FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Glass Lantern releases PocketLoupe
Pocket PC users can now display digital photographs including Nikon NEF and Canon CRW raw files.
Washington, DC, 6 November, 2002: Glass Lantern, LLC announces the release of Glass Lantern PocketLoupe, a Pocket PC application that allows digital photographers to display the large thumbnails embedded in Nikon NEF and Canon CRW raw files, as well as standard JPEG images. The large embedded thumbnails in NEF and CRW files range from 570 pixels wide to over a thousand, providing an accurate, detailed view of each photograph. With the proper Pocket PC hardware, a photographer can insert the storage card from their camera into a Pocket PC and access their photographs directly from the card. To check for sharpness and detail, images can be zoomed and panned directly with the stylus. With one tap, 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. Pictures can be deleted to free space on the storage card. Unlike many other photo viewing products, PocketLoupe is specifically designed for evaluating photographs in the field without a laptop computer. The Pocket PC's bright screen, easily readable even in direct sunlight, means that clients, friends, and the photographer can all see and evaluate images anywhere they are taken. For older Pocket PC devices with 12-bit screens that display a limited number of colors, PocketLoupe offers optional dithering to enhance the appearance of the images.
PocketLoupe joins Pixfer in Glass Lantern's suite of Pocket PC digital photography software products. Pixfer allows photographers to efficiently transfer digital images from expensive storage cards to less expensive hard disks using a Pocket PC. Used together, these two products enable photographers to both transfer and view their photographs using a Pocket PC.
Any storage technology that connects to the Pocket PC as a standard storage card can be used with PocketLoupe, including SD, Compact Flash, PCMCIA, and other formats with the correct Pocket PC. Depending on the Pocket PC model, an adapter may be necessary for some storage cards. See http://www.glasslantern.com for detailed information.
A free demonstration version of PocketLoupe can be downloaded at http://www.glasslantern.com.
