Software description as per GOTD:
Resize digital pictures and apply special effects easily and automatically. EvJO Photo-Image Resizer makes resizing multiple images as easy as downsampling a single one. Just select one or more pictures, drag and drop them onto EvJO Photo-Image Resizer, select your desired size and special effects to apply, and hit Convert to do the job. You can add watermarks, modify images’ brightness, contrast and saturation, and add frames and signatures.

1, 2, 3. 10/10

All I can say is that it wasn’t slow, even with the effects. 9/10

Arbitrary Equalizer

Total: 8.2/10
Quick Verdict: Thumbs up, NOT RECCOMENDED
FULL REVIEW:It is a very quick and easy install. It’s a good program, and if you have a use for it, grab it. I however don’t, because all of my programs that I use either fit to window or prompt me. (Plus it’s fun to do it in GIMP).
This is what it looks like:
When you 1st get it, register it by clicking register. Click close and click later to have the key register.
This is the window for browsing new files in single-file mode:
While they give us this in multi mode:
What are these?
There’s no select all button when dealing with multiple pictures.
But multi mode lets you name them whatever you want:
