Announcing the release of JPEGView 3.3 Ñ May, 1994
|
|
|
|
Enclosed is version 3.3 of my postcardware application JPEGView, a fast, powerful image viewer for both 680x0 and PowerPC Macintoshes. JPEGView can open and display images in JPEG, PICT, GIF, TIFF, BMP, MacPaint, or Startup Screen formats.
|
|
|
|
This latest release of JPEGView adds some new functionality and fixes a few bugs that were in the previous (3.2.1) release; users of previous versions are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this latest version.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: JPEGView *requires* System 7.0 or later to run.
|
|
|
|
Any user of JPEGView 3.0 or later also has the option of becoming a fully registered user. Registered users who send in a one-time registration fee of US$20 (add US$3 if you are overseas) receive a printed, bound copy of the full JPEGView documentation, along with an official JPEGView 3.3 release disk, containing the complete JPEGView 3.3 release plus a few of my favorite JPEG images. Full details are given in the on-line help (available from the help (a.k.a. ÒballoonÓ) menu).
|
|
|
|
Please note that registration is optional; individual use of JPEGView obligates you only to send me a postcard.
|
|
|
|
Briefly, here are the important new features in version 3.3:
|
|
¥ much more stable memory management with QuickTime and virtual memory
|
|
¥ JPEG decompression now available even when QuickTime is not installed
|
|
¥ full drag-and-drop support, for ÒDrag-awareÓ systems
|
|
¥ rewrote high quality drawing for a significant speedup
|
|
¥ added the ability to remember cropping on images
|
|
¥ added new icon styles, plus ability to specify icon area
|
|
¥ improved operation of the JPEGView JFIF Preview QuickTime extension
|
|
¥ numerous bug fixes
|
|
|
|
And a general JPEGView overview:
|
|
¥ itÕs essentially free (postcardware), simple, and easy to use
|
|
¥ requires only 800k, but will effectively use more memory to run faster
|
|
¥ produces some of the highest-quality images available on the Macintosh
|
|
¥ decompresses images faster than almost any other Macintosh image software
|
|
¥ provides an excellent user-configurable slide show
|
|
¥ automatically scales images to fit on your monitor
|
|
¥ has handy full screen windows (without the menubar) for large images
|
|
¥ supports multiple-monitor systems extremely well
|
|
¥ includes exhaustive on-line documentation and balloon help
|
|
¥ is System 7-studly, featuring full AppleScript support and 32-bit cleanliness
|
|
¥ native code takes full advantage of PowerMacintosh systems
|
|
¥ comes with a cool colorful JPEG test image :-)
|
|
|
|
Once again:
|
|
JPEGView is postcardware. The concept is simple:
|
|
If you like it, you are obligated to send me a postcard of some sort.
|
|
If you want a printed, bound manual and official release disk, register by sending in
|
|
US$20.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
