[prMac.com] Cremona, Italy - Independent developer Mirko Viviani today is pleased to announce Lyn 1.1.1 for Mac OS X, an update to his low-cost, fast, and lightweight image viewer and browser designed for photographers, graphic artists, and web designers. It provides native support for all popular image formats, such as: JPEG, TIFF, JPEG2000, PNG, TGA, BMP, ECW, HDR, OpenEXR, PPM, SGI, XBM, XPM, PFM, Animated GIF, and all other formats supported by OS X. Just 29 MB in size versus iPhoto's 278 MB, the app loads and views images of virtually any size. With its combined swap, tiling, and on-the-fly scaling technology, Lyn can load and display truly high-resolution, progressive images. In addition, the app supports multi-core processing, single or multiple monitors, and Camera RAW and DNG files from most DSLRs.

Into the battle between Apple's Aperture and Adobe's Lightroom image browsers steps the diminutive Lyn application from independent developer Mirko Viviani. Featuring an extremely versatile and aesthetically pleasing interface, Lyn provides these widely used industry leaders some serious competition at a fraction of their size and cost. While it currently lacks tools for color correction (coming soon), etc., it does allow non-destructive image editing transformations, saving crops, flips, and rotations as special file attributes. And Lyn is able to attach and browse photo libraries created in iPhoto, Aperture, and Lightroom.
As an image viewer and browser, Lyn includes a host of useful features. With its multi-threading operations, it uses all the power of the host CPU, speeding through batch conversions and other processor-intensive tasks. It supports High Dynamic-Range images, including RGBA float and RGBA double images as well as radiance, PFM, and OpenEXR images. The app's color profile management capabilities detect and apply embedded profiles or color profiles specified in the Exif or Makernote section. And users can easily view common metadata attached to their images: Comments, Exif, Cameras' makernote, Gps, GeoTIFF, and IPTC.

Lyn also has built-in connectivity to allow publishing to Facebook, Flickr, 500px and Picasa; email photos using Mail.app, Mailplane, or Postbox. Photographers can easily mark photos with flags, rate photos for sorting (1 to 5 stars), assign keywords, or add color labels. Photos can be filtered and sorted with the Search toolbar field or displayed chronologically from oldest to newest or the reverse.
