ZeboPhoto X is a digital photo viewer featuring various image editing effects and unique multiple image slide shows.
This affordable image viewer provides quick easy access to photos with its browser. Users keep image files organized in the manner that best suits them, no additional setup is necessary!
Also included is a print layout window which allows you to maximize paper usage and a basic word processor.
Here are some key features of "ZeboPhoto X":
Useful, easy-to-use File Browser
ZeboPhoto's File Browser gives you easy access to all the image and text data you have on your computer. The browser navigates the disks on your computer using a column browser similar to that in the OS X Finder. Useful information pertaining to each file appears in the browser when you select it. You can also delete a selected file or move it to the trash.
Image files display a preview picture in the resizable browser window. A single click on this preview opens the image in its own window allowing you apply a variety of effects to your picture. Images, documents and movie files can also of course be opened directly from the File menu.
On the bottom left of the browser you'll find the File Visibility button. Press this button to open access visibility controls allowing you to view hidden files on your computer in the file browser. You can also make your own files invisible/visible here for privacy.
Powerful Slide Show capabilities
Slide shows can be accessed directly from the browser by double clicking on a folder or image while the slide show checkbox is selected. Multiple image slide shows are available with options to view two, four or six images at a time as well as Full Screen, Actual Size and Size To Fit shows.
Full Screen, Actual Size and Size To Fit slide shows have a contextual menu accessible by Control clicking on the current slide which gives you access to a variety of commands allowing you to rotate and flip images during the show as well as the ability to navigate quickly through a large file or switch to a different type of show.
While using the Full Screen, Actual Size and Size To Fit slide shows many functions are available during the show such as zooming in or out on an image, rotation, mirroring, file deletion and quickly navigating through large directories. These commands are all accessible by using hot keys. Click on the following link for a printable list of Keyboard Shortcuts.
Catalog View Window
Also accessible from the file browser are resizable Catalog View windows, a feature designed to allow you to quickly preview large folders of photos, and then enter a slide show with a single click on the image where you want to start the show. Catalog View window features settings to view 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 20 images at a time.
Screen Capture
Screen Captures to TIFF, JPEG, and PDF, format as well as to the Clipboard are also available and accessible from the Edit menu.
Print Layouts
Another popular feature is Print Layout window, which sports 27 different layouts in which to print your images. These different settings range from 1 to 20 images per page and include oval, rectangular, and rounded rectangular shapes available with or without a vignette effect.
Movie Player/Maker
A movie player that toggles in and out of full screen mode by pressing the Space bar and a movie maker, which creates movies from you images, are also included in ZeboPhoto.
Word Processor
A basic word processor included with ZeboPhoto. This can be incredibly useful for saving text clippings quickly in a styled text format. Just drag any TEXT clipping onto the ZeboPhoto icon or into a Words or Image window and it will open in a Words window where you can then easily save it in text format.
Drag and Drop ease
All image windows have drag and drop capabilities. Drag any TEXT clipping onto the ZeboPhoto icon or into a Words or Image window and it will open in a Words window where you can then easily save it in text format. Similarly PICT Clippings can be dragged onto the ZeboPhoto icon or onto any image window and will be opened in their own image window, ready to be converted into your favorite format.
Graphic Effects
Zebophoto includes various effects such as posterizing, lightening/darkening, blurring, sharpening, rotation, tinting, inversion, and color adjustment. Also included are tools for image sizing, conversion, framing, and cropping.
