Among the many advantages of internet is the platforms it offers to artists or photographers to sell their work independently without having to sign on to a label or publication. It’s a good practice that not only lets others buy media for their own websites, blogs and magazines at affordable rates, but also rewards the sellers with decent compensation in return for their hard work. If you’re an artist, photographer or designer who wants to share their work by giving others a glimpse of their creativity without really showing their full work due to the fear of plagiarism, Snap2IMG can come pretty useful. This portable application allows you to create thumbnail sheets of images and can come handy under various scenarios such as viewing a photo collection, publishing image thumbnails on photo sharing websites, or simply taking preview printouts for huge albums.

Most users sort their files according to date and time information in order to easily differentiate between different versions without much hassle. Timestamps found in the properties of files contain information regarding when the file was created, when was it modified the last time and the most recent date and time it was accessed by someone. This allows you to quickly search a certain cluster of files that were created, modified, or accessed at a particular date, as well as group them together. By default, Windows only permit removing the metadata items one by one using the File Properties dialog, and you have to use third-party applications for updating file access, creation, and modification date and timestamp information in a batch. EXIF Date Changer is one such application for Windows that allows you to easily change the date and time stamp of images. You can adjust the time to a value of your choice, or increment the current date and time with a specified amount, down to a specific date, hour, minute and second. Read More
