Mat on Macs

Here’s a quick tip for my fellow bloggers. I find that I often have to slightly manipulate my images (often screenshots) before posting them in the blog, and I generally do this with the marvelous little freeware program ImageWell. This means I generally need to start ImageWell, and then either drop the image into it or go through the File -> Open menu. Well it just dawned on me that I could save a step by putting ImageWell directly in my Finder toolbar (I actually use Pathfinder, but same difference). Now I need only drag and drop the image file on the ImageWell icon, and it opens with the image loaded ready for editing. Of course the principle applies to any program you can drag and drop to, so I use the same idea with the cool AppZapper software deinstaller.
