Hello all,
I've made an update to Image Info to include some new features and fixes...
(Image Info is an AppleScript library which returns information about image
files without loading the whole image into memory. Because it does not need
to open the whole image, it returns the info very quickly. Image Info runs
on all Macintosh system from 7.5 to OS X.)
New:
- Added support for vector EPS's, returning document fonts and colors.
- Added TIFF encoding info (Mac, IBM).
- Added EPS encoding info (Binary, Ascii).
- Added EPS type info (Raster, Vector).
- Added EPS compression info (JPEG)
- Added Photoshop extra channels info.
- Added a "Sort by Resolution" example script.
Fixed and changed:
- JPEGs now return their info a bit faster.
- Fixed resolution info from very large TIFFs with very high resolutions.
- Fixed returned info of Photoshop multichannel color mode.
- Fixed returned resolutions for EXIF type JPEGs.
- Now only returns info for the composite part of multiple file DCS files.
(Skips the plate files.)
- Fixed a bug in the "Sort landscape & portrait" script.
- and several others
