My sincere thanks to Lyn for sponsoring my writing this week. Lyn is an image browser and viewer for Mac OS X. It supports non-destructive editing, sharing, and even works with your Aperture, Lightroom and iPhoto libraries.
Lyn is a lightweight and fast media browser and viewer, designed for Photographers, Graphic Artists and Web Designers.
Featuring an extremely versatile and aesthetically pleasing interface, Lyn delivers easy to use geotagging, image editing and a complete solution for sharing your photographs.
Lyn natively supports all popular image formats like JPEG, TIFF, JPEG 2000, PNG, TGA, RAW, HDR, OpenEXR, PPM, animated GIF and any other image format supported by Mac OS X. With its combined cache, swap, tiling, and on-the-fly scaling technology, it can load and display truly high-resolution progressive images. It also integrates a movie player to watch camera recordings.
As an image viewer and browser, Lyn includes a host of useful features. With its multi-threading operations, it uses all the power of the host CPU, speeding through batch conversions and other processor-intensive tasks. It supports High Dynamic-Range images, including RGBA float and RGBA double, as well as radiance, PFM, and OpenEXR images.
The app’s color profile management capabilities detect and apply embedded profiles or color profiles specified in the Exif or Makernote section. Users can easily view common metadata attached to their images: Comments, Exif, Cameras’ makernote, GPS, GeoTIFF, and IPTC.
Lyn allows non-destructive image editing such as transformations, cropping, flipping, rotations, and IPTC editing as special file attributes. Lyn is able to browse photo libraries created with iPhoto, Aperture, and Lightroom.
The editing inspector gives you everything to turn your shots into great photos. Adjust exposure, color temperature, brightness, contrast or reveal image details with highlight and shadow. You can experiment and convert your color photos to black and white, try a classic sepia tone or add a vignette border.
Designers can browse images fullscreen, or as a slideshow on a single or multiple monitor system. Navigating through images is simplified with Apple Remote Control and Magic Trackpad support. Lyn also has built-in connectivity to allow publishing to Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox, SmugMug, 500px and Picasa; and you can email photos using Mail.app, Mailplane, Postbox or Airmail.
Photographers can easily mark photos with flags, rate photos for sorting (1 to 5 stars), assign keywords, add color labels or assign locations. Photos can be filtered and sorted with the Search toolbar field or displayed chronologically from oldest to newest or vice versa.
You can download Lyn from its own website.
