Glass Lantern Updates PocketLoupe and Pixfer
http://www.glasslantern.com
If you're a digital photographer, you should have a look at the solutions provided by Glass Lantern.
PocketLoupe enables you to examine your pictures in JPEG, NEF, CRW, RAF or MRW format on your Pocket PC, so you can find out if you captured exactly that what you were aiming for. PocketLoupe displays information about the image including the image dimensions, time and date the photograph was taken, and additional data such as exposure, ISO setting, and focal length, depending on the camera. Gamma correction and RGB histogram support provide an accurate method for checking exposure. Next to that it allows you to e-mail thumbnails, rotate and delete images.
Pixfer is designed to transfer pictures from one storage card to the other. This way you could use the more expensive cards in your camera, and store images on a cheaper solution, like a PCMCIA harddisk. Transfers should be twice as fast compared to using the built in file explorer. Next to that, Pixfer contains data safety features, as file verification, and enables you to rename your pictures using EXIF data. Pixfer can also transfer voice annotations with the pictures.

Not bad, but $34.95 each is rather pricy for what these tools do. I was going to give PocketLoupe a go til I saw the price. :?

If you shoot digital RAW format and want to view them quickly on a PPC in the field or transfer large CF card files to PCMCIA drives, the software is invaluable, nothing else exists to accomplish either. Not for casual use, but fantastic tools for pros. And the support and updates are top notch for registered users.

Fair enough. I can do quite a few of those things on my Canon S45 anyway - histogram analysis being the most important in the field. I shoot a lot of pictures at a time but almost always go and transfer them to my PC pretty quickly. The histogram tool on my camera lets me see if I've go the right exposure, which is what I really need. I can see a use for PocketLoupe and it looks good, but it's not for me just yet.
