Mac OS X âLeopard is powerful, polished and carefully conceived. Happy surprises, and very few disappointments, lie around every corner. This Leopard has more than 300 new spots â and most of them are bright ones,â declares David Pogue (New York Times). He points, for example, to two âroutine-changingâ features. Time Machine, which offers âthe shortest setup of any backup system in history.â And Quick Look, which lets you âview the contents of a documentâs icon at full size, right at the desktop, without having to open the program that created it.â Pogue says âitâs fantastic.â

Since Alexa stopped offering their free thumbnail service last year a lot of thumbnail services are available now. Some of them offering limited free services and others only a paid premium version. On of the bigger and better services is Girafa, a thumbnail service with a free service and also premium services for users with more then 2000 image requests a month.   He includes the simple code needed to make the request (inside of a thumbnail() function) and shows an example of how to fetch and store the resulting image.

âIf youâre drowning in digital pictures,â gulps Andrew D. Smith (Dallas Morning News), âiPhoto will save you.â  He considers iPhoto â08 âthe best basic photo programâ and loves how it âautomatically groups photos that were shot on the same dayâ into Events. âAssembling photos from a seven-day vacation once required you to drag dozens of photos into a file. Now it only forces you to spend 30 seconds dragging the weeklong sessions together.â Using iPhoto â08, Smith says, he was able to transform âmy library from a Superfund site to a clean room in just a few minutes.â

&#147;I just received my sixth, an iPod photo, and if I loved my iPod before, I really love it now,&#148; writes Bob LeVitus for the Houston Chronicle. &#147;The new iPod photo stores not only your songs, but also your digital pictures. The 2-inch color display is the best little color display I&#146;ve seen, and I&#146;ve heard many remarks about its clarity and rich, saturated images. Photos look amazing, and iPod photo stores and displays album art for songs which have cover art available.&#148; [Nov 23]

Gallery v1.4.4-pl1 is an update to Gallery 1.4.4 to resolve several issues found after the release. Most of these issues are fairly minor, and the one security issue fixed in this release requires a fairly unusual Gallery configuration and a bit of effort to exploit.  This is still a recommended upgrade due to the bug fixes, but if you want to keep your Gallery secure without a full upgrade, a small patch to fix that issue is available separately. Gallery is a slick, intuitive web based photo gallery with authenticated users and privileged albums. Easy to install, configure and use. Photo management includes automatic thumbnails, resizing, rotation, etc. User privileges make this great for communities.   Download 1.4.4-pl1 from http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7130  Visit http://gallery.sourceforge.net/article.php?sid=134 for more details.

Mikko Koppanen has posted another quick hit ImageMagick hint to his blog - this time it deal with "seam carving", a process for cropping and resampling of an image to make a different composite picture.   Today I was reading trough the ImageMagick ChangeLog and noticed an interesting entry. "Add support for liquid rescaling". I rushed to check the MagickWand API docs and there it was: MagickLiquidRescaleImage! After about ten minutes of hacking the Imagick support was done. Needless to say; I was excited   You'll need to have the libqr library compiled into the ImageMagick installation, but the actual use of the functionality is simple - about three or four lines do the work for you. He includes the original image and the result from his test (as well as another example of the same result image scaled down automatically.
