New to Mac - Best Software

I put Evernote on after reading this thread, the mac version seems good but CHRIST the iPhone counterpart is rubbish...

Looks like it could be really good but it has to be the buggiest app i have used to date

Agree with you there MuGeN - I installed it today as I'd love a notes app that syncs between Mac/PC/iPhone. I primarily input notes on the iPhone but want to view them on my other machines. After it crashing multiple times in the first couple of hours of using it, I uninstalled it.

Guess I'm going to go back to using iPhone notes and opening Mail just to view them on Mac, unless someone has another alternative?

There is a 'Software for windows' thread in the windows section, im quite supprised the Apple section doesn't have one too, it would make things a lot easier for people migrating to mac

Hmm, I got one for you.

Best or a decent newsreader that supports NBZ files?

Ok thats as simple as hell, I could probably recreate that in less than a day with both windows and OSX clients. I probably would too if i didn't like copying other peoples idea's

Unison is supposed to be nice and easy, and now supports integrated PAR/RAR/join. You can also use Newsleecher or similar if you're running Fusion I believe? I'd be interested to know more myself, I'm considering leaping to the dark side this year.

I have found an excellent media player and it's called Movist. A much better alternative to VLC player and it's quite fast.

Found a really nice piece of software for stitching together photos to make panoramas, it's called DoubleTake

There are probably better ones out there, but after an evening searching this one seemed good.

WOW!
What a simple easy to use bit of kit.
Thanks for the share.
Used with 3 pics

Click for massive

Yeah it's good

in the time I've had it, I've only had to manually adjust a select few, obviously not as good as a real wide angle lens but it's not too bad.

With 4 pics.

that looks good if its free or even a nice cheap and cheerful bit of software, but photoshop does a much nicer job if you have it and didn't realise it had the "Photomerge" feature

Wouldn't have those dark vertical strips for starters

VaderDSL · 12 May 2010 at 15:21

Yeah it's like £18 or something, I opened Photoshop once, got lost, closed it

That's why Karl deleted it.
