Photo Drop: A Unique Way to Modify Images
There are countless photo modification apps out there, from resizing to flipping images. But what makes Photo Drop truly unique is the ability for you to make the tiresome tasks of modifying multiple images or folders of images into a simple drag-and-drop operation via droplets.
A Droplet in essence, is a small application (weighing in at less than 150 KB) that delivers the usual image functions, like resizing images to new dimensions, rotating photos, adjusting compressions, format conversions, and more. Best of all it does this when files or folders are dropped on it. In other words, Photo Drop itself does not work as a regular application where you can directly edit your images.
You can save as many customized droplets as you want to meet your modification criteria. For example, you may have a droplet that resizes images to 640 by 480 and convert them to png image format or another droplet that rotates an image by 270* and adds a watermark. Of course, you can save and place these droplets anywhere you like and use them as many times as your needs desire.
Although Photo Drop is still currently a PPC application, I have no sluggishness issues at all processing tens of photos at a time on my Intel-based Mac. Let’s hope that the developer will release a universal binary version soon, negating the need for Rosetta. Rosetta is the dynamic translator software integrated into OSX to convert PPC apps to Intel format or vice versa on the fly.
Photo Drop may be a free application, but consider donating to the developer if you find it to be an indispensable image utility. You can download Photo Drop right here.
Cool app! Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there’s a way to specify what part of the image you want cropped. Also, just to clarify for any other readers: the application looks wierd because the post author is using a ShapeShifter system theme.
Yes, I should have disabled the shapeshifter theme prior to taking the snapshot of Photo Drop to alleviate confusion. Thanks Daniel for bringing up this issue to my attention.
