, adding an anti-theft "X", overlaying text and/or a graphic watermark onto the image to more advanced requirements such as leveling RGB, HSL, brightness, contrast, gamma, adding

IPTC

information such as captions, keywords or photographer name, etc...

In contrast to other

batch image format converters

, "Picture-Desk" enables you to select individual

images or select groups of images

(as many groups as you like) to convert in different ways, but all part of the single

batch process.

Let's imagine this simple task, you would like to insert text and a graphic watermark into 100 images, but amongst them, 10 files must be rotated clockwise, 20 anti-clockwise, the remaining 70 need no rotation. "Picture-Desk" achieves this (and every other task you select) in a single

batch process,

because you can set the individual

conversion parameters to each image or to a group of images!

"Picture-Desk" batch image file format converter

supports a lot of

graphic formats

EXIF

data also can be edited in batch as well as for single file.
