JetPhoto Studio v4.7.2 update

Filed under: new feature — admin @ 12:58 am

Two convenient tools are added in version 4.7.2:

1) Copy filenames to the photo notes
Without JetPhoto Studio, the photo files are usually named as the photo titles. If you imported your titled files into  JetPhoto albums,  you may need a convenient way to transfer the photo titles from the file names to the photo notes shortly. Now you can just do that with an easy click, please choose menu item “Edit”->”Copy Filenames to Photo Notes…”

copy_filename.jpg  The file name is ‘Birthday Cake.JPG’.

to_note.jpg  After copying, now the photo note become ‘Birthday Cake’.

2) Rename files in batches with multiple modes
Choose menu item “Edit”->”Batch Rename Files…”, you can use the tool to change filenames in batches for the selected photos. The tool enables flexible renaming photo files as a series of uniform names with a same prefix (or/and a same suffix), and add an index number or a time string into each filename automatically.  The program can also read the EXIF photo capture time tags and write them into the filenames. In this way, you can always easily sort your photo files  by events or categories in any environment even without JetPhoto Studio.

JetPhoto Studio 4.7

Filed under: new feature — admin @ 5:56 pm

What’s new in version 4.7?

Camera RAW files storage

The JetPhoto Studio v4.7 allows store camera raw files in album packages. The raw files can be Nikon NEF, Canon CR2 and more others. Users can select to copy or move external raw files into JetPhoto albums, and JetPhoto will always automatically create a JPEG copy for each imported raw file.

When browsing photos in JetPhoto albums, right-click (or control-click) a thumbnail,  you can find two items in the context menu to reveal either the JPEG file or the RAW file for each photo.

Now, it’s possible to geotag raw files in JetPhoto Studio v4.7. After locating photos with GPS, you can continue to use EXIF Tools to write the GPS metadata (latitude, longitude, altertude) into either the photo RAW file or the JPEG copy.

Also important, a memory leak bug was fixed in this version. This bug caused failed importing raw files in batches.

.

 Google Map Gallery - Select photos in a list

JetPhoto Studio v4.7 added a new optional feature in the Google Map gallery.   A dropdown list can be shown in the map, and users can select items on the list to switch photos fast. Now there are three ways to navigate photos within Google Map gallery: clicking hot spots in the map, clicking thumbnails in the bottom bar and clicking a menu item in the list.

To edit list items is very easy, you can type them  in photo notes directly. Normally, the list item only include two or three words, but sometimes the photo description is too long to show completely in the list. Therefore, the Google Map gallery will find the first line break in the photo description and only show the first line of the photo note as a list item (both a “return” and a <br> html tag can be accepted as a line break).

Enhanced Address Lookup (Reverse Geocoding)

The reverse geocoding is not only a “concept proof” in JetPhoto Studio v4.7. Address Lookup program is enhanced in this version. It became an easy-to-use feature to create photo descriptions and keywords automatically according to the locations where photos were taken.

You can show your photos in maps after locating them. However there is one more fun, use Address Lookup program that will connect Google Maps server and invoke the reverse geocoding services to convert the latitude/longitude data to a human-readable address. In a magic way, JetPhoto Studio will add photo notes and keywords automatically for your photos.

For example, I took a photo in Stanford University campus. The photo has been located at latitude N37.42718º and longitude W122.17033º in JetPhoto Studio.  Then, Address Lookup program will work to add a photo note and three keywords for the photo automatically:

- Photo Note: Stanford Memorial Church, Stanford
- Keywords: Stanford, CA94305, USA

The new Address Lookup feature are available in both Windows version and Mac version of JetPhoto Studio v4.7 .

.

Export / Import Keywords

In JetPhoto Studio v4.7 for Mac, users can export keywords list to a text file, or restore the keywords list with importing a text file. The functionality brings an easy way to manage keywords presets. Now you can first prepare your favorite keywords presets in any text editor, and import them into your album anytime later.

.

Geotagging Assistant

We developed a Geotagging Assistant program and added it as a new feature in JetPhoto Studio v4.7 for Mac. Now users can geotag their photos step by step.The program will guide users to finish all steps with ease.

Filed under: new feature — admin @ 7:46 am

A new version Google Map Gallery will be involved into both JetPhoto Studio and JetPhoto Server Pro. The new  program will speed up the page loading. And the most important update is that  the new Google Map Gallery layout is auto resizable to fit the container web browser window.  But the old version Google Map Gallery can be shown in a fixed rectangle frame only, the size is always 950 x 620 pixels. See a demo with a sizable window .

In the JetPhoto Studio v4.6, a couple of additional options are added to customize your Google Map Gallery, example: hide Info tab in photo balloon or show an overview map at bottom-right corner.

The new Google Map Gallery have been tested for the compatibility with Safari v3/v4, Firefox v3 Mac/Windows, IE v6/v7/v8 and and Google Chrome.

The Latest Update (September 20, 2009)

Since introduced the new Google Map gallery, we still continue the development.  Solved some compatibility issues and improved the performance  in the latest update that has been released as a part of new JetPhoto Studio and JetPhoto Server versions:
