TIFF image files can be pretty large. For digital camera owners and others who use a lot of TIFFs, specialized tools can make a big difference. Softplicity's TiffCombine is an interesting utility that can combine several TIFF pages into one TIFF or PDF file for easy storing and handling.

Opening the program first opens a language selection dialog; we chose English. TiffCombine's efficient, well configured interface features a central display pane flanked by a left-hand tree view for browsing and navigating and a resizable right-hand preview pane that also opens in a separate window when you click the … Read more

The DjVu file format was created to provide a lightweight way to digitize information stored in traditional hard-copy formats. Scans and other digital images can be stored at a high resolution using DjVu without the prohibitively large files sizes that come along with formats like JPEG, GIF, and PNG. Because the DjVu format isn't particularly common, users sometimes need to convert DjVu files to a more accessible file type. And that's where STDU Converter Lite comes in.

This is one of the smallest and simplest applications we've ever seen, and it does one very specific thing; it … Read more

NewView Graphics' File Viewer is a basic image viewer and photo editor that allows users to make simple changes to their images. Although the program works fine, there are definitely more sophisticated options for doing this sort of work.

The program's interface is dated and plain, and it's not immediately clear how to get started. The fact that we couldn't actually open a file using the File menu threw us a little bit. It turns out that users must navigate to their desired location from the Directory pane within the program; a separate pane displays the contents … Read more

People who use a lot of files in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) but can't afford one of Adobe's high-end products often end up buying third-party utilities designed to make creating and managing PDFs easier, which they do, but since many cost $50 or more, it quickly becomes an expensive proposition.

Image TIFF Jpeg Text to Pdf Converter led us to believe that this program converts image files, JPEGs, and TIFFs, as well as TXT files to PDFs. That is not the case. The program can convert JPEGs or TIFFs to PDFs, but does not support TXT files.

Image TIFF Jpeg Text to Pdf Converter's interface is bare bones but functional. The program does what it is set out to do, but there is no flair at all. The program allowed us to convert multiple files at a time, but produced a PDF of each file, rather than a PDF … Read more

Gmail can now open up PowerPoint presentations as well as .TIFF-formatted images that have been received as attachments in its HTML, multi-page document viewer.

The service has been able to open up .PPT-formatted presentations in its presentations viewer since mid-2007. Under the new system, however, the presentations are displayed in the service's recently renovated PDF viewer that forgoes the need for Adobe Flash in place of basic HTML, and gives users the option to zoom, print, see page previews, and search within it. On some files it also gives users the option to send the presentation straight to Google … Read more
