The Best Picture Dock I've EVER Seen


I seriously hate to download software to my computer. Unless it's an AIR based one, I'm trying to avoid the hassle. Why? Because I'm almost sure we can find all the tools that we need, online. However, after I watch the Ginipic Demo, I just had to download it and boy, what a wonderful software it is!

You can spend your time watching the Demo, or you can click download now, because frankly the video shows only little from what it really is.

Israeli-based Ginipic, is a desktop application that enables you to search multiple image search engines, and photo sharing sites, and use the pictures in a drag & drop to your workspace, whether it's on the web or on your desktop.

Once you download Ginipic, you'll be able to search photos from the best sources on the web. You can search over 10 sources (including your own stock) simultaneously. You get all the results and all the flavors in one simple go:

When you find the picture you like, you can easily share it to all the social networks out there, or simply copy-paste a link, or an HTML code to embed in your blog or site. You can also download the picture to your computer, save as favorite, or tag it.

It is most amazing to see the compatibility of Ginipic to services like: Photoshop, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Paint, OpenOffice, etc., and all you really need to do is to drag & drop the desirable picture to any of these workspaces. Imagine that you won't need to upload the picture from your own computer anymore. You just search, find, then drag & drop.

The only obstacle is that you need to also download Microsoft .NET Framework to be able to display Ginpic (that is if you don't have it already), but I can honestly tell you that if you're a designer, or someone that build presentations regularly, you'd want and need this client.



I set the Dock to auto-hide mode and I'm telling you, this baby stays on my computer.

It is truly amazing.

I use it mainly for handling pictures on my computer and this is truly the best solution tool I've seen.

WOW!
Thanks for the recommendation - it's excellent.
It's great that they display the license for the photos it's available for - I wish there was some standard there they could work with.
Oh, and a wish feature (which I'm sure is already being developed) - I would like an option to specify to browse only through my own photos in each of the sources.
Orli - thanks again for sharing;
Ginipic team - way to go!

Great Software!

One [foolish?] question about using the graphics/ pictures/ photo on blogs/ websites or even for presentations. Isn't it violating any copyrights of the found picture? If the owner of the pictures claims about the copyright and use whom should to be contacted?

Netwala,

Just as with photos found on other places (like search engines), the user is responsible for checking if the photo is copyrighted, and if it is, he/she must contact the owner and ask his permission to use it commercially. For personal use, like making a presentation for school, I don't think any permission is needed...

The only feature I miss is access to filers, in particular for image dimensions; otherwise, excellent.

Not impressed stalled on me during the first run of the software. Moreover, it lacks advanced options, all the results are filtered.
