More iOS photo-collection apps available on MacOS

I now have MacOS versions of these iOS apps: Classic Cameras, Photochrom Ultimate, Space Flight Photos, Aeronautics Photos, Manzanar, and FSA-OSI: Dorothea Lange. Same price on both stores. They run on MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) only.

Details and links to both App Stores at basepath.com.

FSA-OWI: Arthur Rothstein for MacOS

My iOS app, FSA-OWI: Arthur Rothstein, is now available for MacOS (10.6 Snow Leopard only). Details at basepath.com. It has the same content as the iOS app.

Proof Sheet Version 1.1. Beta 4

Beta 4 of Version 1.1 is now available. Changes for Version 1.1:

  1. Improved main-window layout.
  2. More complete list of EXIF variables.
  3. New “Export JPEGs” command on File menu exports the Proof Sheet as a folder of JPEGs.
  4. Facing Pages: Different margins for even/odd pages.
  5. Page Setup saved in presets.
  6. A few minor bug fixes.

You can download and use this beta for free, but it expires on 30-May-2011.

I expect Version 1.0 will be in the Mac App Store in a day or two, and then I’ll post the demo, which is actually a demo of Version 1.1.

New MacOS App: Proof Sheet

I’ve developed a new app called Proof Sheet that makes it very easy to print proof (or contact) sheets. Unlike most such apps, you can place IPTC and EXIF metadata next to photos. Margins, grid layout, headers, footers, fonts, and much more are easily configured, and you can save presets. It goes way beyond what Lightroom and Photo Mechanic have. You can download a full-featured beta for free (expires on May 30); it should be in the Mac App Store in a week or two at an introductory price of $5. (MacOS 10.6 only. I’m not planning to do a Windows version.)

There’s a download link at basepath.com.

New iOS app: Space Flight Photos

Space Flight Photos       App_Store_small_badge

Shuttles are soon to be only museum pieces, but you can still relive the thrill of space flight!

This app shows about 900 unique images of American space flight from the NASA archives, divided into 10 groups covering the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Shuttle, and Space Station programs.

Captions, all from NASA, are extensive: almost 100,000 words in all.

New iOS apps: Cityscape Panoramas, Dorothea Lange, and Arthur Rothstein

Cityscape Panoramas       App_Store_small_badge

Over 900 historic panoramic photographs of US and foreign cities. There are 10 chronological groups, and four city-groups: Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.

The widest panorama is over 10,000 pixels, which is 10 iPad screens of panning!

Drag your finger to pan, as though you were looking at the scene live and swiveling your neck. It’s a fun, unique way to view panoramas.

FSA-OWI: Dorothea Lange       App_Store_small_badge

Dorothea Lange was perhaps the best-known photographer working for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) from about 1933 to 1939, mostly because of her iconic photograph Migrant Mother. MigrantMother-1998021539

This app show essentially all of the digitized Dorothea Lange photographs in the Library of Congress archive, over 3,800 photographs in all.

FSA-OWI: Arthur Rothstein       App_Store_small_badge

This app shows about 9,000 photographs by Arthur Rothstein, one of the most prolific photographers working for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI) from about 1934 to 1942.

Arthur Rothstein wrote an article for the Sept. 1961 issue of Popular Photography called “The Picture that Became a Campaign Issue: The Assignment I’ll Never Forget,” which you can read here.
