FreeRuler is, uh, free.

Here's the I Use This link for PostCard. I just submitted it to this site today:

Skitch has definitely broken the mold where it comes to Apple's UI guidelines, and yet I don't seem to mind. My greatest feature request is a default setting for the cursor so I can stop undoing accidental drawing on my images.

I upload a lot of screenprints to mySkitch so that they don't clutter up my Flickr photostream, especially since I've set no downloading for anyone on Flickr. Skitch's webspace comes in handy for those few images I do want the public to have access to the original sized image.

It's a handy resizer and image converter, too, and it is now my default Quick Add Drop Shadow application, superceding ImageWell. I can not say enough nice things about Skitch.

@adidas... I don't think Skitch was ever meant to be a bulk uploader to Flickr. plasq should continue to keep things simple. Flickr's got an Organizr for tags and titles.

At first I didn't really get it, but skitch has totally changed my life. If you work on any kind of web development, you need this tool!

p.s. give it a chance, you get used to the whacky UI.

I love Skitch!!! It is so useful. After reading about it from Lifehacker.com, you will not be able to go one day without using it. Each and every day, I use it. Whether I need a simple screen shot or just need to put some simple text on a photo. Also, it lets you upload super fast.

Skitch is recommended.

This is one of the greatest apps! I LOVE IT! Nothing more to say... :-)

An interface even quirkier than ImageWell's, but with added instability. If they stopped it crashing, and gave it a standard interface (stop bloody resizing yourself—that's my decision!), and gave it away without you having to fill in your personal details, &c...but until then, I'm sticking with ImageWell.

I agree with the consensus. Skitch has overshadowed this app with its simplicity and fun. Version 3 of ImageWell made things more complex. I used to use it mainly for quick drop shadows, and the new version dropped the "Add drop shadow" from the menu and made it a manual process.

When I voiced my displeasure about this to the developer, the answer was NSFW, to say the least. Version 3 also did more than add features to the paid version. It took features away from the free version.

I keep version 2 on hand as a "just in case" application.

I have this installed on my hard drive as a mere backup app.

The app I REALLY love to use for my Flickr uploads (and more) is Adriaan Tijsseling's 1001. He really knows his stuff, and he deserves every penny you can donate!

I REALLY like this application! It's easy to order photos. I arrange all my photos last on the top to the first on the bottom. 1001 consistently uploads them in order so that on Flickr the first photo of a series (last to upload) ends up on the top of my Flickr page. I've uploaded as many as 52 photos at once, and not a hiccough!

It's also a cool app for keeping an eye on photos from contacts, Explore, groups, etc. Adrian deserves your donation for this!!

I'll add my voice to the chorus. Fastest registration I've ever done. Simple to learn, but it will take a lifetime to master!

Good, solid entertainment! Versatile as well. Best solitaire on Mac OS X!!

I've never needed to compile this app. If there is a more advanced version, yes, I'd like to see it too. But this version is challenging as it is.

I'm still using the old free version of Textpander. RapidoWrite works only in Cocoa apps, and it gets in the way with hinted expansions because it seems to prefer abbreviations begin with uppercase letters. I can not find any preference settings for such issues.

There's definitely potential here, but the app has got to work everywhere and it has to stop getting in the way.

PicLens HAS been updated for Safari 3. I love this app. It enables me to see full-screen images... even when the Flickr member has not allowed the "All sizes"/downloading privileges.

@dreamcore: iirc, the greased lightbox script isn't as nice, eg: it doesn't fade in/out, doesn't show thumbnails in an autohide banner at the bottom.

Where can it get such a good definition to browse flickr full screen (1440×900) when the photo you see on the web page is quite small (500×333)?
I tried zooming from 500 to 1440 with the lanczos algorithm but couldn't get such a nice quality...

Actually it doesn't seem to always get the highest quality available, check this photo for instance: with piclens at 1440×900, the image is quite blurred when compared to the 853×1280 original.
(Make a screen capture as png to compare more easily. Then check the water drops.)

The delay between photos is a bit short, it would be nice if it could be adjusted.

Version 1.6 and the download link are for PicLens for Firefox .
Piclens for Safari is here: http://osx.iusethis.com/app/piclensforsafari.

However, comments here relate to Piclens for Safari, there's some cleaning to be done... :)
