Viewfinder Pro

What’s new

Album and View Packages:

You no longer have to switch back and forth between Viewfinder and the Camera Roll! Starting this release View Packages and a built-in Album replace the images saved to the Camera Roll.

With the Album you can:
★ Browse just the Views you created with Viewfinder – won’t have to flip over family pics any more!
★ Send any View Package (up to 5 at the same time) via email. The mail contains information about the simulated equipment and a clickable map link in addition to the image.
★ Show the View’s location on a map – with your location so that you can easily navigate back to where the View was captured.
★ Import images saved to the Camera Roll with previous versions to keep all the work you did earlier.
★ Export Views to the Camera Roll.

You’ll be able to access the saved View Packages via iTunes file sharing – similar to accessing GPX track logs in the current version. Downloading such a package will create a folder on your computer with a .jpg and a .vimx metadata file in it.

The Album can be accessed via the Extras panel, and via a new function that you can assign to any Function Button.

Additional new features:
★ Viewfinder Handbook Extra: this on-line manual is also available at http://www.direstudio.com/viewfinder/handbook
★ Experimental iPad 2 support.
★ Simplified Chinese language.
★ Added Nikon D5100, Panasonic G3 and oversized sensor modes of Panasonic GH2.

Fixes:
★ Duplicated Sigma SD15 camera removed.
★ Minor stability and performance improvements.

The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art. Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine.
