Color Picker - Pick up the color from any region of your screen, simply click on the color picker icon, and without releasing the mouse button, take the mouse cursor to the color you want to choose, and later you can copy the RGB value of color to the clipboard.
Raw Converter - Convert the raw images shot from DSLRs like Adobe DNG, Canon RAW File, Fuji Raw File, Minolta, Panasonic , Pentax, Nokia etc to JPG format.
Rename - Rename multiple photos in one go, choose the format for names of files, and hit the ‘Convert’ Button, it would have been better if the button would have been named as ‘Rename’.
The ‘EXIF’ button on Viewer, Editor, Batch Editor, and Combine Tabs – allows you to see almost every detail about the photo, including the camera model, focal length, flash etc.
