This software allows for the manipulation, editing, and enhancement of digital images with a range of tools and effects.
symTone is a unique digital image manipulation application that utilizes two standard USB mice for interacting with images. Its carbon GUI allows for easy file selection using the standard system cursor. However, symTone's custom image manipulation GUI uses two additional mice and cursors for more advanced editing.
To use symTone, you will need to plug in two 3-button USB mice, preferably with a middle scroll wheel. These should be in addition to another pointing device, such as a touchpad or another mouse. When using symTone, you will be prompted to select which mouse you will be using with your right hand and which mouse you will be using with your left hand. These mice are then seized for input directed specifically to the symTone application, and your additional device controls the rest of your Mac desktop.
SymTone is a symmetric application, meaning that both hands contribute equally to image manipulation. The mouse buttons on each mouse are assigned in a reflective symmetry across your body. This means that pressing the left button on the right mouse with your right index finger is the same as pressing the right button on the left mouse with your left index finger. The middle or scroll wheel buttons on each mouse are called the middle buttons, while the buttons under the ring fingers are called the outer buttons, and the buttons under the index fingers are called the inner buttons.
Overall, symTone offers a unique and innovative approach to image manipulation, with its use of multiple USB mice and custom image manipulation GUI. While it requires some adjustment at first, symTone can greatly enhance your image editing capabilities.
