Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / July 2005Need something to replace Lemke Graphic Converter, PC format
My company is removing all the MAC's from the network. I use the slide show in GC to sort images into different folders. I need a PC app that can to that as well, I've not found anything... > My company is removing all the MAC's from the network. > I use the slide show in GC to sort images into different folders. > > I need a PC app that can to that as well, I've not found anything... Why come to this newsgroup? If you can't change your employer, I guess there must be a PC-dedicated newsgroup or two that would have the answer you want. Heartfelt commiserations.

You can't convince your employer that there's a business case for keeping one machine so you can do your job? I should think it would be the responsibility of the person/group driving the change to come up with the _complete_ replacement system rather than just throwing new hardware at the users and instructing them to cope. FWIW, GraphicConverter was the tractor that brought the first Mac into my office because we couldn't find a more efficient or more effective tool. We bought an $800 machine as a dongle for a $35 app because there was no worthwhile Windows solution anywhere near that total price point for our needs.

I'd have thught that Photoshop would be able to do this sort of thing. Pricey like borscht, but companies gladly buy these type of apps in order to maintain conformity...

Thing is it was literally half the speed on a more expensive machine. I'm honestly not sure now if, at the time, a machine on which PhotoShop could keep up with GC on that iMac was available. For the task we needed to perform, of course. That's always the gotcha. I wouldn't begin to suggest that such performance disparity was the general case.

GC is a very straightforward one for the tasks it does.

It is just that the OP was concerned about doing his job, and from what I've seen Corporate World would rather buy a 50k$ program than back off on a declaration and admit they may have erred. Even if a free-ware program (or as close to free as you can get without swearing) is better, faster, cheaper, and more user oriented.... So I was trying to help the guy find a solution that kept him employed with the same Company, is all. If he chooses to vote with his shoe leather, so be it. But that would be his choice, not mine.

Doesn't iView MediaPro now come in a PC version? It's well-regarded in the Mac world. > "there's a dance or two in the old dame yet." - mehitabel Totally off-topic but Don Marquis was born on this day in 1878. :) > > "there's a dance or two in the old dame yet." - mehitabel > > Totally off-topic but Don Marquis was born on this day in 1878. :) Thank you, Mad!
