Sep 01, 2014 - PDF IMAGE EXTRACTION WIZARD 6.2!

Yet another update to PDF Wiz! This update adds an option to invert the colors of extracted images. This can be useful when extracting images where the PDF creator has done "weird" things to the images (usually in order to optimize compression). Another new feature allows you to choose to apply image transfomrations (rotation, flipping, color invert) to only lossless or JPEG compressed images, or both.

Mar 29, 2014 - PHOTO SIFT 1.1
-
The first version of PhotoSift was positively recieved. It did however lack some basic functionality such as undo and zooming. So I have been working on adding this and other neat things. This new version is much more mature and I hope it will be an even more useful utility now!
Jan 22, 2014 - PHOTO SIFT 1.0
-
Today I am proud to announce the first public version of a new utility called PhotoSift! I developed this utility together with a photographer who needed a way to organize his large unsorted image libraries.

Any of you familiar with Flash Renamer will instantly recognize how it works, but instead of filenames it loads text files that you process each line in. I hope many of you will find this useful! (Since the code is based on Flash Renamer and it is fully loaded with functionality right from the start, I have decided to bump the version to 2.0 even though this is the first public release.)

Many years ago, I made a small program that I called NSF Tool. It is a simple utility for managing your "NES Sound Format" collection. I released it on my personal homepage, which I have since closed. Lately I have been working on updating this program and today I decided that it was time to release this update!
April 8, 2010 - HOT SPOT STUDIO 2.0!
-
Surprise! Yet another brand new program for you all! Hot Spot Studio is a program I whipped together a couple of years ago, but never got around to release. I finally set off some time and made it into a "real" program. It's mostly a fun toy to play around with, but it is surprisingly addictive and I'm sure you will find yourself hooked on creating abstract masterpieces! :-)

It's time for an update to PDF Wiz. This time I have added batch functionality so you can extract image from many PDFs in a single go! I have also split the program into two versions; Basic and Pro. For differences see here. Already registered users are automatically upgraded to the Pro version!

February 22, 2010 - BEEP.EXE

Some years ago I made a very simple program that simply makes a notification sound through the PC speaker. I use it to tell when my PC has booted and is ready to use. I figured that someone else might find it useful too, so I made it available here on my site today!
