Product Description:

Jade is a JPEG viewer based on the Independent JPEG Group's library of JPEG compression and decompression routines. It's main purpose is to fill the gap in Macintosh JPEG viewers which can view full sized JPEG images while maintaining reasonable memory and speed requirements. It was also made to be useful as a helper application in Netscape or any other web browser application that supports helpers.

In addition to having more images open at once, Jade can also view JPEG images at their full size; all you really need is the disk space.

Jade is also fast at JPEG decompression. Jade offers various display modes which alow you to tradeoff image quality for speed. The only exception I've found is when color quantization is used (when the monitor can only display 256 colors or less). But when it's not used it really flies; especially on a Powermac.

am using Jade under 10.1.1 now, and while it seldom crashes at launch any more, it now displays a big ugly white stripe at the top during slide shows. Anyone know how to stop this?

1.2 dropped into my DOCK on Os 10.1.1. It runs, as it always has over the years, quickly, providing easy access to files as singles or batches or with its simple but effective slideshows. I use Jade both to preview files, taking notes about later processing and to enjoy old batches of pics. Does anyone know how to make a Jade slideshow transportable, that is so it will work on a CD?

I say "fault tolerant," I mean of JPEG markers, types, etc. JADE will open more JPEGs than any other viewer I've seen. There are actually subtle differences between one JPEG and the next, depending on which app compressed and wrote the file, and how. JADE is very lax about opening files that some viewers insist are "corrupted." As for stability, I've used it on all 5 power macs I've owned, from system 7.6 to 9.0.4 and it's always been rock solid for me.
