Thanks for your sharing.
But a friend told me that free online tools do not have so many professional functions.
He asked me to try some free trials of the professional developers of the related SDKs.
But your sharing reminded me of this.
I will try them later.
Thanks again.

The same used to be said about email accounts. Now nobody sees the need to really go with a paid address. Even official companies are going with last.firstname.company@yahoo.com. I see it with real estate agents, newspaper reporters, small companies, big companies. I have a "business email" address that I pay for. I can't access it from my smart phone, from my wife's ipad, usually when I need to access it the most. But my free yahoo email address works just fine across all platforms.

My point is, just because something is professional, doesn't mean it's better, and even if it is it doesn't mean that you NEED those better things.

Thank you for your sharing of image editing tools. I have ever used an image generator for Microsoft system. I appreciate it for its detailed tutorial for I was a beginner at that time. With this tutorial, I finished my image generation easily and quickly.
