XnView Software

Thanks for the tip. I did try your hints and after a while I was able to get a photo on screen and it had a tool bar above it that allowed Cropping. It did not seem to be something direct in you comment; but, something that happened as I played around. I will need to take more time and see if I can ...

Was that a question or comment? If a comment, I can not find any "Image/Crop" items as Iook through the menus. If a question I will try to answer if you wish.

XnTriq, your advice actually helped. For a long time I was thinking you had not given me the good news. So I just started to trying different things. Try and delete. Try something else and delete. Change more numbers and delete. Then finally i noticed something good happening. I ended up changing ...

XnTriq, Thanks for this help. I will start with what you have given me and see if I can carry on to a finished product. Maybe, maybe not.

It appears that -- Tools>Batch Processing or Tools>Sequence Conversions will take you to the same next screen called Batch Processing. So what is the difference ...

OK, I have made some progress but still need more help if I can get it. Here is what I have discovered so far.

XnView Labels for photo's

Steps for placing labels on or beside photo's.

Place text within the photo.

Actions:

I have found myself somewhat confused, maybe because of terminology and lack of one step at a time training or help.

I first heard of this product in a labeling article http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/labelling.html and also http://www.rideau-info.com/genealogy/digital/captioning.html within the ...
