Q-Technologies releases PictureScaler 1.6 for Windows and Macintosh.

Resize digital photos the way you want them.  Resize them quickly in a batch.

Melbourne, Australia (March 17, 2006) – Q-Technologies announced today the release of PictureScaler 1.6, a feature release.  PictureScaler is an easy to use utility that enables users to simultaneously resize and rotate one or more of their digital photos in an easy, reproducible manner.

PictureScaler 1.6 will ensure the image resolution of the photos being processed is maintained, will now rotate an EXIF thumbnail in lossless mode and create an EXIF thumbnail if one did not exist previously in lossless mode.  This release contains a complete rewrite of the EXIF handling capablities to allow more flexibility and accuracy.

PictureScaler is a batch processing tool for photos and other images.  The user simply drags the photo(s) from Windows Explorer or the Macintosh Finder and drops them onto the drop window or the application icon.  A configuration screen then presents itself so the user can choose how they want the photo(s) resized.  The user can choose whether the photo(s) should be saved into a different image format, rotated, the file modifcation date modified, previews added or EXIF data retained.  Presets can be configured to enable rapid consistant repetition of the photo processing.

PictureScaler 1.6 is a free upgrade to all current licensed users.  PictureScaler 1.6 can be downloaded from the Q-Technologies website at http://www.Q-Technologies.com.au/PictureScaler.  Licences are available from US$12.95, €10,50 or £7.50.  A demonstration version can be downloaded from the website.  This is fully functional, though it prints a promotional watermark on any images processed.
