WidePhotoViewer
Show photos from Flickr, Facebook, SmugMug, LifePics, Dropbox, and the Photo Library. FTP directly from your Mac or PC. Incredibly complete: grid and full-screen views, slideshows, camera support, caption viewing an editing, uploading, downloading for offline viewing. Go to the WidePhotoViewer website for lots of screenshots and the extensive help pages. |
PhotoWord
PhotoWord is a unique and addictive game (in a good way). It's best described as a photo guessing game. You see 6 photos that have a common tag, and then you choose the tag from one of the buttons. There are over a quintillion combinations of buttons and over 100,000 possible images. |
Photochrom
Photochroms—color lithographs made from photographic negatives—were popular for a few decades from about 1890 on, before color photography was commercially viable. With Photochrom Ultimate you can view over 6,000 photochroms, divided into three volumes of about 2,000 Photochroms each. Each volume is also available as a separate app. (more) |

This app shows nearly 10,000 photographs from the Carol M. Highsmith Archive at the Library of Congress. There are four groups of photos: Carol's Favorite 100, Alabama (about 4,000 photographs), Washington, D. C. (about 3,000), and most of the other states (about 2,500). |
This app shows about 400 photographs of Cuba from the Carol M. Highsmith Archive at the Library of Congress. Not just government buildings and museums—lots of street life, too. |
Manzanar
244 Ansel Adams photos, 61 Manzanar-related Dorothea Lange photos, 63 photos of Manzanar in 1994, and all 112 pages of Adams's 1944 book, Born Free and Equal. Manzanar was one of 10 War Relocation Centers—prisons, really—operated from 1942 to 1944. It's the best known, principally because it was photographed by Ansel Adams. (more) |

Over 900 historic panoramic photographs of US and foreign cities. There are 10 chronological groups, and four city-groups: Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. The widest panorama is over 10,000 pixels, which is 10 iPad screens of panning! Drag your finger to pan, as though you were looking at the scene live and swiveling your neck. It's a fun, unique way to view panoramas. |
Dorothea Lange was perhaps the best-known photographer working for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) from about 1933 to 1939, mostly because of her iconic photograph Migrant Mother.
This app shows essentially all of the digitized Dorothea Lange photographs in the Library of Congress archive, over 3,800 photographs in all. |
Shuttles are soon to be only museum pieces, but you can still relive the thrill of space flight! This app shows about 900 unique images of American space flight from the NASA archives, divided into 10 groups covering the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Shuttle, and Space Station programs. Captions, all from NASA, are extensive: almost 100,000 words in all. |

Proof Sheet
New! Proof Sheet is the ultimate proof-sheet (contact-sheet) utility. You can easily control the grid arrangement, the margins, the page and cell headers and footers, the font, and more. You can incorporate variables into headers and footers to display dates and times, captions, filenames, EXIF data, and IPTC data. For JPEGs only, not raws, TIFFs, PSDs, etc. If you need quick, attractive proof sheets for a couple of hundred photos and don't want to spend all day on it, Proof Sheet can do the whole job in 5 minutes. For MacOS 10.6 only; no Windows version. |
ExifExtreme
ExifExtreme displays all EXIF and IPTC info for an image of almost any type (JPG, TIF, NEF, CR2, ORF, DNG, PSD, etc.). Drag a file from the Finder to the window or dock icon, or use File-Open. For MacOS 10.6 only; no Windows version. (more) |
ImageVerifier 2
ImageVerifier scans folders for images and verifies that they're OK by examining their internal structure. It handles JPEGs, TIFFs, PSDs, and most raws (NEF, CR2, etc.). It's ideal for checking your archived or active photos, and then for periodically re-checking them. ImageVerifier is an industrial-strength app that's been used by hundreds of professional photographers for several years. Now, it's available for the first time in the App Store at a very low price. For MacOS 10.6 only only; slightly different Windows and MacOS versions are included with ImageIngester. |
