You gotta read this!

Today I learned two bits of news about Firefox, both having to do with viewing pictures.

First, I learned from Judy Howle that there is a Firefox plugin called Piclens. It lets you view images and video fullscreen, you can scroll and choose among them in "3D" (not really). The video shows what it can do.

(Thanks also to Judy for pointing out the Katrin Eismann chapter on printing, now in the links.)

The other thing is that Firefox 3 (not previous versions) can now let you view images with richer color. This is done by installing a plugin (and a tweak) that gives Firefox control over color profiles. This article explains how it's done.

Together, these two things add up to nothing less than the dawn of a new age. Your life will be changed forever. You'll always be in a good mood. Food will taste better. And you might even create an online gallery.
