Hi,

with all that top 5 shareware progs discussion going on, I can only say: GraphicConverter is one of them, and version 5 came out today. You can find alist of the changes at http://www.lemkesoft.com/en/graphversionsueb.htm and download it from http://www.lemkesoft.com/en/graphdownld_en.htm.

This app rocks! Keep up the good work, Lemkesoft.

It is a nice app, but needed desperately a nicer interface. It was very cluttered in v. 4.x.x. Has Lemke addressed this issue at all in v. 5?

The menus were thinned out and reorganised in one of the 4.9.x releases, which made it more usable.

GraphicConverter was the first shareware program that I ever paid for, and I am very glad I did. Here it is many years later, and I still get a free upgrade to the latest version.

I guess I'm blessed by a boss that lets me buy graphics applications whenever I want...

I haven't used since 10.2... (before Photoshop)

Is there anything that deals with NeXT / Mac OS X Server .Tiff files correctly? Photoshop throws away the mask, GraphicConverter (even 5) will import the colour page ok but explorts excluding a mask, TiFFany appears RIP...

Help?

v5.0 adds an extended Dock menu, which is nice as I didn't see this as one of the newly touted features.

I think asking support@graphicconverter.net describing your problem would be worth a try.

This sounds like a hilarious sound effect.

Do they work in Preview (which I would expect, since it's been around since then)? Maybe you could re-export them from there or something if you need to edit them.

Since I moved to OSX I haven't had the need to use GC. Back on the os7-9 days I liked it though. Mostly because Apple didn't have an good/fast image viewing app till later on.
