VeprIT Resize Sense 1.4.0: Flexible batch image resizer for Mac - Published on 12/11/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VeprIT releases Resize Sense 1.4.0, a major update of the batch image resizer/cropper/converter for Mac. A 2012 MacWorld Gem, Resize Sense is known for extreme flexibility and convenience, improved even further in the new version. Using powerful custom presets, it is now easy to resize many images, each one to several different sizes, save them in various formats, all in a single run. Also to crop and straighten individual images manually if desired, and copy these crop settings to other images.

Zoetermeer, Netherlands - VeprIT is pleased to announce Resize Sense 1.4.0. Resize Sense (Macworld Gem 2012) is a flexible batch image resizer/cropper/converter for Mac OS. Known for its extreme flexibility and convenience, Resize Sense is designed to fulfill nearly any batch resizing need. Using powerful custom presets in Resize Sense, it is easy to resize many images, each one to several different sizes, and save them in various formats. All this in a single batch operation, in a few minutes! It is also possible to crop and straighten individual images manually if desired, and copy these crop settings to other images. Resize Sense also offers some batch image transformations such as rotation and flipping.

Main features:
* Flexible resizing options. Resize Sense is designed to fulfill any batch resizing need as conveniently as possible
* Custom user presets. A user performing repetitive tasks only needs to configure the resizing options once per task, and save them as a size preset. It is even possible to apply multiple size presets to every image. Resize Sense also supports saving presets for file naming rules and format settings
* Manual per-image, per-preset crop & straighten adjustment. Most other batch image resizers allow at best to align the crop rectangle to the left/right/top/bottom, but a better control is often required
* Batch image cropper & straightener functionality. For images of the same size, Resize Sense can be used as a bulk image cropper and straightener, because it supports copying & pasting of the manual crop & straighten configuration between images
* Batch image format converter functionality. Resize Sense can be used to convert multiple images from any format supported by the operating system to JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, and BMP
* Batch image transformations. Rotation by 90 and 180 degrees, horizontal and vertical flipping
* Live final image preview. The user can see immediately how the final image will look after cropping, extending with solid borders, or distorting
* Simple, intuitive, self-explanatory user interface. Although it is a complex professional tool, Resize Sense is designed to be as simple and intuitive as possible

Resizing types:
* Fixed width and height. If the aspect ratio changes, you have a number of options to fix it
* Fixed width or height. The other dimension will be computed to preserve the original aspect ratio
* Fixed output image dimensions. They are assigned to width and height based on the original image orientation
* Fit to a box with defined width and height
* Fit to a box with defined dimensions
* Fixed longest edge size. The other dimension will be computed to preserve the required aspect ratio
* Fixed shortest edge size
* Fixed megapixel count. The width and height will be computed to preserve the required aspect ratio while achieving the required megapixel count
* Crop only. A special type for the case if only cropping (without specific sizing) is needed

Size units:
* Pixels
* Percents
* Inches
* Centimeters

Resolution units (available when defining size in inches or centimeters):
* Pixels per inch
* Pixels per centimeter

Additional resizing options: If the original image is too small for the requested size:
* Enlarge (up-sample) the image
* Extend the image with borders, transparent or of a solid color
* Do not save (skip) the image
* Copy the original image

If the image aspect ratio changes (the requested size is not proportional to the original):
* Crop the image, aligning the crop rectangle as desired, or even adjusting it manually
* Add solid borders of a customizable color
* Deform the image

New in Resize Sense 1.4.0: This major update brings the application batch resizing capabilities to a new level. Combined with other new features, Resize Sense becomes even more flexible than before, can perform a lot more work in a single batch operation. In more detail, this update offers the following:

* Saving presets. The user can save file naming and format settings as custom presets. Saving presets can be assigned to size presets to define how images of particular size should be saved. It is now possible to save images in different sizes and formats in a single batch operation
* New resizing type Fixed Megapixel Count defines the required image size in megapixels
* New ways to handle small images: in addition to up-sampling or skipping them, it is now possible to extend them with borders to achieve the desired size, or just copy originals. Copying originals saves the user from manual management of small images in a batch
* Transparent borders (in addition to solid color) can now be added to the image to fix its aspect ratio or when it is too small
* Batch image flipping and 180 degree rotation
* Constrain original aspect ratio option in several resizing types. Disabling this option allows to crop freely and resize in a single run
* Manual crop&straighten adjustment is now preserved (correctly adjusted) after rotation and flipping operations
* Copying, pasting, and resetting crop&straighten settings can now be performed both for the current and all size presets
* Saving in the original (automatically deduced) image format, or in a user-defined alternative if unsupported
* User preference controlling the default target directory when saving a single file
* Also the Mac App Store version now remembers the last used saving directory (only on the latest OS X systems). The user does not need to choose the same directory multiple times
* It is now allowed to interrupt saving
* Many usability improvements
* Bug fixes

Testimonials:
"Resize Sense 1.3 is a simple app that does some complex things in a relatively intuitive way. The program provides excellent user documentation to guide you to exactly the setting you need. If you have to resize or crop single or batches of images on a regular basis, you'll be glad to leave the heavy lifting to Resize Sense."

"Resize Sense is an all-in-one batch resizer and cropping tool that will save both time and tedious labor in getting one image - or hundreds of images - to exactly the right size for webpages, email, and layouts." - Jackie Dove, Macworld senior editor.

"Congratulation for your software, after long search this is the more flexible, powerful and stable." - Carlo Vigiani, Viggiosoft.

"It has been so long since I was looking for an app that would allow me to make image resizing fast and flexible. I evaluated many applications but all have limitations, and at the end I had to use a script in Automator. I finally found this application, which is the best in its kind. This software does one thing: resize batches of images, but it does so in an excellent manner and with a high degree of customization."

"Highly recommended, the amount requested is absolutely adequate and pays for itself in 30 minutes of tedious manual labor saved." - Pendolare, Resize Sense user (review on the Mac App Store Italy, translated from Italian).

"I bought this app a couple of days ago and am finding it great... Resizing images has ceased to be a chore. The layout couldn't be simpler, all on the one screen, very easy to organise you work. I really like the ability to resize to various dimensions all at the same time. Great price and really fast." - lensable, Resize Sense user (review on the Mac App Store Ireland).

"I recently bought your app and I must say that after many, many, many trials of similar software, yours is the best for my massive bulk resizing. Simply, fast and careful." - Eddie, Resize Sense user.

"Image resizing and cropping works very well and the app has a nice tidy interface that is easy to learn. I work in a medical industry where I need to be able to reprocess image folders containing hundreds of images and crop them to remove identifiers or technical data. I can do this in a matter of seconds using Resize Sense without the need of employing big cumbersome apps that consume a lot of system resources. Working with family photos is also a breeze. Well done of a very neat app." - MartinN2067, Resize Sense user (review on the Mac App Store).

"Professional tool for a good price. Nice features, quite easy to use if you understand some basics." - pp3920, Resize Sense user (review on the Mac App Store).

allAware Releases Innovative Free App Taking Non-Profits to the Cloud - Published on 12/11/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Linxter today announces allAware 1.6 for iOS, an update to its popular free web and mobile app solution for nonprofits. From alumni groups to churches, synagogues, private schools and student organizations, allAware enables nonprofits to harness the power of mobile computing and cloud technology to help solve communication and fundraising challenges. Version 1.6 offers simplified mobile account creation, as well as bug fixes, performance and UI enhancements.

Cooper City, Florida - allAware, the innovative free instant social app for nonprofits, has launched, allowing organizations to improve communication, build member engagement, and enable mobile donations and fundraisers. Developed by the Florida-based Linxter, Inc., allAware is the proven solution for nonprofits of all kinds to maximize their virtual reach.

The brainchild of Jason Milgram, founder of Linxter, allAware grew out of observing the real world needs at the temple his family attends in Cooper City, FL. Like many faith-based organizations, Jason saw that member-wide communication was always a challenge at Temple Beth Emet, even though they utilized a website and a weekly email newsletter. Realizing a mobile app could help alleviate this problem, Jason set out to build a program that would allow members to double-check event and meetings times whenever and wherever they were. In addition, members could be informed on the latest news, chat with other members, and make mobile donations.

Development of allAware began as a side-project in January 2011. However, as Jason continued to work on the app and talk with others about his project, he realized that solving communication and fundraising challenges was a universal issue for faith-based organizations and nonprofits of all kinds. "It was in April 2011 when I was speaking at a tech conference in Las Vegas that things changed," said Jason. "I was taking about allAware during lunch and two folks almost jumped out of their seats asking when they could get the app." At that point, Jason turned the entire focus of his company to completing allAware.

Early testing with organizations began in November 2011, and in February 2012 allAware beta became publically available as a test version. "As of today, we have several hundred organizations using the app with just over 200,000 active users," Jason explained. "Our earlier releases were a bit rough, but from working with and getting feedback from these organizations, we have been improving the app bit by bit into what I think is truly a special product."

allAware enables members to make one-time or recurring donations with a few clicks using a previously entered credit card. Last month, allAware introduced mobile fundraisers, which allow nonprofits to sell items online, such as books, t-shirts, event tickets, or whatever they want. Just introduced is the pay-a-bill option, allowing members to pay membership fees or dues, or school or camp fees via the app as well.

Temple Beth Emet just put their gift shop online for their members. "Having our gift shop online enables our members to purchase items, such as Shabbat candles, or a gift for a loved one, whenever it is convenient for them," said Rabbi Frank DeWoskin. "But what we like most about allAware is that it is improving our member engagement, allowing anytime and anywhere communication and interaction with and among our members, strengthening our community."

"allAware does not replace anything that organizations already have such as their Facebook page or website," explains Jason. "allAware is another tool nonprofits can use to help solve the communication and fundraising challenges they face."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 4.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Free for members and users, allAware 1.6 is available worldwide through the App Store in the Social Networking category. In order for the company to keep the lights on, they charge organizations a $1.50 deposit fee for collected donations. The frequency of deposits is at the discretion of each individual organization. For fundraisers and pay-a-bill options, there is a $1.50 processing fee per transaction, paid by the purchaser.

Call Bliss enhances iPhone's new Do Not Disturb feature - Published on 12/11/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

nVariance today introduces Call Bliss 1.0, a simple, yet powerful iPhone app that enhances iOS 6.0's new "Do Not Disturb" feature. Call Bliss ensures callers you want to talk to can reach you, and those you don't, can't. It makes it simple to create groups of allowed callers and activate them with a tap when you want their calls, or deactivate them when you don't. The app can control which callers can reach you in specific locations, such as home, work, while on the road, or at the golf course.

Scottsdale, Arizona - nVariance today is thrilled to announce the release of Call Bliss 1.0, a simple-yet-powerful app that enhances iOS 6.0's new "Do Not Disturb" feature by making it easier for iPhone(R) users to manage who can call them while Do Not Disturb is activated. Wherever you go, Call Bliss automatically ensures callers you want to talk to can reach you - and those you don't, can't.

"Do Not Disturb" was one of iOS 6's most well-received additions. It silences all incoming calls unless the caller is on its "Allowed Callers" list, but doesn't make it easy to customize or modify that list for different activities and locations.

Call Bliss makes it simple to create groups of allowed callers and activate them with a tap when you want their calls - or deactivate them when you don't. Even better, it can control which callers can reach you in specific locations, such as home, work, while on the road, or at the golf course. Call Bliss will also automatically update your Allowed Callers list when entering new places, so you don't have to lift a finger to be sure the right people can always call you.

Call Bliss is also extremely customizable. Your most important callers, such as a spouse or significant other, children, parents, best friends, and even business partners can be added to Call Bliss' "Always Allowed" list to ensure they can always reach you.

For times when you want to be left alone, Call Bliss provides a "Blackout Mode" that silences all calls. During times when you want to be sure you can be reached by friends, family and co-workers, its "Open Door Mode" lets calls ring through from anyone in your address book, while still eliminating the annoyance of unknown callers.

Call Bliss makes Do Not Disturb more useful and versatile, and your days more productive and enjoyable. Call Bliss users gain peace of mind knowing they won't miss important calls, while no longer being bothered by unwanted callers.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 3.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Call Bliss 1.0 is offered at the introductory price of $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

Not A Basement Studio was started in January 2010 when Ken Luong, Khoa Nguyen and Hieu Tran were getting bored with the university's curriculum and WoW's raiding nights. Being avid manga fans, they looked to the App Store for something to cure their boredom. That's when the idea for their first app came about. After four months of hard work and countless (actually 120) sleepless nights, Manga Rock, a manga reader for the iPhone, was released. Greeted with much love, and hate, the app received close to one million download on the app store. Two years later, joined by more like-minded and passionate people, we are now making awesome apps for the iOS App Store, making life better, one app at a time.
