After a long absence, thank you JK, like Iain I missed Faststone on the Mac.

One of the latest and best improvements is the ability to do conversions (single or batch).

You can convert from NEF or PSD, specify the max size in pixels, and rename or not and put them all in a folder or not and it's pretty much a job of filling in the size and clicking once you set it up... I use this a lot to convert files to jpg for web or posting.

Welcome back Richard.
Glad that you have returned.

Hope that you enjoy Lyn. There are not as many nice features as in FastStone but cant win every which way round!

That gives me certain rights and expectations.
I shouldnt need to download a patch multiple times to apply to my computers. Even Microsoft acknowledges that.

Unfortunately the 'Silicon Valley mentality' seems to be spreading with little idea that most people actually dont have more than 1MB except in city conurbations and research sites.

Hi There photo people, I had a look at the LYN trial software and I cannot find any way to convert multiple files to B/W. Does anyone know if it is possible with LYN or is there an alternate MAC software that anyone can recommend.

No Lyn doesnt provide those features it just gives image browsing and slideshows and some RAW file conversion (personally I would use it for RAW conversion but would use LightZone which is current in version 4 and beta 4.05.).

If you want lite image editing then use Preview for changes to Contrast, Exposure, Saturation, Cropping etc.
