This new version brings a lot of speed back, thanks to better use of memory and a better organisation of tasks. There should be less crashes too, please continue to let me know about them. Thanks to these optimisations, we were able to switch from thumbnails to previews earlier than before, which I’m sure […]

There is no way gpuViewer can be explained through screenshots only and I have finally come round to doing a little video on the subject.
You’ll have to put up with my french accent and less than dynamic presentation but despite all its defects, I still do hope you will enjoy this video !

Today is an important step forward in the life of gpuViewer with the addition of the “where” view.
Now, instead of having just a calendar in your main view, you also have a map. The user interface stays the same: you simply zoom using the mouse wheel…
To put your pictures on the map, nothing complicated: […]

The SDK is finally available and it looks very good! From what I’ve seen, it does give the sort of access I was looking for to do a straight port of gpuViewer. And More !

and it’s now available in France! (as well as 37 other countries).
This is important to photographers because one of the most neglected aspects of digital photography is having a backup strategy, let alone implementing it or keeping any regularity in this process. Most people have all their photos on one hard drive (and it’s […]

In a very surprising session of just one day, I have both managed to integrate Intel’s Performance Primitives (to deal with JPEG both fast and in a cross-platform manner) and see a 64bits build run for the first time. One thing is obvious, here on a quadcore with 8GB RAM : we waste a […]

With the release of v0.2, a bit of tidying up of the documentation was in order. This is now done, you can access it here: gpuViewer user guide
The important part explains how to use the new SIFT related features, you can skip directly to that if you prefer: Photo Recognition
Please send as much feedback […]

This has been a long update to come and I hope you will all realise the sort of step forward it represents.
First of all, let’s talk a little bit of the smaller updates.
- there has been quite a bit of improvement on previous/next navigation. Using the left or right arrow keys bring the […]

This is a splendid computer, with many desirable features, but not the one I was expecting most… Multitouch is there, implemented in a shy way, through the trackpad, when I was hoping for the actual screen to be multitouch. This isn’t going to be as intuitive, and my initial impression is that it isn’t […]

I am looking very closely into the dataportability initiative, which is well described in the video below:

DataPortability - Connect, Control, Share, Remix from Smashcut Media on Vimeo.
One set of features planned for GpuViewer is the ability to not only let you upload your pictures online, but also keep track of what happens to them, […]
