Easy Photo Print Upgrades/Alternatives

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.slr-systems (More info?)

I am just learning baout a new 20D. AS remarked on elsewhere, most/all
shots require a tweak to bring up the brightness.

No problem with Photoshop but time consuming.

The simple "Easy Photo Print" software could be much faster with batch jobs
IF it had an overall brightness/exposure or gamma correction feature. But
it doesn't.

And Easy Photo Print does setup multiples images nicely fro the printer.

Does anyone have a reccomendation for a simple, batch program that would add
brightness/ exposure or gamma correction features to a simple program
similar to "Easy Photo Print?

Thank you.

Yes, for quickly crunching a big set down to web or email size &
applying a standard fix, Irfan is great and super fast.

Save Settings/Load Settings is a handy way to save a group of settings,
gamma contrast, sharpening, re-size, etc.

I wouldn't use it for full size images though. For shooting jpeg, just
increase the contrast settings (not sure what the 20D has exactly in
that regard), for shooting RAW in ACR change the default brightness etc
so most pics come up corrected as "camera default".
