A new feature in QuickScale 3.5 will be droplets.

Droplets are very nice tools, you create them once and you can use them forever!

Okay, let’s start at the beginning.
Droplets are mini-applications. The idea of the QuickScale droplet is to scale images very fast with the same configuration (size, scale method, …). When you often scale images to a certain size, you might want to create a droplet with this configuration.

For example, you want to have images with the size 400/300px for your weblog, you just create a droplet with this configuration. Anytime when you drops an image on this droplet, QuickScale will scale the image to the size 400/300px.

The droplet is just a little application but is very powerful and configured just like you want to have it. When you drop images on this droplet, QuickScale will simply scale them without asking about the new sizes, file type or scale method.

If you had chosen for overwrite, QuickScale will simply overwrite the images etc.. QuickScale will use all configurations of the moment you had create the droplet.

When you don’t like to drop images on a droplet, just open the droplet and select the images/folders.

A very cool tip is tso put those Droplets in your dock. You can off course just click with the right mouse on the images and chose ‘open with…’ -> ‘the droplet’.

It is just very cool, fast and use-full, I know that you will like this feature and to be honest, I use droplets already daily.

A new feature in 3.4.2 will be the possibility to choose a scaling method and I wanted to show you what I mean by this.

An example, I have imported one of my favorite images, the image of the lion with a resolution of 1600/1200 px. I have exported this image with every export methode (Normal, Stretch, Box and Crop).
The result of those export methods are visible in the image below.

We already know the normal- and strecht modes modes from the current version.
Box and Crop are 2 new export methods. I think that it is very clear what this methods do exactly.
When 3.4.2 is released, you will be able to find more information there about these methodes in the manual.

Another feature of QuickScale 3.4.2 is the possibility to export only the selected images.

What do you think of this export methods and do you have suggestions? Do you know some cool missing export methods? Please let me know!

QuickScale is on this moment Tiger and Leopard compatile.

When I want to integrate some nice features of Leopard like QuickLook, I have the problem that it wont be Tiger compatible anymore. I can put a Tiger-QuickScale on the website, that is a copy of the current QuickScale, just that the Tiger users will be happy.

The biggest change in QuickScale 3.4 is QuickLook integration, but I will post more information and some screenshots later on this blog.

What do you think? Do I need to keep a Tiger version or do we all use Leopard?

Just like everything has this blog also a start.

In the future, you will be able to discus here about new features, ideas, beta’s, …

I will try to post here regularly posts about the applications like QuickScale but also about other stuff and development coding.

I just say you, be patient and follow this blog.
