Apple does bring the best out of lots of things but since I’m a guy who doesn’t want to bore people up with long descriptions etc, I’ll skip that. Bottom line, have gathered a great list of softwares for Mac (design) users, most of these are free, some offer trial periods and vice versa. I hope you’ll enjoy and find something that can be helpful to you in any manners.
1- Just Looking (Photo Viewer) – Free
JustLooking, an image viewing program for Mac OS X. JustLooking is designed to be used instead of the “Preview” application on your computer for browsing most image file formats. In particular, it has the following differences:
It focuses on files and directories instead of lists of files. Thus, once you load a file, you can easily navigate through all other files in the same directory.
It displays images at their native resolution instead of interpreting DPI information stored in the image meta-data. While images are printed at the maximum resolution possible, on screen they are displayed pixel-by-pixel.
Being designed more for viewing of Images, it properly shows animated GIF files.
The entire program can easily be manipulated and powered by simple keystrokes for a quick and pleasant viewing experience.
There is support for printing, image resizing, saving to a few key image formats, and displaying of all image info.
