Color Manipulation
Batch Conversion
With LEADViEW's batch conversion feature, you can convert a batch of image files with different formats to a single file format. Also with LEADViEW, you can convert pages in multi-page image files to separate single-page files, using a file format you choose. Additionally, LEADViEW batch conversion gives you the ability to convert both Raster and Vector formats (supported by LEADViEW) to Raster formats.
Image Browser
File Browser lets you view, sort, and process image files. This dialog enables better image management since the user can see a preview of the image file before performing any operation on it. Use the File Browser to perform tasks such as copying, renaming, moving, deleting, and batch converting images. Also, view individual file information and data. For fast and easy access, the Browser has its own window, which can remain open or minimized in the workspace while you edit images.

Painting Tools
Paintbrush:
LEADViEW paintbrush capabilities extends the user's drawing experience by enabling him/her to control the size, stroke contents, brush edge softness, spacing between strokes, stroke transparency, and brush contents density. Also, change the bleed rate of the brush by controlling the way the paint fades as it approaches the edge of a brush stroke (as if painting with a wet brush).
Shapes:
Simple and complex shapes can be drawn easily with LEADViEW. Lines, rectangles, ellipses, polygons, and curves can be created with great power over the shape appearance, by controlling the background filling style via choosing between solid color, color gradients, patterns, and transparent filling. Also, manipulate the shape border style, width, shape corners form and color, as well as adjust the transparency over the image.
Selections:
Create manual selections such as rectangular, elliptical, polygonal, and free-hand. LEADViEW also supports automatic selections through surface, border, and color selections. Surface selects all adjacent pixels that are similar in color to the pixel that is clicked. Border selects adjacent pixels until it reaches a certain chosen boundary color, while Color Selection will select all pixels in the bitmap similar to the color clicked. The automatic selection methods allow setting of the selecting tolerance which will control the amount of variance allowed from the color to be selected.
Filling:
Fill images through a variety of background styles including solid colors, color gradients, and pattern bitmaps. Fill transparency can be set to allow some of the original background to be visible throughout the fill. Three filling methods are available in LEADViEW; Surface, which will fills adjacent pixels that are similar in color value to the pixel that is clicked; Border, which will fills adjacent pixels until it reaches a certain selected boundary color; and Color Replace, which replaces the color of all pixels in the bitmap similar to the color that is clicked. Each of the filling methods allows the user to set the filling tolerance which will control the amount of variance allowed from the color to be filled.
Text drawing:
Draw text in LEADViEW with this sophisticated feature control. Control the font, background style, character edges style, and transformations (scale, and angle). Also available is the ability to set the text alignment and opacity. As in all other painting tools you'll have the ability to simulate paper "grain" just as natural tools react with the texture of the surfaces beneath them.
