Sat, 02 Jun 2007 17:18:21 -0400

This post is sponsored by PortraitProfessional - makers of “intelligent portrait airbrushing software that has been ‘trained’ in human beauty.” I was able to download a trial version of the software and took a quick look through. My review below covers the features of PortraitProfessional, as well as some of the pros and cons of the software.

Corner Compilation #3

Wed, 23 May 2007 21:27:30 -0400

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m finally to the point where I can start catching up on photography industry news. Some of this news dates back over 2 months, but better late than never, eh? I’ll try not to cram too much into each Corner Compilation post, so expect about 10-12 “bits of news” in each compilation. Hopefully I’ll be all caught up in a matter of weeks (cross your fingers). Enjoy the news (mostly Delkin and Lowepro this time around, but trust me, there’s a lot more coming)!

Corner Compilation #2

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 10:38:38 -0500

Here’s another round of interesting/essential photography-related news.

Corner Compilation #1

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 10:48:32 -0500

There is a lot of news in the world of photography. When I started this blog, I subscribed to as many newsletters, rss feeds, press release sources, industry news, blogs, etc. as I could, so that, if it was happening in the photography industry, I would know about it and could, therefore, pass along all the good stuff to you. A month and a half later, I have 2,698 items sitting in my rss feed reader, which makes me about 2+ weeks behind on the news. Now, if I wanted to catch up, you’d end up having 25 posts a day for the next 3 days (assuming I spent all day posting on the blog, of course), and no one wants that - You don’t want to have to read 75 posts in three days any more than I want to write that many.

Interview with Graeme Frost of Grasshopper Limited (ImageAlign™)

ImageAlign™ is the Premiere Sponsor of our 2006 Photograph of the Year contest, and if you haven’t had a chance to check out the software, make sure you drop by and try the free trial.

Press Release: Nikon Introduces All-New Capture NX Software

Thu, 25 Jan 2007 09:52:03 -0500

Last year, Nikon announced the release of their new image processing and editing software, Capture NX. It claims to be a “powerful and intuitive new software [that] simplifies workflow while reducing the time and effort required to edit and process images.” From what I’ve seen of Capture NX, it is a pretty big improvement over their previous software Nikon Capture 4. If you’re somewhat computer literate, (even if you barely know how to submit your site to a photography directory), it’s easy and intuitive enough to figure out - especially if you have some experience in a program like Photoshop. Obviously the software is only good for those of us that own a Nikon camera (sorry Canon/Olympus/Fuji/Pentax/Other owners), and there are no plans to expand the software to work with other RAW formats (as far as I’ve heard).
