Quite handy indeed.
I think its because people think its only for converting graphic formats? It is a fantastic product. I can't remember exactly, but don't Apple bundle it with new Macs now? They certainly endorse and appreciate it. But hey, what do I know. > And BTW, the Color Sycn awareness of the app, combined with it's own > features, make it by far the best option to print what I consider the best > Contact Sheets I have ever made,and beleiveme when I say I have tested a > good number of apps for this,including Fotostation,iView, PS, Extensis > Portfolio, ACDsee,Photomechanic, etc. Have you ever tried ImageBuddy? I use that for contacts. I must admit, last time I tried GC for contacts, it didn't do them (that was some time ago). I haven't tried it for ages using GC, is this a new function? Anyway, I'll give it a go. > The only drawback I have found with the Contact Sheet feature is that GC > does not let you save the pages.

ImageBuddy doesn't save them either :-( You could try printing them to a PDF file (if you're using OSX) I do this with a lot of things (not images) However I'm not sure how that will affect colour management etc. I seem to remember having problems with ImageBuddy, when I went down that route. Worth a try though. > I have not explored the latest update version yet( it appeared a few days > ago) but understand from the readme file that it can process RAW files > straight from camera.

Check out PhotoGridX as well. Its got a fantastic sorting method, the best on any Mac program I've seen. Don't use it for anything else. Its not obvious how this works at first. Download it, then mail me (if you're interested), I'll try and explain it, its not hard, just not obvious and difficult to explain without seeing the app. http://www.nattaworks.com/english.html Regards Paul -- Paul Tansley Fashion & Beauty Photography London +44 (0) 7973 669584 http://www.paultansley.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
