Recently I was very happy to push out an update to all of our clients websites. This is a new image viewer that actually uses the maximum viewable size on each client's computer. Also it is very easy for the user to go forward and backwards to view the images. This allows the users to see the photos with great detail and large image sizes that fill up the entire screen.

You can try out a sample right now on one of our demo sites.

Sometimes it is necessary to rotate a photo after uploading it to the server. Our software is unique in the way that it rotates photos. If a normal photo size such as 1920px x 1080px is uploaded, our software can rotate it without any loss of information. This means you could rotate the photo an infinite amount of times without any loss of information or re-compression. Normally this does not happen with other software. The way most software works is it rotates the image and compresses the image each time. This has the effect of creating a loss of quality. This is similar to making a photocopy of a photocopy.

After researching this with Microsoft I was able to come up with some great code that will automatically rotate an image without a loss of quality. This is very important for JPEGs. Which is the most common format for images on the web? JPEG.

This update was recently released on all of our clients sites.

Thank you

Recently a new free update was pushed out to each of the clients using Expert Auction Software.

The new update automatically detects image orientation. It will then attempt to rotate based on the orientation of the camera that took the photo.

For instance if a person took a photo holding the camera vertically, then after the photo is uploaded to our server our software will attempt to read special information embedded in the photo/image file that is related to the orientation of the camera. Then based on that information our software on the server will rotate the image.

This has been a great update for some of our users.

Thank you.
