PhotoReviewer is Blazingly fast photo viewing, organizing app adds support for raw images from any source including digital cameras
Stick Software has updated their popular PhotoReviewer digital photo management tool to version 1.2 for Mac OS X. PhotoReviewer helps you quickly (very quickly!) flip though photos that you've imported to your machine, choosing which ones are "keepers" and which ones aren't. You can sort your images into different folders, find and delete duplicates, and rename your images to fit the category they are placed in.
PhotoReviewer doesn't compete with iPhoto; rather, it goes between your digital camera and iPhoto, or between your internet connection and iPhoto. It's the quickest, easiest way to sort and weed your photos; if you've tried doing that in iPhoto, you know how slow it is. Once you've used PhotoReviewer, you'll never look back.
PhotoReviewer is designed for people who juggle a lot of photos. If you have a digital camera, or download a lot of images off the internet, it's not uncommon to have hundreds or even thousands of images coming into your "inbox". There is no tool really well-suited to taking a large collection of images, reviewing them, and culling the bad ones and keeping the good ones. The photo review and processing apps supplied by Apple, such as iPhoto and Preview, are too slow and hog too much memory. Other apps tend to be overpriced, poorly designed, or cluttered.
PhotoReviewer is essentially a slideshow application, but with a twist. You point it at a folder. It will show you images from that folder, one at a time, at a nice big size without cluttered UI elements in the way. And for each photo, you vote. Approved or vetoed. PhotoReviewer will move the image to a new folder based upon your vote (or, if you like, will simply delete vetoed images). Simple as that. But try doing it in any other application half as easily or half as quickly.
PhotoReviewer's number 1 feature: speed. Blazing, blinding speed. PhotoReviewer will preload images that you haven't even looked at yet, so when you get to them in your review, they display instantly. Even reviews of raw images from digital cameras, which often take as long as a minute to load in other photo apps (if they are supported at all!), are lightning-fast in PhotoReviewer. No more spending half your day looking through your images!
PhotoReviewer is shareware, with a price of only $10, and it's free to try.
