PicLens – Fullscreen Image Browser

January 29, 2008 by Peter in Blog, Computing, Photography | 1 Comment

Cooliris has created a really interesting image viewer add-on for your browser. PicLens is a full-screen viewer for multiple images, whether in slide-show format or in a “wall” of images that can be clicked, dragged, zoomed, etc.:

It is available for various browsers, including IE, Firefox and Safari. I have tried the IE and Firefox ones and I can say that the IE one is a disappointment when compared to the Firefox add-on. IE only offers a 2D view and a slideshow, while the Firefox version really shows off the wall function (Flickr credit to t-dot-s-dot):

Download and install this add-on and go visit your favourite Flickr page, a Google Image search result, and more. They even have a WordPress plugin so that it can be incorporated into a personal site as well.

New site

I’ve just created a new site called pocophotos.com. The idea with this site is to be a place (yet another) to view pictures about the Poco area. Right now John and I will be the main contributors, but I hope to grow that.

Honestly, more of an exercise than a site but hey if you do an exercise and end up with a site, so be it ;).

This Site Has Been Pressed

OK, Thanks to John we are now on WordPress. What does this mean? Who knows ;). But we’re going to find out over the next little while – stay tuned!
