They've also got a desktop version.

This might be *very* interesting if it supported a broader array of graphic formats.....e.g., bmp, psd, tiff, & RAW.

I agree that support for other file formats would improve PhotoMesa, but as it stands it is already a great product. One of the few I've seen that works well and effectively takes advantage of my 3.5 iPaq screen and my 19 inch desktop screen while maintaining the interface - DateLens being one of the others. I've tested it with ~5000 photos (on the desktop!) and it scales well. :way to go:

Thanks for your comments - we will be supporting more file formats in the next release. (And yes, our upgrades are always free).

I think this is one of the best photo viewers I have ever used. I downloaded the demo and realized that this is an extremely intuitive way to look at photos.
