Re: Display bigger version of a photo on a tooltip

[Gary Rechtin <garyrobert triad rr com>]

Hi All,

Finally up and running on Linux, after 5 different distro install
attempts.  It was always something, but running good now.

Just switched from Windows (XP & Vista), to Mac OSX (Tiger and Leopard),
and now to Linux (Ubuntu).  In windows, I ran Adobe Elements 6.0.  Their
latest version corrects red eye automatically when transferring pics
from a camera or card reader, and it barely slows down to do so.  You
can also do it at the click of a button in the editor, or fix a group of
photos with one click.  Not sure how they do it, but guess the point is
that they are.  A lot of the other commercial photo packs do as well,
and even a few of the free ones.

So from me perspective, this would be a nice enhancement.

Kind regards.

Gary R.
