Photo+ for Mac from ArcSoft – Easy to Use Photo Software

Fremont, California based ArcSoft, Inc. has announced its release of Photo+, a new photo viewer that allows MAc Users to Browse Through archived photos Without Importing Into Software. Unlike other programs that require users to import photos directly into the software, Photo+ pulls directly from any folder or drive. By just dragging or selecting a single image, Photo+ automatically displays every image from the same folder without the constant closing and clicking that accompanies so many standard photo-viewing programs. By analyzing and correcting user frustrations with the built-in tools and the missing elements from competing products, ArcSoft developed Photo+ for Mac to create the elegant experience Mac users have come to expect from their software.

“Photo+ really is a response to a huge gap in the photo viewing and manipulating software,” says Sean Mao, Vice President of Marketing at ArcSoft, Inc. “Today, everyone has a smartphone equipped with a great camera capable of taking great photos. Photo+ is a platform that is simple, streamlined and appeals to both the amateur and the professional photographer.”

Photo+ is smart enough to rotate vertical photos automatically so users don’t waste time rotating each photo. A simple swipe of the fingers moves the slideshow backward or forwards and a quick pinch allows Photo+ users zoom without having to find the individual file, open it and begin zooming. If users prefer an overview of their photos, the thumbnail view is instantly available while the slideshow option allows for customization options such as music and more than a dozen transitions.

“So many photos can be overwhelming,” says Mao. “Photo+ has created a platform that makes it easy to edit the photos you don’t want and share the memories you do.” Sharing your photos is as simple as clicking the spacebar and selecting favorites while browsing. From there, users can instantly share individual photos or a slideshow to Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.
