I am a huge fan of Yellow Mug’s Filechute ($18) to share larger files through MobileMe (or any other server). But this online file hosting service allows you to upload your files for free (up to 5 GB). Just send the the recipient a link where your stuff can be downloaded. Fast and easy to use.
Alternatively you could use YouSendIt, or Apple’s own iDisk solution, but both gave me headaches in the past.
I mentioned Klix before, but this article gives a nice overview of other photo recovering utilities. For future reference, just in case…
I have no immediate use for this, but it looks like a very useful and well designed app.
Whether you are a professional artist, photographer, blogger or just want your family photos to look better, you’ll like ImageFramer.
Check out the introductory screencasts here.
Cameras (free) is an intelligent preference pane, which guides your cameras, media readers, and iPhones to their correct application.
Do you have multiple cameras? Do you spend time quitting iPhoto every time you connect your iPhone? Wish you could have your DSLR open Aperture and have iPhoto launch when you connect your point-and-shoot camera? If so, Cameras is the solution you’ve been waiting for.
Shape Collage (free) turns a collection of photos into a collage of practically any shape. I can think of a project or two with pictures of Laura.
You’ve probably made a few photo collages in your lifetime, whether you laid out photos with the perfect amount of messy randomness in a photo album or magnetized a grouping on your fridge. But in the digital world, there’s not a lot out there that lets Mac users do the deed easily. I’ve painstakingly used Photoshop, Pages, and even iWeb to create collages, but nothing compares to the quickness and ease of Shape Collage.
Check out the screen cast to see how it works.

True, F13-F19 have never been touched on my watch. Set them free for $5.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t know what to do with the F5-F6 and F13-F19 keys on my keyboard. They do perform functions in certain applications, but for most part they’re lying around unused. This is the large wide aluminium keyboard I’m talking about which came with the iMac (not the new narrow one). Lucky me when I found this gem of a utility, One Key from Everyday Software.

Let’s hope I’ll never need this.
Accidentally delete, reformat or have a corrupt camera media card? Klix is digital picture recovery software and can recover lost digital pictures after deletion, reformatting or corruption. Works with all USB or FireWire cameras and recovers all common image and video formats.
You can always try the free Exif Untrasher first, before coughing up $30 for Klix.
Why is this not build in OS X? Very handy.
Do you like the media browser that Apple includes in some of its applications, but wish you could use it from any application? Now you can. Download the free Karelia iMedia Browser and use it whenever and wherever you need to access your library of photos, music, videos, and bookmarks.
I use and like Steel ($9) from Gravity, but this looks like a nice (free) alternative.
Licensed offers a place to put [your software licenses], and because it does nothing else, it does it very well. Every effort was taken to make entering details as quick and painless as possible. After all, software licenses aren’t really something you should spend much time worrying about.
