through those old woods a path was made.

Photon Star lets you rate pictures with a surprisingly efficient workflow. Use your Mac's remote control or keyboard to enjoy rating photos from an iPhoto album. Just give thumbs up or down in each rating stage: up promotes a photo to the next stage, down holds the photo for that rating level.

Working through multiple stages might sound slow, but the consistent up/down decision brings you into a great flow. (Calf Trail can't claim full credit for this — the idea was inspired by part of this blog post by a fellow who makes some great Flickr tools for the Mac.) There are a few other workflows hidden in Photon Star, but this simple method remained our favorite.

Photon Star is still in beta, although you can already buy it at a discounted "early bird" price. Please try the demo and let us know what you think!

A taste of things to come

2010 February 9

I mentioned that Calf Trail has been working on a new iPhoto-related utility. A public beta is very close, so here's another teaser to whet your appetite a bit:

Oh, and when I say a beta is very close: I mean the app's webpage and download have already been uploaded. I might be willing to spoil the surprise for those among Calf Trail's small blog audience, so let me know if you'd like early access to the beta.

New store

2010 February 2

Kinda boring maybe, but I switched over to a new store system late Saturday night.

To make it a little less boring, I'm giving out a few free licenses of Geotagalog. Tell a friend — if they're among the first 5 people to enter the coupon code HUZZAH in Calf Trail's new store today, they'll get a license key on me.
