This is the user's manual for iToolBox 3.11, a free, privacy-respecting application targeted to OS X (MacOS) 10.11 or later and Windows 10.
iToolBox provides tools for creation, alteration, adjustment, and enhancement of image files, can create printed circuit boards, GIF animations and more.
Image types that can be loaded include RAW deep-color files produced by a wide variety of DSLRs as well as standard filetypes like .png and .jpg produced by other image editing software.
Click here for the Windows 10iToolBox (beta) download. The .zip file will extract to a folder with itoolbox.exe in it, and from which itoolbox.exemust be run, as it contains various files (f/n #1) that the application depends upon. If you move itoolbox.exe out of this folder, it will no longer work. You can put the folder anywhere you like, and you can create shortcuts to itoolbox.exe; just don't take itoolbox.exe out of that folder.
Tip: If you have any issues opening iToolBox for the first time, please refer to the In Case of Problems page.

There's no invasion of your privacy. And...
There are no "cloud" dependencies. And...
There is no nagging. And...
Absolutely no copy protection. And...
You'll never be forced to update.
Tip: There is a more extensive feature list on the next page.
3 GHz is suggested; lower speed CPUs will simply produce results more slowly. But... no one likes that.
Monitors
One is okay.
Two is good.
More is great
Mouse
A mouse with two mechanical buttons is highly recommended. Apple's Magic Mouse is not recommended. (f/n #2)
Trackpads, tablets, and trackball are not recommended. At all. Mouse!
Networking
iToolBox attempts to contact fyngyrz.com to obtain a serial number, and to learn if an update is available. If this attempt fails, it in no way cripples the software or inconveniences the user.
The documentation is kept online
(and since iToolBox has context sensitive help, you might like that)
Updates to the software are made available online
(and iToolBox can let you know about available updates in the About dialog)
Other than taking advantage of these things, no, you don't need a LAN or WAN connection.
Footnote 1 - What are all those files???
Those files are Qt frameworks, specifically they contain various components that are used within iToolBox.
Apple's Magic Mouse driver has some serious limitations with its mouse button emulation that can make using iToolBox considerably less convenient. Specifically, the Magic Mouse does not support using both (virtual) left and right mouse buttons simultaneously, which is a technique iToolBox heavily relies upon.
