Graphics designers or anybody else who has to spend a large amount of time downloading

images from the net, will love this. It’s a tool that can download pre-selected pictures embedded and linked throughout a site and then output them to your hard disk. You can then grab them from a directory or view them as part of a slideshow.You can also queue several sites’ worth of content for sequential download in the background while you do other tasks on your Mac.

3D software can be high-end and boasting powerful output of remarkable content, but requiring

a degree devoted to the learning of the application. Or there’s the inexpensive software aimed at the casual user, which generally lacks too many features to be remotely useful. We’ve included a full version of a 3D app that boasts outstanding features as well as ease of use. Realsoft 3D adopts an open modular approach enabling you to add features without the extra cost.

Welcome to the second issue of your new-look MacFormat disc. This issue we’ve pulled

out all the stops to jam as much great content as possible onto your disc. If, like me, you’re disorganised when it comes to workload, you’ll be pleased to hear that we have a full software-based remedy for your problem.

Fanurio is a tool designed to assist in any freelance work undertaken. It lets you manage all sub-tasks through the creation of projects. Everything from contract creation and client contacts to projects items and expenses. My

favourite feature is a mini view that provides quick access to a timer so that you can count the time spent on tasks.

But, Fanurio’s just one of three full products that have previously sold for real cash and we’re crazily giving them away for free. Also, feel free to browse the rest of the disc for more great stuff. If you get stuck there’s a step by step on the opposite page, or you can always request help on the MacFormat forum at http://forum.macformat.co.uk/.

Welcome to the discIssue 209

Each issue, Disc Editor Simon Holland selects a fantastic array of software, from games to shareware, for you to enjoy on your Mac.
