IrfanView 4.27

Na bijna een jaar is een nieuwe versie verschenen van de populaire gratis fotobeheerder IrfanView. In versie 4.27 van deze meer dan tien jaar oude fotobewerker zijn weer de nodige veranderingen doorgevoerd.

Zo zijn er verschillende menu-opties toegevoegd voor het bewerken van afbeeldingen en zijn de mogelijkheden voor batch-bewerkingen van meerdere foto's uitgebreid. Ook zijn veel plugins geüpdate.

Belangrijk is natuurlijk dat IrfanView nu ook geschikt is voor Windows 7. Ten slotte zijn veel kleine fouten gerepareerd. Let tijdens de installatie op als u niet de Google Toolbar en Google Desktop mee wilt installeren!
