![]() Some of these tools may already be on your computer. In this post, we’ll introduce some of the best Mac apps for designers that we use daily to enhance our productivity. Apple ecosystem and macOS environment offers a wide variety of apps and tools that can ease anyones workflow, but especially designers can enhance their toolkit with many useful apps. It’s even better than Stephen said it was.As a designer, having the right set of tools can make all the difference when it comes to efficiency and productivity. So ImageOptim gives you the best of both worlds: a nice app for optimizing images through the GUI and a command-line tool for doing the same thing in scripts and macros. When the optimized screenshot is done uploading and its URL is on the clipboard, the macro plays the Glass sound to alert me that I can paste the URL wherever I need it. n(, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL) Optimizer = '/Applications/ImageOptim.app/Contents/MacOS/ImageOptim'Īnd it’s run via the subprocess library in Line 87, python: The full path to the executable is given in Line 20, python: The only thing that’s different now is the use of ImageOptim. How this script uses Pashua, screencapture, and scp are described in an older post. The Python script in Step 1 is this: python:ġ3: dstring = date.today().strftime('%Y%m%d')ġ6: localdir = os.environ + "/Pictures/Screenshots"ġ7: tf, tfname = tempfile.mkstemp(suffix='.'+type, dir=localdir)Ģ0: optimizer = '/Applications/ImageOptim.app/Contents/MacOS/ImageOptim'ĥ4: # Capture a portion of the screen and save it to a temporary file.ĥ5: status = n()ĥ7: # Exit if the user canceled the screencapture.Ħ3: # Open the dialog box and get the input.ħ0: # Add a desktop background border if asked for.ħ3: # Make a solid-colored background bigger than the screenshot.ħ4: snapsize = tuple()ħ5: bg = Image.new('RGBA', snapsize, bgcolor)ħ6: bg.alpha_composite(snap, dest= (border, border))ħ9: # Rename the temporary file using today's date (yyyymmdd) and theĨ2: fname = f''Ĩ7: n(, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL)ĩ0: n()ĩ2: # Generate the URL of the uploaded image. My screenshot-and-upload macro, SnapSCP, looks like this: I just ran a few tests, and OptiPNG seems to be running fine on my Macs now, but I’m sticking with ImageOptim.) (I used to use OptiPNG for this, but at some point a couple of years ago it started running very slowly, and the delay was disrupting even the slow pace of my writing. Which means that my Keyboard Maestro macro for taking screenshots and uploading them to the blog’s server can reduce their file size during the process. This is all very well and good, but I wouldn’t think as highly of ImageOptim if it weren’t for one very useful feature: it can be run as a command line program. You’ll note that I don’t have my images run through Zopfli or PNGOUT, as these programs run slower than the others, and I don’t think the extra time is worth slight extra reduction in file size. The image file is overwritten with that optimized version and you’re told how much smaller the file became. The given image is run through each of the checked programs appropriate for its file type, and the one that provides the smallest file is selected. You can see and choose the programs in either the Preferences or the Tools menu. Generally, I get 25–40% smaller files after running them through ImageOptim.įundamentally, ImageOptim is a front end for a set of open source image optimization programs. And it can do this for PNGs, which is the format I use for the screenshots I post here. ![]() what ImageOptim really excels at is reducing the file size without changing the image quality. I’m sure you already know that a JPEG’s file size can be reduced by lowering its “quality.” ImageOptim can do this kind of optimization, but so can lots of apps. What ImageOptim leaves you with is an image that takes up less space on your disk it doesn’t take up less space on your screen. It doesn’t resize an image in the sense of changing its width or height in pixels. 1 One of Stephen’s picks is ImageOptim (discussion starts at 1:00:50), an app I use all the time but haven’t talked about here.Īs suggested by its name, ImageOptim optimizes images by reducing their file size. As usual, this one has a good mix of apps that are new to me and those I already know about. Yesterday, I listened to the most recent Mac Power Users episode, “20 Mac Apps Under $20.” Although MPU is probably best known for its deep dive episodes, I always like these more rapid-fire discussions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We were all against Yaldabaoth, the snake-demon with the head of a lion, the blind god who fashioned this false reality out of his own darkness. And in culture, a kind of secular Gnosticism that briefly conquered the world. No real ideological program, just a firm belief that more things ought to be on fire. In politics, the fetishism of revolt: black blocs, culture jamming, an angry but incoherent anti-authoritarianism. If the only thing left to do is buy some cool stuff, then refusing to buy cool stuff becomes the only form of resistance left. What filled the gap was not thought, exactly, but a vague transcendental mood. Philosophy was happy to just skim across the brightly colored surface of capitalist society. Hermeneutics were out, we no longer needed a distinction between essence and appearance, and Marx and Freud were creatures of the nineteenth century, helpless before the future. Any kind of depth metaphor had become deeply untrendy. Shouldn’t there be something else? Usually, the job of articulating a something else goes to the intellectuals, but the intellectuals were no longer interested. The whole of history, cave paintings, stark pyramids in the desert, the bloody struggle for freedom on every continent-it had all just been one big conveyor belt, built solely to deposit us in front of the United Colors of Benetton. “The peak of your civilization.” All the great battles had been won and all the big questions were now settled. History was over the world had settled into its final form: society as one giant mall, a consumer utopia built on limitless credit. The dying years of the twentieth century were the best time there’s ever been to see through the bullshit of society. The red pill/blue pill metaphor has survived the last two decades, which should be strange: the choice it describes no longer exists. ![]() |
