 evaluation by Macarlo
 

 Hi All! I was just seeking for a decent thumbnail creator in order to organize my Art Gallery (Frater Velado's Art Gallery, now running twice (http://macarlo.com/novaera/galleryvel.htm  and http://macarlo.net/novaera/galleryvel.htm) and the developer of ETC (Express Thumbnail Creator) sent me a new: Version 1.5 of this fine piece of software was released. I downloaded it, installed it on my Windows XP Professional and in few minutes my problem was definitely solved!! I evaluated this nice tool for artists and web designers and ratted it 5 Butterflies, the maximum here for a soft. Yeah, man, in just four minutes I created HTML pages with over 900 (I said 900!!) fine thumbnails from my Art Gallery. Take a look on the photo below:

Express Thumbnail Creator 1.5 is an image utility that lets users create professional looking online image galleries with ease using a wizard style interface. This makes the process quick, simple and relatively self-explanatory. Guided by the program, users simply add the pictures, click the preferences and the gallery is completed. Express Thumbnail Creator keeps the creation process simple and understandable for users of all skill levels, with or without any knowledge of the web or HTML. An extensive help system is accessible through pressing the F1 key, which explains every function and detail of the program is available in the unlikely event that users get stuck.

Express Thumbnail Creator gives users amazing flexibility in the gallery creation process. Users who want galleries quickly can use either the default or pre-built HTML templates to create the galleries. Others willing to put in time and effort can customize the look and feel of the galleries to suit their preferences. With some knowledge of HTML, users can even customize their own pages, with total control over every tiny detail of the gallery. These pages and galleries can then be saved as new templates to be reused in the future.

Express Thumbnail Creator comes with powerful capabilities without sacrificing ease and flexibility of use. It is able to recognize all popular image formats for the galleries, and even allows users to resize the pictures using advanced algorithms normally available only in high-end image editors. Whether users need to create a personal online photo album, or a commercial image library, Express Thumbnail Creator gives users the tools to handle their needs easily.
