Today's giveaway comes with several interesting features designed to manage, modify and share image files with ease, making it user friendly and very easy to use.

With this tool users can group their pics by location, name, day etc... and/or convert & resize them at the push of a button, as well as adjust their time stamp or turn them into wallpapers.

And it's also a highly customizable app, since it enables you to customize categories with personalized icons, with the additional cool and unique ability to assign a single photo to different categories simultaneously.

Can also be used as a sort of "offline-archive organizer" to free up hard drive space, since it allows users to store their offline images on DVD or CD retaining the thumbnail versions of their images on their PC, so as to prompt them inserting a specific DVD or CD whenever they click on the thumbnail of an offline image. Cool, isn't it?

So overall, for what it does, I give it a THUMBS UP (43% Thumbs UP only?? Don't rate sw according to your needs only...damn!!).

....BUT....

....60 $??? Come on, mate....where do you live?? On Mars??

Humble pie, humble pie....please!!

* JetPhoto Studio
How about import your photos directly from a digital camera and then automatically organize them in albums, calendar and map by EXIF metadata, notes, keywords, time and geodata for FREE and then create slideshows, wallpaper and screensaver and/or publish flash and web galleries on the NET (Flickr) literally with a couple of mouse clicks?
And what if you could do the same with your VIDEO, raw, panorama and stereo files captured with your digital camera for FREE, with the ability to apply filters (black and white, sepia), send photos to mobile phones, add watermarks, batch rename files, merge GPS metadata into JPEG or RAW files and even geotag your photos by automatically organizing them by a built-in digital map for FREE??
Too good to be true, right? Wrong!!

I checked out the features on the website. It's pretty good if you have an obsolete version of Windows. If you have Windows 7, the free Microsoft Essentials (2012) plus the Microsoft Camera Codec pack has you covered. The Windows Search index handles everything in image and video files automatically. I prefer natural language queries with partial matching enabled. You get different results from Start Search, Find (Win-F), and Photo Gallery. It's still the case that no one has said a word about Win8 search, but I expect it to be a giant step down. Additionally, Win8 has Windows Store UI apps instead of Windows Essentials, but for the moment you can still install some of it in the Desktop UI. It goes without saying that Microsoft likes to discontinue useful software, but all of the other major players do, too. Big companies will buy little companies just to acquire one product or technology and discontinue the rest. Google is dismantling Nik Software, so if you're interested you might purchase what's still available while you can. The loser vote manipulator continues to wreak havoc on the GOTD voting. Comment votes above a couple of dozen are completely fake and meaningless. Even low-count votes may have been manipulated.

Got this free from one of the other daily software giveaway sites earlier this month. It does what it says on the box, but is way overpriced at $60. I can get the latest version of Photoshop Elements for an additional $30.

The developer really needs to consider reducing the price significantly.

I must say I'm perplexed at PicaJet being offered here. The user forum has been inactive for more than two years, and the program isn't being updated any more as development has moved to Daminion instead (see the link on this page). Worst, PicaJet never solved a bug which crashed/hung the program. I had great hopes for the program in its earlier days, but I've given up on it because of that unresolved bug. And no, it's definitely NOT worth $59.
