Introduction
Welcome to JustLooking, an image viewing program for Mac OS X. JustLooking is designed to be used instead of the “Preview” application on your computer for browsing most image file formats. In particular, it has the following differences:
- It focuses on files and directories instead of lists of files. Thus, once you load a file, you can easily navigate through all other files in the same directory.
- It displays images at their native resolution instead of interpreting DPI information stored in the image meta-data. While images are printed at the maximum resolution possible, on screen they are displayed pixel-by-pixel.
- Being designed more for viewing of Images, it properly shows animated GIF files.
- The entire program can easily be manipulated and powered by simple keystrokes for a quick and pleasant viewing experience.
- There is support for printing, image resizing, saving to a few key image formats, and displaying of all image info.
Version 3.2 contains translations for English, Catalan, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Slovenian, Polish, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, German, Finnish, and Swedish. It does not contain translations for Norwegian, Russian, or Traditional Chinese.
Requirements and Installation
Running JustLooking is quite simple, and the only requirements are:
- Mac OS X 10.4 or greater (both Tiger and Leopard work fine)
- 256MB RAM
- 7 MB free disk space
JustLooking is installed on any new machine by simply dragging it into the Applications folder.
Credits
JustLooking was designed, written, and partially localised (French, Italian, German, Spanish, and some Chinese) by Marc Wandschneider here in Beijing over a couple of casual months. I sat down to write it as a replacement for Preview, as I found the latter to rarely operate in a way that I wanted it to. I tend to keep directories full of images, whether they be traveling, family, or junk I collect from the Intarwebs.
Finder and Preview rarely let me select and view more than a couple hundred of images at a time, and I have large numbers of folders with more files than that.

Help us Out
Speak a language that isn’t in the list of currently localised languages? See some mistakes in the current translation for a particular language? If you’d like to help or offer corrections, I’d love the help. The more languages, the better!!
I’d love to hear if users have any suggestions. Feel free to contact me with any features you’d like to see!
I like your application, it's very nice and well designed.
However, for my uses there's a few features I can't live without that you don't offer yet. Could you please consider adding ...
- A way to rename the photos from within the application. Yes, I know I can "reveal image", then rename the file, then come back to JustLooking, but that's a lot of work when you have 100+ files to review.
- I need to be able to see the total number of images in the directory I'm browsing, and where I am when viewing a certain photo - for example "(photo title) 37/102"
- Support for PICT would also be appreciated
Thank you for considering my requests!
But can i set Justlooking to startup in fullscreen mode, without jumping to slideshow mode, so that the image will remain on screen until i press the key for the next image?
Thanks!
2. set display timeout in slide show (preferences) to "Manual".
Ta-daaaa!!!!!
Thanx a lot for this incredibly simple and good app that beats most of its costy competitors.
Actually, my 75 year old mother is using it without a problem, but she'd like to find a Crop feature as simple as what is built in her Nikon L18, and I can't believe it, but noone has ever made an app that way: cropping based on what you see!
You get what I mean? Simply zooming in and moving around until you see what you want and pressing the button Crop (without bothering about pixel numbers or proportions - basically it would be the same proportion as the original).
Thanx anyway, and may the light be with you! :-)

Other than that thanks for this great program!
