Piclens viewer

 

Full screen photo slideshows? What's the big deal? A lot of graphics programs allow you to view full screen slide shows. What sets PicLens apart is that it displays online photo collections from sites like Flickr, Google Images, Yahoo Images, Facebook, Friendster, Picasa Albums and others in a slick full screen viewer. It is a free web browser plugin which is available for Firefox and Safari. To use it is super easy. On a supporting web site, mouse over a photo and click on the play button and the full image smoothly appears on the screen. You can click the play button to automatically display the images or you can manually play view the images. Unfortunately there is no way of downloading an image via PicLens. However, you can click a button along the top on the left hand side to take you to the images page where you could then download the image or print the image.

Enabling your photo site to support PicLens requires adding a Media RSS feed. The instructions are fairly straight forward. So if you like viewing photos online, this is a very easy and elegant method of doing so.
