Pixfer Image Download Software Released
Glass Lantern Press Release
Glass Lantern, LLC releases Pixfer v1.0 for Microsoft Windows XP
Washington, DC, 29 March, 2005: Glass Lantern, LLC announces the release of Pixfer for Microsoft Windows XP. This application allows digital photographers to rapidly transfer, rename, and verify images from up to three storage cards simultaneously. Professional features such as hard drive checking (S.M.A.R.T) before each transfer and copying images to two independent locations for instant backup help to ensure that images are not lost due to hardware failure. For event photographers, flexible renaming based on EXIF data keeps things organized even with multiple photographers transferring images at the same time. Storage cards can be cleared as images are transferred, as well as safely ejected when each
transfer completes. RAW formats from a wide variety of cameras are supported, including maker-specific data such as subsecond time information in Nikon DSLR files. Status is provided for each individual transfer, including a time estimate for when each transfer will complete.
For non-professional users, Pixfer’s basic single transfer functionality is available for free. In order to run multiple transfers simultaneously, transfer to multiple locations, verify transfers, and check hard disks before each transfer, users must purchase a license key. However, for those who wish to try the professional functionality before purchasing a license key, all features are fully enabled on Tuesdays.
