Photo Tool CM

PhotoToolCM 2.0 Copyright © 2003-2005 Hide Itoh <hide@pixture.com> All rights reserved. PIXTURE STUDIO <http://www.pixture.com> What is PhotoToolCM ? PhotoToolCM is a contextual menu plugin for Mac OS X. It helps you to manage/organize JPEG photo image created by digital cameras. Originally, I was going to add these features and functions to my QuickImageCM. However, I realized that due to some technical reasons, adding these features would increase the object size of QuickImageCM dramatically. So I decided to make it a separate CM plugin. This CM plugin can be a nice companion of the QuickImageCM and it has supplemental features you don't find in my QuickImageCM. So all the features that QuickImageCM has are not added to this CM plugin (e.g. adding/removing thumbnail icons, or batch renaming using numbering mode). The main target of CM plugin is JPEG photo image created by digital cameras which contains special information called Exif, although some features still work with JPEG file that does not have Exif information. I don't explain about Exif and lossless transformation of JPEG files here. Please find such information on the Internet if you are curious to know about it, otherwise, most probably you do not need to use this CM plugin. Again, this CM plugin is for those who already know about Exif and lossless transformation or those who deal with digital camara's photo images frequently. Below is the summary of what this CM plugin can do. All of these features can be used right from the Finder without launching any applications. • Displays Exif information (plus general JPEG file information) of a JPEG file quickly on the contextual menu. • Copy Exif information of selected file(s) to the clipboard so that you can paste to other text documents. • Batch rename selected file(s) using Exif date (the date pictures were taken). • Change file dates (date created and date last modified) of selected file(s) to Exif date (the date pictures were taken). • Transform (rotate/flp images) JPEG image witout decompress and compress the actual image data. (aka. lossless transform) • Edit comment of selected JPEG files interactively, or all at once. • Edit Exif date (date and time of the picture taken) of selected JPEG files using absolute or relative date and time interactively, or all at once. • Clean up not important meta data and resource fork of selected JPEG files to make their file size smaller. • Batch resize selected JPEG files using scale ratio or width or height as a base. • You can easily add frames (with various shape and taste) to selected JPEG files interactively, or all at once.
