New Macography App – FirstPass

2011-05-26 / Comments Off

On a good day’s shoot it is not uncommon to shoot thousands of frames spanning multiple memory cards. Downloading these cards normally is very cumbersome as each card has to be downloaded one at a time, even if you have multiple card readers. Moreover, it takes considerable time to go through all these images and do a “first pass” edit (rate, delete, view at 100%, etc.). The objective of FirstPass is to speed up these two tasks considerably, and to perform them within the same application. FirstPass achieves this by allowing downloads from multiple sources to multiple destinations, all using a responsive, clean and intuitive interface.

Unique features of FirstPass

. 1.The first application on Mac to enable image download from multiple sources to multiple destinations.

. 2.Works with shared devices to enable download over a network.

. 3.Provides a fast and clean interface to do a “first pass” editing of images.

. 4.Frees up the user’s time by handling multiple downloads at the same time without requiring the user to swap the cards in and out of a card reader or starting the download manually for each card.

. 5.Can be configured to automatically start downloading when a device (or multiple devices) are plugged in.

This app is available for $9.99 and you can download it here
