New Version of Cameraid for Mac Available

Cameraid 1.1.2. is primarily a maintenance release, making the program work better with Keyspan serial ports and adapters and some minor tweaks for System 8.5.1. Now that most Apple machines no longer have built-in serial ports, USB and PCI serial port adapters are becoming more important. The revised Cameraid manual also has a section on memory card readers. With a memory card reader, Cameraid can be used with nearly any camera that supports removable media.

Cameraid 1.1.2 (shareware, ) is the all in one digital photography utility program for the Macintosh. Cameraid downloads images from Agfa, Apple (QT-200), Epson, Fuji, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Sanyo and Toshiba digital cameras. Use any serial port, including third party solutions such as the Keyspan SX Serial Card or their USB adapter (iMac and PowerMac G3BW compatible) http://www.keyspan.com.

The viewer is the most convenient way to find out what exposure time and aperture was used for taking a photo. It is compatible with almost all new digital cameras (including Kodak, Minolta, etc). Cameraid can rotate and transform on JPEG images without degrading image quality.

Powerful batch operations can be used to copy files from flash memory cards, automatically create simple HTML web pages, add custom icons, rename files based on the date and time when the photo was taken and much more. Automatic enhancement filters enhance images with minimal user interaction. What used to take hours of manual labor can now be done in minutes using a single batch operation. A unique filter can be used to reduce CCD image sensor and interlace artifacts.

Requires A Macintosh with a 68020 or better processor, QuickTime, at least System 7 and 2MB of available RAM. The unregistered shareware version is fully functional, but includes built-in delays and registration reminders in some operations. The registration fee (payable through Kagi) will eliminate the delays and make working with Cameraid faster and smoother.
