    Download this: https://www.irfanview.com/ An image editor that's free for private use.

    Lets you resize, crop, and annotate photos in a wide variety of file formats. Also translate from one format to another.

    Those are the only four features that I use regularly. There's a whole lot more.

    Rust bluing is the same process as browning, except rust bluing is boiled and carded once color is achieved.
    Correct .
