Peter Staack Product Testimonials & Reviews

Except for a web browser and email client, no program gets more use in our office than ThumbsPlus Pro 7.0. We've been regularly using ThumbsPlus since version 4, and it has saved us many hours, and tons of aggrivation, with all of it's image editing and organizing features. TP 7.0 has been the best and most-stable version to-date, with support for even more image and document formats, more robust editing, and better automation.

We work with literal THOUSANDS of artwork files and web images for our customers, in many different formats. Sorting through all the different versions can be a chore, even with our intuitive naming systems. ThumbsPlus Pro 7.0 makes it easy to add keywords and IPTC info to images, so we can quickly search for them. As well, it automatically generates thumbnails of all images, for fast browsing. This makes sorting through images much more painless, than it once was before we started using ThumbsPlus. We can also generate quick contact sheets at various sizes and resolutions for print or screen viewing.

When it comes to image editing, it has many of the most important features covered - orientation, resolution, size, hue, gamma, brightness, contrast, and more. It has a number of effects like blur, sharpen, noise, etc. ThumbPlus also has automatic procedures like red-eye removal, noise & artifact cleanup, video deinterlace, lighting adjustment, tone overlays, and more. It won't replace Adobe Photoshop for complicated image manipulation, but it's perfect for more mundane tasks that don't require the more resource-hungry Photoshop.

A real time saver for our web design has been the ThumbsPlus automation tools. ThumbsPlus 7 can quickly and easily convert file formats, supporting JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TGA, TIFF, JPG2000, and more. It automates all of the different edits and procedures listed above. ThumbsPlus can also generate separate thumbnail images, and web-interactive HTML galleries.

ThumbsPlus 7.0 SP2 is available for Windows XP, 2000, 2003 and Vista. You can even try it out, before buying it. For my line of work, it was an easy decision to get a pro license for ThumbsPlus. It's saved me a lot of time and effort, and was worth every penny.
