.NET Framework 4.5, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, 2.0 & 1.1 Offline

As many of the new Microsoft Windows applications are developed using .NET Framework, it is becoming mandatory to install .NET Framework on our personal computers. Microsoft provides .NET Framework installer as a free download available to everyone. But it is an online installer. That means, initially we have to download a small piece of installer and upon starting the installation process the installer automatically connects to Microsoft servers and downloads the required components and completes the installation.
The online installers works great as long as we have internet connectivity always. But many of us required offline installer to install the software on computers not connected to internet, to save the bandwidth while installing on many computers, etc.
I gathered a set of links on Microsoft servers from where we can download the offline installers of .NET Framework 4.0, 3.5, .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1, .NET Framework 3.0, .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 1.1.

JetAudio 8.0.14

JetAudio is a solid, feature-rich media player that works with many popular video and audio formats and includes interesting extra functionality.

Even in its basic, most simple version, JetAudio offers loads of nice tools to enjoy your collection of music and videos. It features a nicely designed interface with support for skins and visualizations – though not as many as Winamp. You can also run JetAudio as an extra bar that sits on the Windows taskbar and control its main functions from there without interrupting your work.

The main purpose of JetAudio is obviously playing audio and video files. The program includes elements with which you can improve playback and make it more enjoyable, such as sound effects, cross-fading between songs and support for lyrics.

But that's not all. JetAudio also features a bunch of extra tools that enable you to rip CDs, record sound, convert music files from one format to another, listen to online radio stations and burn your favorite MP3 to CD.

JetAudio is a complete, handy media player for anyone that would like to do more than just play audio and video files.

ACDSee 12 can display a JPEG version of a RAW file, so you can still see what it looks like. You can also convert it to other file formats, like JPEG, TIFF, or PNG, for convenient sharing and publishing. If you want to develop the RAW image, you'll need ACDSee Pro.

Edit Selectively
Use the Selections tool to choose a specific area of your photo. Correct exposures, change the color, adjust details, or add a special effect to part of your photo instead of the entire image. You can even save your selections for ongoing use.
Frame Your Memories
Add a border to your favorite photos. Customize the color, texture and thickness to suit your shot. You can also blur or raise the edges, and add a drop shadow to perfectly complement the mood and atmosphere of your photo. Or, try a vignette to really emphasize your photo subject.
Be Creative
Choose from more than 20 special effect filters, including Oil Paint, Pencil Drawing and Sepia. Preview the results of each effect on your photo before selecting the one you prefer. Adjust a specific area or the entire photo. Your original photos are always saved, so go ahead and experiment!
Achieve the Best Light and Color
Rescue photos that are too light or too dark with the Lighting tool. Instantly lighten shadows and reduce highlights in one click, or adjust individual sliders to fine tune every aspect. Change the tonal range, white balance, and color balance of your photos with easy-to-use adjustment tools.
Share
With ACDSee there are so many ways to share your memories. Whether you prefer to print, burn, upload or e-mail, ACDSee 12 makes it easy to showcase your favorite photos with friends, family and the world.
Share and Protect Your Photos Online
Simply drag and drop files from ACDSee 12 to your account on ACDSeeOnline.com. Keep your images organized online as you do on your desktop and tag your best shots.

Print Smart at Home
Take the guesswork out of home photo printing, thanks to ACDSee's smart print layout tools. ACDSee works within your print margins and helps you print multiple prints on a single page, fill an entire page, or create custom print sizes. Personalize your printouts with captions beneath your images, and add helpful information to your page headers and footers. Save time and let ACDSee automatically pull the text for captions, headers and footers from the ACD database, file properties or EXIF and IPTC metadata.
Create with Your Photos
Design slide shows and screensavers of your favorite photos, and share them with friends and family, or display them on your Web site. Save your slide show or screensaver project to edit at a later time. Create PDFs from your images or combine images into a PDF slide show. Plus, craft customized HTML albums for posting on the Web.

Icon Packager

IconPackager in Action
Overview
What makes IconPackager special is that unlike Microsoft's themes which only change a few icons, IconPackager changes hundreds of icons. A package of icons contains icons to replace most of the common icons on your Windows PC.

Everything from "My Computer", "Recycle Bin", Folders, all the way to specific file format icons such as .doc and .xls files and any other file type a user wishes to use. With its shell integration, IconPackager also allows users browsing through their system to right-click on any file and go to the added "Icon" tab and change the icon.

Download

IconPackager 4 is here and with this new release comes several new features, some of which will definitely please users of Windows Vista, and XP alike. If you aren't too familiar with IconPackager, let me first start off with telling you what exactly IP does. IconPackager is an application that allows you to change the icons in Windows. The big advantage of using IconPackager is that it changes nearly the entire set of Windows icons at one time, so you don't have to change each icon individually. This is done using sets of icon "pack", which there are hundreds available for download.

New User Interface

The first thing you will most likely notice is the completely new user interface. The layout is much more clean and it's way easier to find both common and advanced settings and functions. At the top of the configuration you have a set of tabs, that when clicked, will give you several more options for that particular section.

New user interface

In the "Look & Feel" section this is where you can browse, preview, and apply all your installed icon packages. If you have a bunch of icon packs installed, IconPackager will let you sort through those by category type, and there are two different views for you to browse from.

Sort by category

Coloring Icons

There are so many great icon packs available, but what if you find one that just isn't the right color? IconPackager will allow you to easily recolor the icons in a given set. Using the various sliders in the Colors section, you can adjust the icon packs to a color more suitable for your skin or theme.

Icon coloring

If changing the color just isn't enough, then IP4 also has several filters that allow you to really change the looks of the icons.

Live Folders

If you use Windows Vista than you might be familiar with the Live Folders feature. This feature in Vista gives you an icon showing the contents of the folder, not just a static icon. IconPackager not only supports this, but will also allow users to set Live Folder icons independent of the icon package. This can be very useful for icon packs that don't have Live Folder icon specified.

Shell Integration

If you are browsing through your files in Windows Explorer and stumble upon one that needs an icon change, there is no need to open the IP configuration. Right-click the file and select the icon tab from the popup menu. A new menu will appear and you can simply drag and drop a new icon in its place. There are also several options available here also such as just changing the icon for the selected file only. I use this to change the icons of individual files to make sorting and finding them even easier.

Scale Pre-Vista Icons

Windows Vista has been out for a while now, but there are still many more icon packages made way before Vista was around. IconPackager 4 introduces a feature that will scale icons to the 256x256 size of Vista icons. This is great because you can now use those icon packs that had icons that just weren't made for Vista. This setting can be found in the Settings tab.

IconPackager 4 settings

IconPackager is part of the Object Desktop suite of desktop enhancements, and is also available as a stand-alone application for Windows XP and Vista. There is a free trial available and the full version is $19.95, with discounts for existing IconPackager users. More information can be found at the IconPackager website.

PhotoFiltre Studio X

Introduction


PhotoFiltre Studio is a complete image retouching program. It allows you to do simple or advanced
adjustments to an image and apply a vast range of filters on it. It is simple and intuitive to use, and
has an easy learning curve. The toolbar, giving you access to the standard filters with just a few
clicks, gives PhotoFiltre Studio a robust look. PhotoFiltre Studio also has layer manager (with Alpha
channel), advanced brushes, nozzles (or tubes), red eye corrector, batch module and lot of other
powerful tools.

The filters


Its wide range of filters allows novice users to familiarize themselves with the world of graphics.
You can find the standard adjustment functions (Brightness, contrast, dyed, saturation, gamma
correction) and also artistic filters (watercolor, pastels, Indian ink, pointillism, puzzle effect).



Vectorial selections


PhotoFiltre Studio uses two types of vectorial selections. The first type uses automatic shapes
(rectangle, ellipse, triangle, rhombus, rounded rectangle). The second type corresponds to the
lasso and polygon. They both allow a customized form by drawing a shape by hand or using a
series of lines. Every selection can be saved into a seperate file, to be used later on.



 The brushes


PhotoFiltre Studio has some standard brushes (round and square in different sizes), but also
some more varied forms (oblique line, custom shapes, ...).



The Rainbow option lets you draw a gradient along the line. More effects than 3D, Pastels and
Charcoal are available too.

The Layers




 Each picture has an independant Layers Frame. Three thumbnail sizes are available:
- Standard size (see the screenshot above)
- Large size
- Invisible (Null size)

PhotoFiltre Studio can handle several layers type:
- Bitmap Type: (eg. : Cut/Paste Operations)
- Text Type : Dynamic, it can be modified at any time
- Settings Type : provides Real-Time gamma, contrast or Hue adjustements
- Color Type : provides Real-Time transparents effects

Some Drop Shadow Options are available in Bitmap & text mode.

Automatic Stoke and Fill option




This option lets you fill with colors or draw strokes of a vectorial shape automatically. Very useful
for creating organization charts for example, by using Line Tool with Single or Double-Sided arrows.

The Erase Tool




Very effective for make some hand-drawing area, this tool can be used like the brush but instead of
drawing, PhotoFiltre Studio erases the selected area and make visible the transpareny grid
(Transparent or RGBA mode) or the lower layer (multi-layer mode)

Automatic Transparent Gradient tool


I have added some Transparent Gradient features in order to simplify Image editing. These functions
operates on the Alpha channel directly.

Red Eye correction feature




This feature can be enabled with the Retouch Tool by selecting the part of the picture to soften.
Red Eye removal is very easy to use.

Animated-GIF generator

This module uses the layers to generate an animated GIF file. Each frame is calculated by merging
the visible layers one-by-one. General options are available (Delay, loop...)

 The PhotoMasque module


With PhotoMasque you can create advanced effects of contour and transparency on your images
by using preset masks. These masks are grayscale images, where white is the transparancy color,
while opacity increases as the shades of gray become darker. Black means complete opacity. PhotoMasque comes with several basic masks to inspire you to create your own masks.



Here are some possible results



The transparent mode, applied to a layer let you get Original Borders because the filter modify the
Alpha channel, not the image layer. The same technique may be used for a picture into RGBA mode.



Icon export




PhotoFiltre Studio allows you to create 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64 icons. All colors format are
available but several modes are not supported by some Windows version.

Add, substract selection




You can add or substract some parts of your selection by using CTRL or ALT keys.
But you work into Bitmap mode (same as the Magic wand), not in Vectorial mode.

Image Explorer




The exploration module provides a toolbar that allows quick access to the predefined folders
(selections, masks, patterns...)
