1.6.0

New logo

PhotoInsight name is tightly related to photo and image handling.
Without changing the application name, this new logo slightly suggests the new 3D capabiility of this new release.

3D files support

Preview, organize and find your 3D files with PhotoInsight. Enjoy the same capability with 3D files as for image files (keywords, author, caption, geocoding, rating…)

Specific 3D metadata are displayed in the details panel (diffuese colors, faces count, vertices count, materials and textures …)
The real time preview lets you:

• Manually rotate the object
• Manually rotate the light rig (ALT+Click)
• Configure many rendering parameters (lighting, background, blooming, wireframe …)
• Automatically rotate the object (turntable)
• Thumbnail rendering settings and preview rendering settings are independent

Drag & Drop

Send your files, 2D or 3D in any other application that supports drag and drop
