PhotoToolCM is a contextual menu plugin for Mac OS X. It helps you to manage/organize JPEG photo image created by digital cameras. Originally, I was going to add these features and functions to my QuickImageCM. However, I realized that due to some technical reasons, adding these features would increase the object size of QuickImageCM dramatically.
PhotoToolCM ca handle exif info, batch rename photos, batch resize, add borders and much more.
So I decided to make it a separate CM plugin. This CM plugin can be a nice companion of the QuickImageCM and it has supplemental features you don't find in my QuickImage CM Below is the summary of what this CM plugin can do.
All of these features can be used right from the Finder without launching any applications.Displays Exif information (plus general JPEG file information) of a JPEG file quickly on the contextual menu.
Copy Exif information of selected file(s) to the clipboard so that you can paste to other text documents.Batch rename selected file(s) using Exif date (the date pictures were taken).Change file dates (date created and date last modified) of selected file(s) to Exif date (the date pictures were taken).
Transform (rotate/flp images) JPEG image witout decompress and compress the actual image data. (aka.lossless transform)Edit comment of selected JPEG files interactively, or all at once.Edit Exif date (date and time of the picture taken) of selected JPEG files using absolute or relative date and time interactively, or all at once.
Clean up not important meta data and resource fork of selected JPEG files to make their file size smaller.Batch resize selected JPEG files using scale ratio or width or height as a base.
Here are some key features of "PhotoToolCM":
Display Exif information directly on contextual menu for quick viewing.
Copy Exif information of multiple JPEG photo image files to the clipboard as text
Support for lossless transform (rotate/flip) on selected multiple JPEG photo image files
Batch rename multiple JPEG photo image files using their Exif date
Change file date (created/modifed date) of multiple JPEG photo image files to their Exif date.
Batch resize multiple JPEG photo image
Can add photo frame (border) to multiple files interactively
Support lossless cleaning to make JPEG file size smaller
Can edit JPEG comment on multiple files interactively
Can edit Exif date/time on multiple files interactively
What's New:
Added 'Add Frame...' funtion!! (see screenshot-4)
Fixed a major bug that may cause Finder crash when lossless transform is executed.
Added 'Long Edge' mode as a resizing base of the batch resize function.
Now it remember the last settings used for batch resize and use them for the next time.
Added 'Add Prefix' mode for output file name option. (for Lossless Transform, Batch Resize and Add Frame)
Added output file location option (for Lossless Transform, Batch Resize and Add Frame)
(If you execute thesee function while shift-key is pressed, it temporary goes to the 'Choose on the fly' mode)
Now it displays a warning dialog when the operation overwrite the original file. This warning dialog can be suppressed at the Preference dialog.
Increased the speed of adding thumbnail icon by attaching 128x128 icon only.
Now you can choose whether the thumbnail icon has border frame or not.
Removed a debug routine which has been left over (which display 'Not JPEG (file name) to the console)
Changed the order and layout of contextual menu display slightly for easier operation.
Added a routine to bring the Finder to front so that the dialog that PhotoToolCM opens will be displayed on top of the current application's windows when Finder is not the frontmost process.
