CM TIFF Viewer Launched on the Mac App Store

We are pleased to announce the release of CM TIFF Viewer on the Mac App Store.

CM TIFF Viewer is a TIFF File Graphical Viewer. It employs the same TIFF rendering engine as our ComboTIFF, CM TIFF 2 PDF, Batch TIFF & PDF Converter and CM PDF & TIFF Page Extractor applications.

TIFF Documents are container files which can supported a wide variety of compression algorithms and some are widely used while others may be a little more obscure.

Over time, we had request to test of the TIFF documents which our users have are compatible with our tools and as such CM TIFF Viewer is born.

This FREE application can be used to evaluate the TIFF viewing and rendering features of our other tools or can be used as a quick way to view a TIFF document file which you may have around. As the Mac App Store does not allow you to try the application before buying, we thought it would be apt to provide you a way to test the TIFF engine to see if they work with your files.

It supports both Single Page and Multipage TIFF documents which you can navigate through the pages. There is a Zoom slider which you can use to enlarge or reduce the dimensions of your TIFF file.

CM TIFF Viewer is a standalone application which is simple to use.

You can find CM TIFF Viewer at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cm-tiff-viewer/id1083844538?ls=1&mt=12

 

 

Batch It Ultra v5.27 Released

We are pleased to announce the immediate release of Batch It Ultra v5.27. This comes with two enhancement.

Firstly, we have added a new Resizing Method – Resizing By Pixels. This effectively merges both the Downsizing By Pixels and Upsizing By Pixels methods together. When Batch It Ultra encounters an image which have both the Width and Height larger than the Width and Height settings, that image will be downsize and if they are smaller then the image will be upsize.

Together with that method, we added a Resizing Preference option which lets you pick whether to Downsize or Upsize when one of the dimension is larger and the other is smaller than what is set.

Secondly, we added a pop up when you use the Load Folder option. This pop up will let you pick the file format that you want to search for. Previously all the supported image formats are included in the search.

iRedSoft Image Resizer v5.19 Released

We are pleased to announce the immediate resize of iRedSoft Image Resizer v5.19. This update contains a new option for the Resizing Method which is Resize by Pixels.

What Resize by Pixels does is that if both the Width and Height of the photo is larger than the Width and Height settings, the downsizing method will be applied but if they are smaller than the Width and Height settings then the upsizing method will be applied.

Together with this is the Resizing Preference settings which allows you to determine what course of action to take if one dimension is larger and the other is smaller.

Road Map for 2016

We trust that you have a productive 2015 with our applications.

In 2015, we spend the bulk of the year tweaking our Windows based applications internally to ensure that they work flawlessly with Windows 10 and worked on other reported bugs. With the official arrival of Windows 10, we have not encountered any issues with the latest versions of our applications.

In ensuring that there is a smooth transition from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, we made the decision to discontinue hosting legacy versions of our applications as many did not work optimally or in some circumstances would fail to operate as prescribed. We launched the initiative to get everyone up to speed by offering all our existing valued customers the opportunity to upgrade to the latest versions at a heavily discounted pricing. The projective was to ensure a pleasant experience with our applications and to uphold our objectives to build applications to simplifying your work. Money was not the main projective but providing the applications for free was not possible as we are a small set up and it is costly on our part to upkeep and redeveloped the applications and that on top of the cost of licenses. Of course during that time, we emailed all of you as we are not accustomed to do so and that upset some of our customers and for that, we apologize. As promised, we have removed the entire mailing list of our customers and started a new opt-in list.

The process of supporting Windows 10 started back in 2013 and took close to two years redeveloping all our applications to ensure they supported 64 Bit compilations. Now all our Windows based application have both 32 Bit and 64 Bit native support.

During 2015, we spend the time to redevelop our iOS applications in Swift and also to support 64 bits.

In 2016, we will be doing the same thing for our Mac applications. The first phase of the upgrades have began by ensuring that all our imaging engine are up-to-date. Between now and the second quarter of 2016, we will spend the better part of the time to bringing all our existing Mac OS X applications in the 64 Bit framework.

Of course, we will not abandon our Windows based customers, if you do find any bugs or have any suggestions to improving the applications, feel free to contact us via email.
