One of the most useful features in FSIV is its batch conversion. It provides interfaces with which to take screenshots or import photos from your camera or scanner, lets you tag images and create slideshows or image strips, and even contains a fair amount of image editing capabilities, including red-eye removal, image “healing”, and light balance and adjustment.

The main menu is rather extensive but logically organized and so within a short amount of time a moderate amount of familiarity can be achieved.įSIV is a richly stocked tool. Overall, the interface is reasonably succinct and organized the potential difficulty of adjusting to the large number of icons which serve as primary controls is eased by the tooltips which appear when the buttons are hovered over. Each of the three panels can be resized, although the toolbars themselves do not allow customization, and the layout of the panels in the program window can be changed between three options via a small button in the upper right hand side.

Sitting atop these three sections are a number of toolbars which provide access to most of FSIV’s commands and features.

Upon completing installation, the software will open a “Thank You” web page in your default browser (assuming an enabled internet connection.) The FSIV installer will also automatically add shortcuts to the desktop and in the start menu.įSIV is broken into three main panels: the hierarchical browser, the preview pane, and an in-depth folder browser. Installation is brief and does not attempt to include any accompanying software or toolbars. Installation of the main version uses a standard installation wizard, requiring only acceptance of a standard End User License Agreement and a choice of central directory. FSIV can be downloaded as an automated installer, a zip file, or in a portable executable form – however, it is only available for Windows systems.
