TextEdit Decorates your Font

Posted by webmaster digg delicious su


Be sure not to miss up this feature: TextEdit Font Editor. Oh, don't worry, it's already there inside TextEdit, so you don't need to do any extra download.

Let's see what is it..

I made it all only with Font Editor and Colors Editor of TextEdit. Surprising? (I hope so, but the fact is not)

In short, with TextEdit, it's possible to have our favorite font colorful, shadowy and clean. Maybe we can call this thing mini-photoshop text-styler, oh such a long name.. and the style can be copied and pasted to another text. Later I'll tell you, one by one, okay?

Flip Image in Terminal Way

Posted by webmaster digg delicious su


Terminal can help you perfectly flip your image either you want to flip it horizontally or vertically. Of course, you can flip diagonally also, by flipping horizontally after the image flipped vertically.

What benefit me by doing this..

You can save a lot of time and Mac memory while performing this image manipulation. It's just a line of code so you don't need to spend much time to write the code for flipping image. And you don't need to open image editing Application that, of course, eat up a lot of memory of your Mac, all you need is only Terminal (including your keyboard and a little skill).
