For some annoying reason RIM has yet to bake in image editing features into the BlackBerry OS. Don’t get me wrong when you send a picture it does offer you a few options to resize it and you could technically take a screenshot of a picture to crop it but these are hacks that are not truly fleshed out.
ToySoft decided to fill this gap with their affordable $1.99 imgLite app which is intended for easily rotating, resizing, and cropping pictures before sending them out. You can also reduce the file size by controlling the JPG compression along with adding a border to pictures. The app integrates into the media, files, and camera applications letting you select the picture and then use the new menu option “Open with imgLite.”
Features include:
- Works with BlackBerry OS5 and OS6
- Very small footprint
- Integrates with the System Media, Files and Camera applications
- Resize and Crop pictures in jpg, bmp, gif and png formats
- Rotate image
- Saves in JPG format with quality control
- Allow you save to different folder
- Crop the current screen. Perfect when you zoom in on a picture in the Media app
- Add border to the resized and cropped picture
- Simple and easy to use
