Photography tools tend to be large and complicated photo editors. But sometimes you just need a simple single-use tool. Where’s a good place to find such a thing?

Adobe Air is a desktop software platform. Single-use programs run easily on it. I’ve found five photography applications you’ll definitely want to try.

ImageSizer – File sizes for digital photos can be big. That makes them difficult to share using e-mail. You can probably send one or two at a time. ImageSizer resizes and compresses them at the touch of a button. You could e-mail entire folders of photos.

CleVR Stitcher – Panoramic photos can capture stunning scenes. But many digital cameras can’t manage them. With this program, that doesn’t matter. CleVR Stitcher will combine multiple photos into a panoramic image.

TiltShift Generator – The tilt-shift effect is very cool. It simulates a shallow depth of field. This makes photos seem less lifelike. People, vehicles and buildings can look like miniature models. Apply the effect to any photo.
