The Browser

Just like Windows Explorer, Photo Explorer's Browser shows the hierarchy of drives and folders in your computer at the left hand side and displays the files in a selected folder at the right. What's special about Photo Explorer's Browser is that multimedia files can be shown as visual thumbnails for easier identification. Simply click a desired file to immediately get an idea of the file's contents. You can preview images and actually play sound, video or even GIF animation files without actually opening them. Basic image editing functions are also available for enhancing images. In addition, you can bring together images, videos and sounds to create a slide show.

Photo Explorer's Browser gives you different folder views. In the Folder Tree, you can switch to the Favorites list to create a collection of frequently visited folders. The Browser also keeps track of Recent folders you accessed and lets you return to them quickly.

About Ulead Photo Explorer

The Viewer

Photo Explorer has a built-in Viewer integrated with the Browser. You can use the built-in Viewer to:

Get a full-size or full-screen view of images. Navigate through images using the keyboard, toolbar buttons, or menu commands, or let Viewer automatically step through the images. Copy, rename or delete an image file. Copy an image for pasting onto your desired image editor. Rotate, flip and edit images, and then save the changes. Create wallpapers and screen savers using your images.

A standalone image viewer, the

Instant Viewer, also comes with Photo Explorer. It is a simpler, independent applic ation and its sole purpose is only for displaying images. Use Ulead Instant Viewer when you want to compare two or more full-size images. Each image will be opened in a separate window. You can also associate file types like JPG, GIF and BMP image files so that they will automatically display in the Ulead Instant Viewer.
