I am thrilled to announce the immediate availability of JustLooking 3.3.2. JustLooking is a program to view pictures and images on your Mac OS X (Tiger or newer) based computer. JustLooking is a Universal Binary, and can be run on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. The program is and will always be very free
- Download JustLooking-3.3.2.dmg now (HTTP – USA)
- Download JustLooking-3.3.2.dmg now (BitTorrent – TPB)
Version 3.3.2 of JustLooking is the best version yet, and contains some massive changes and improvements over previous versions:
- Switching between images is significantly smoother and less jerky than before.
- Images can now be sorted by the same order as “Finder”, or by date, with support for reverse sorting.
- Shuffle mode for full screen slide show.
- You can now rename files or move them to a different folder
- When you ‘save as’ or move an image to a different directory, you can now tell JustLooking not to switch folders and reload the file list.
- Image properties and meta data (i.e. Exif) are now properly saved along with files. Colour Profiles are also correctly managed now.
- Zooming is fixed to be a bit less unpredictable
- File resizing and saving is also much better than before, although, due to limitations in the CoreImage filters I’m using for resizing, still not perfect. The huge white lines seen in previous versions after resizing are now gone, but there are still some unfortunate artifacts on occasion. I will completely rewrite this code for the 4.0 series of JustLooking.
- The JustLooking application icon looks less horrible now.
- New Slovakian translation!
JustLooking 3.3 ships in the following languages:
- French
- Italian
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Portuguese
- Spanish
- Dutch
- Slovenian
- Polish
- Korean
- Catalàn
- Finnish
- German
- Slovakian (new!)
- Turkish (new!)
- Croatian (new!)
Swedish, Russian, Traditional Chinese, and Norwegian have not been included in this version as they are getting too out of date now.
Feedback and Bug Reports
I will soon begin work on 4.0, although I have a full time job now (gotta pay the bills, y’see), so the progress will be a bit slower again. If you have any feature requests, please do let me know, and I will endeavour to add them.
Great Job!!

Very good application!!!
When in fullscreen I'd like to see the commands bar perhaps like in fullscreen vlc
another feature that I'd appreciate would be the chance to navigate in the folders like traditional picture browser (like phoenix-slide which has an ugly gui but it is full of features) can do
thanks a lot for your work!!

Nice start, seems simple and intuitive. It would be nice when zoomed into an image, that clicking and dragging the mouse in the window would pan the image. It would also be nice if the app would display the current zoom level (am I at 100%? etc.). An option to turn on RGB / CMYK / Hex color values for the mouse position would be great too. And while I'm dreaming, a place to view and change/add Spotlight comments (tags) would be wonderful.
Excellent software

Add More than One Picture Folder at a time feature...(read sub-folders)
Posted By: Folder Guy Jun 27, 2009 13:59:58
I truly appreciate your hard work with this cool application! Cheers! I always look forward to updates to this app with excitement hoping to find the one feature that is missing and I'm most interested in. I have written about it for the past but still haven't seen it implemented. I hope it's not too much to ask for.
>> I would like to be able to add more than 1 picture folder at a time and have it read folder within folders too.
If you have 10 sets of folders, each set different, and you drag all of them, unfortunately only the top 1 folder is read...also if you have a master picture folder with several different sub-folders of pics and you drag the master folder in, it will not accept it.
I have so many sub-category folders within master folders...I'd like to be able to just use master folders and have the ability to read all sub-folders too, instead of just 1 folder at a time.
Hope to see a quick 3.3.1 update with this ;) -I'd be so grateful!! Thanks!

NEF is slow
Posted By: Stg Unholy Jun 29, 2009 01:38:22
Thank You a lot for such nice application, I moved to Mac recently, and search for some good viewer application....The only problem that I have is NEF images loaded and displayed really slow (much slower then in standard Preview) also transitions between NEFs are little bit freezy...Also it will be great to have infinite delay in slideshow (images will be switched only by pressing space)
Marc, You could be for a big one here!

Hi Marc,
Mac user are looking for this one for years, fast and furious!
I used to use ACDSee which is the best but sadley no longer for mac, even Adobe bridge is slow with thumbnail - how can you display them so fast, Adobe Bridge uses Bridgecache to remember the thumbnails but still slow, and beside not many have Adobe Photoshop.
A few extra will be brilliant such as a drag hand when enlarge so you can click with the mouse on the foto and drag it once it is larger.
Further more can we have on one side of the thumbnails a folder box so we dont have to go to Finder,
plus goback to the privious folder
Right click should give you some options such as openwith or delete or move and so and so,
Look at ACDSee and if you can do similar I would pay £50-100 for the new JustLooking,
You never know it could be the new standard Mac Photo viewer everywhere, and you will be very rich?
Good luck - I love it, using it all the time

Rename/Move?
Posted By: bfk Aug 12, 2009 16:38:10
There's a Menu Item for Rename/Move...but it only seems to Rename.
A way to Move files would be good.
Also, the previous post about "Add More than One Picture Folder at a time feature...(read sub-folders)" is a good point. This would make your nice little program far more valuable in my everyday use.

Please add a "Remember Zoom" option
Posted By: Os Sep 05, 2009 03:57:14
Hi,
Just Looking is great! I would like to request for a remember zoom option so that when I move from one image to another, my zoom preference stays the same!
It is kinda annoying to keep setting the zoom for each image i view!
Thanks again!

bug
Posted By: Joe Sep 11, 2009 20:15:33
I changed some settings in the preferences and now when i open a file all i see is black. the image will not show unless i start the slideshow. i tried reverting to the original settings, uninstalling and reinstalling, but i can't get it to work. unfortunately, i can't use your program anymore. i'm not sure what the problem is, but maybe there should be a "reset settings" button or something. i hope you can fix this, or tell me what's wrong.
thanks,
joe

Freaky! That's terrible news. If you could try to remember what you did to cause it, i'd appreciate it.
To reset, just delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.chipmunkninja.JustLooking.plist
(in Finder you can browse to Library/Preferences in your home dir and then delete that file).

better than xee
Posted By: website seals Sep 25, 2009 13:30:32
thanks Marc! I was using xee, but it was so slow to display images. I used to wait just 5 seconds to load up the first picture in a folder, and that's 5 seconds too slow for me - justlooking does it instantly. Love the fading effects that justlooking has too! Appreciate your hard work!
Requests
Posted By: Chris Sep 25, 2009 13:41:13
Hey there Marc.
first of all great program. it's so much better than what is out there for a mac.
anyways i would like request a couple of things.
the zooming, it would be nice if the zoom actually locked from image to image, it's a real hassle to change it every time i skip to a new picture.
another request is full screen with the locked zoom minus the auto play (slide show).
and lastly, have the arrow keys move the picture around when the image is zoomed in.
i know three request is quite alot but if these could be taken into consideration it would be great.

Hi, Marc. Love the program, but unfortunately I've been having similar issues to Joe's above for the last few versions. No images show anymore on my Macbook running 10.5.8 or iBook running 10.4.11. I've reinstalled a few times and deleted the plist, too. No idea what's causing it to bonk, but come to think of it, the issue may have started about the time I changed my Preferences (background color to white in both).
Update as I type: I just noticed that if I go back in and start changing the background color, parts of the image start to appear. The (still partial) images are so slow to load that the slideshow doesn't work. Kinda hangs up with part of the first image and part of the second.
Wish I could give more info. Thanks for the app and your hard work, in any case.

Thank you for this software.
I have written a post praising it, and why it rules. http://andykashyap.wordpress.com/2009/10/07/justlooking-a-windows-picture-and-fax-viewer-for-os-x/
Once again, Justlooking gave me what I was looking for.

still no user defined keys :(
Posted By: NetRoach Jun 26, 2010 19:43:03
i just gave JustLooking 3.3.3 a try again...
but since last try and my comment, it is still not possible to define own keyboard shortcuts.
cmd- and cmd+ is horrible on macbook keyboard, not useable for fast zoom-in and -out.
cmd1-cmd4 in my osx configuration is reserved for fast screen-switching.
so i will stay with Xee, i like some features of JustLooking, but usability matters.

Custom slide show delay (or longer than 30 seconds)
Posted By: Mark Jul 29, 2010 22:25:47
I want to display a slide show that changes every 10 minutes, if you can put a "other" field to enter a custom number of seconds for each image in slide show or extend the bar to 10 minutes or longer that would be great. Xee has that feature, but their slide transition is abrupt not "fade". Also if you had a "super slow" on the fade that would be great, like 10 seconds. So I don't notice the transition in my peripheral vision but eventually it's a new picture. I'm trying to dedicate a display as a "digital picture frame" but don't want to be distracted by the photos constantly changing, yet do want it to change every now and then.
Thanks, I've been using this a lot for annotating photos because I can shift between a text editor and this while switching to next photo all with keyboard commands.

Custom Slide Display
Posted By: marcwan Aug 02, 2010 09:30:05
If you're feeling adventurous, you could actually get a ten minute delay in teh current version of JustLooking by going and manually editing ~/Library/Preferences/com.chipmunkninja.JustLooking.plist … Just change the "SlideShowDelay" to 600 (seconds) and you'll be good!

A very nice viewer!
Posted By: :MArC-OH Nov 29, 2010 22:19:04
I'm using it since 2 years ago and i like it very much: speed, semplicity.
Just few comments: on the Exif data, the shutter speed has a decimal representation instead of having the fractional photographic representation (at least for shutter speed below 0.5"). Would be nice to have a representation like that!
Another nice feature would be enabling the copy/paste keyboard commands in the file renaming dialog.
Another very nice feature would be having the interactivity with the Bamboo tablets (like Preview) where you can boost the touch controls to manage the viewer (iPhone like).
Programming this feature is something that is time comsuming, but would be nice!
Many thanks for the nice job done on this product that, at the end, is free!

Thanks for this app. It annoys me no end that I can't just open an image in Preview and then navigate through the rest of the files in the folder. Having to pre-select them is ridiculous.
The one feature I'd like to see in JustLooking is being able to delete images during a slideshow - so pressing delete would move the current image to the trash, as happens with Phoenix Slides.

The reason why i stop using JustLooking
Posted By: Kevin Jun 21, 2011 19:18:23
It has been my fav image viewer since i bought a mac but i will stop using it because its soooooo slow on loading big image files! and very bugyy ...
So if the development of 4.0 still in progress ( i think its not) that will be an asome upgrade.
