Program Features

PictureGear Version 3.2 Lite (hereafter referred to simply as PictureGear) is a software application that makes it easy to list, manage, and display image files stored in “Memory Stick”-s or on a computer’s hard disk. In PictureGear, each displayed image is called a slide.

List View and Zoom View

Slides within a selected folder are displayed in the List View. The List View can be zoomed in and out between 12.5 and 800% using the Zoom Bar, so any slide can be quickly selected.

As long as a slide is in an image format that can be handled by PictureGear, even if its format differs from other slides, it appears in the same List View together with the other slides. Slides in the List View can be displayed in order by date, name, etc.

Copy and Move Slides

Slides can be copied and moved by simple operations in the PictureGear window.

Zoom Display of a Slide

A slide selected in the List View can be displayed zoomed in a separate window (Single-Image View). Slides displayed in Single-Image View can be magnified, reduced and scrolled.

Print Slides

Slides can be printed, either singly or as multiple slides per page.

Play Movies in the Movie Playback Window

MPEG1 and AVI format movie files can be played in separate windows. A corresponding still image appears in the List View.

Use with Video and Digital Still Cameras

By connecting a Sony video or digital still camera to the PC, photographic images can be transferred between PictureGear and the camera.
