Allow to copy the current selection as a PICT (to extract one image) |
The Selection Tool (Marquee) has been enhanced: the current selection can be changed: just click inside and drag it. The current selection can still be dragged on the Desktop with the Command modifier key depressed.
A new menu Selection has been added with new commands to set the selection size or set a fixed aspect ratio, predefined or custom. Predefined aspect ratios are:
The aspect ratio of the selection can be inverted, e.g. 4 : 3 to 3 : 4, with the Option modifier key depressed while dragging the marquee tool at any time during the selection.
And minor changes:
Finally Goldberg is a ColorSync savvy application. The embedded ICC profile found in image is used when displaying or printing. A Color Settings command in Edit menu has been added to change the default behavior with ICC profile and ColorSync. The sRGB profile is automatically used as the default profile when a jpg file with an EXIF tag (image produced by a digital camera) has no embedded profile.
| Mac OS | QuickTime |
|---|---|
| Mac OS 8.6 all Mac OS 9 releases Classic Environment |
QuickTime 4.x, 5.x or 6 |
| under Mac OS 8.6 with some minor limitations |
CarbonLib 1.4 or later is recommended when QuickTime 5.0 is installed |
| We recommand Mac OS 9.2 with CarbonLib 1.6 and QuickTime 6.0.3 |
|
The Carbon version doesn't run under Mac OS X 10, see Goldber X 2.5 for more details.
For better performance under Mac OS 8.6 and all Mac OS 9 releases, we recommend to use the Carbon version with the latest CarbonLib version (version 1.6 or later) and QuickTime 5 or 6.
Under Mac OS 8.6 and 9.x
If you experience crashes while saving JPEG files under OS 9.2 with CarbonLib 1.4 and QuickTime 6, the update to CarbonLib 1.6 will resolve the problem. Thanks to Jules for reporting this incompatibility.
For some countries, except the USA, mainly European, the '+' and/or '-' characters are placed above a digit. In this case please read the next paragraph.
To use the keyboard shortcuts for Zoom-In and Zoom-Out commands (Command "+" and Command "-") press the + or - key of the keypad. The + and - keys of the main part of the keyboard doesn't work because these keyboard shortcuts are reserved by Apple as function keys also known as FKeys. (See Apple Help: "Taking pictures of your screen"). Note: Under old System Software Cmd-Shift-1 ejected the floppy disk.
