Discount PhotoShow Deluxe

I bought this program thinking I could make nice slideshows with transitions and effects to play on my dvd player (vcd). Unfortunately transitions and effects don't work when you make a video cd, when you go to broderbund help page they tell you that's how it's supposed to be. If I had known that I would not have gotten this program. I gave it two stars because I suppose if you're just using it to make e-mails or cd-roms it would work all right.Get more detail about PhotoShow Deluxe.

Buying Corel Photo Album 6 Starter Edition

Somewhere amongst a 60 day trial of the deluxe edition is a very crippled and lame version of photo album 6. The windows built in utility is miles better and faster.

THIS IS A POOR ATTEMPT BY AMAZON TO SELL US TRIAL WARE. I am very unhappy with this purchase. I will watch for this trick a little closer in the future.Get more detail about Corel Photo Album 6 Starter Edition.

Buy Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 with Scrapper's Guide [Old Version]

I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 for its easy interface and compatibility with Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0, the video editing software. Photoshop 4.0 has a great cataloguing system that allows for easy tracking and sorting of videos and photos. This feature is particularly flexible because it allows you to create your own ways of identifying and grouping photos and videos which are easily cross-referenced and retrievable. The Scrapper's Guide was an unexpected bonus because it's got a video tutorial which goes much further than a manual can alone in teaching techniques. The Scrapper's Guide teaches the basics that you need to know for any Photoshop project -- not just scrapbooking. It's more fun to watch a demonstration than it is just to read about it in my opinion. Minor drawback: Photoshop 4.0's customizing email function for sharing photos is not compatible with all email address books. I still have lots to learn about this software, but overall I think it was a wise and worthy purchase.Get more detail about Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 with Scrapper's Guide [Old Version].

Purchase Nacho Libre Comic Book Creator

This lame program is completely limiting. You can not even type in your own text. You are supposed to use the few quotes they want you to use. It is not at all user friendly either. I am so sorry I purchased this.Get more detail about Nacho Libre Comic Book Creator.

Order Shake 3

Shake has been used on so many feature films - including the last six Academy Award winners for Best Visual Effects - and is required courseware at so many major film schools worldwide, that listing its credits would require several pages.

Superior workflow
Shake 3 uses an intuitive, tree-based compositing model that gives artists access to any part of the composite at any time. This flexible, nonlinear workflow allows users to make critical creative and technical decisions at any point in the compositing process.

Unique effects technology
Shake 3 includes-production proven visual effects tools such as layering, tracking, rotoscoping, painting and color correction. Built-in keying capabilities include Photron's Primatte and CFC's Keylight, two industry-leading professional keyers. For additional flexibility, Shake supports third-party plug-ins such as The Foundry, GenArts, Ultimatte and more.

Powerful compositing engine
The resolution-independent, hybrid scan line/tile-based render engine allows composites to contain standard-definition (SD), high-definition (HD) and film images simultaneously. Artists can choose to process operations at 8-, 16-, or 32-bit (float) color resolution, enabling HDR images to be composited with greater fidelity while maintaining overall performance.

Here is a list of movies that shake was used in:
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
X2
Matrix Revolution
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers-Gollum

Ice Age
Anna and the King
Fight Club
The Prince of Egypt

Here are some quotes from industries best composite companies:

Gray Matter. Shake compositing software created striking visual effects in "Fight Club."

R!OT. Providing full-service digital production for film, television and interactive projects.

Oddworld Inhabitants. "Shake allows us to run numerous processes on large numbers of high quality graphic images."Get more detail about Shake 3.

Where To Buy Bibble Lite 4.9 (Win/Mac/Linux)

Two star rating is a fair assessment. Beware those thinking about purchasing, the Using Bibble guide that is included with the CD is very restricted in providing information on its main functions.

For example, the Understanding Section under Advanced Image Editing,has 10 " understandings" covered over 4 pages in approximately 1800 words. Just take one of these,Highlight Recovery, two paragraphs (120 words).

Ben Longs, Getting Started with Camera Raw, his "Highlight Recovery" 4 pages 6 coloured examples, and 2000 words.

Bibble is confusing, particularly in the layout and panel section, additionally it devotes considerable (excessive)space to batch and queue processing.

I've assessed the software, and I believe, prospective purchasers should download the 30 day trial. I cannot recommend $90 version.

Adobes'Photoshop Elements 6 wins by a mile...

To those "professionals" out there, you're right, I haven't given a full assessment to the software, that would require another text book of "what's wrong". Just beware when thinking about investing $90.Get more detail about Bibble Lite 4.9 (Win/Mac/Linux).

X-Rite Color Checker - Semi-Gloss

I work as a Professional photographer and the Gretag Macbeth Color Checker Chart is the industry standard. You can understand I was upset when this IN STOCK item not only took 2 weeks to arive, but was NOT Gretag Macbeth. It was an Xrite version, and as such did NOT include the CD-Rom as stated in the listing. Amazon did fix the problem.Get more detail about X-Rite Color Checker - Semi-Gloss.

onOne Genuine Fractals - 1U Review

I've owned this product in its infancy many years ago. It's unique at what it does, enlarge original graphics without loss of quality. It couldn't be easier to use since it's a plugin for Adobe graphic editors like Photoshop & Photoshop Elements. It has changed the way I shoot my photographs because cropping is no longer a concern. In fact I use Genuine Fractals before starting my edits to end up with a cropped photo the same resolution as an out of camera original. Great stuff & great vendor! Five stars all the way.Get more detail about onOne Genuine Fractals - 1U.

DVD Picture Show-Imaging Suite Top Quality

Everthing sounded great on the package but...

Timing the background music was ridiculous. I used the built in timing mechanism for the program (based on the length of the music and the duration of the slides) then previewed my work...it was all off. So I manually timed the music to the slides. That took forever because you can't jump ahead to different parts of the slide show, you have to go through the whole show each time. Plus, it was rarely the same twice. Sometimes the music ended on one picture, the next time it ended one or two pictures earlier or later, etc. etc. When I FINALLY got it worked out and just the way I wanted it (after hours and hours of trying), I triumphantly burned my show to a DVD. Guess what? When I played back the DVD, the music was completely off and I had to go back again two or three times to try and fix it and burn the DVD again. I went through several DVDs before it was finally right.

I looked online and through all the documentation. Nowhere was this problem addressed. I've got another slideshow to do, but I'm buying another program. My Ulead Picture show is going in the virtual trash.Get more detail about DVD Picture Show-Imaging Suite.

Pocket Informant 2005 is the latest edition of this popular personal information management software. Track schedules, tasks, contacts, and record notes and then review it all in one of several different styles. The built-in software that typically comes with a pocket PC doesn't come close to the functionality of PI. Also, it syncs seamlessly with Outlook and backs up the information that way, too.

I've been using the Adobe programs for quite some time, but the company continues to amaze me by coming out with new and improved software almost like clockwork. If you know what you're doing, Adobe Primere, Photoshop, Aftereffects, and every ohter program they put their good name on are for you! Even though the interface can be a little intimidating at first, you will feel right at home with the controls and menus after you break it in a little. I know when I first started I couldn't even figure out how to close the program, but after a few times I was capturing, editing, encoding, and effectively using every piece of magic that comes in that small box.Get more detail about Adobe Digital Video Collection 6.0 Pro [Old Version].

ACDSee 1.6 Buy Now

Actually, I don't know what problem(s) the above user (A software user from Manhattan Beach, CA USA) is talking about on the OS X installation issue. ACDSee 1.6 does install and operate under OS X and does not revert in any way.

That having been said, it is without a doubt the worst application of its kind available today. The UI is horrendous and will make you need glasses if you don't already. Also it lacks many features of its Windows counterpart, which is actually quite good. The bottomline is that I think ACD Systems wanted to claim cross-platform compatability, but this product makes them look like fools.

Do not buy it under any circumstances!Get more detail about ACDSee 1.6.

Adobe Publishing Collection 11.0 [Old Version] Right now

Over the last several years I have had experience with Corel Draw, Photo Paint, & Ventura. I have also slugged it out with Paint Shop Pro 3.x,4.x,5.x &7.x, and Photoshop LE.

I tried the rest, but was driven to the best. The Adobe Publishing Collection does it all. Photoshop is the standard. Paint Shop Pro is a marvel for the Price, but Photoshop's interface is the clear winner if you are working with large numbers of images. So, too, the filters run immesurably faster in Photo Shop. On my machine, the Salt & Pepper filter in Paint Shop Pro takes 4,5,6 minuets in a large file (28 meg). In Photoshop (even LE), the filter runs in less than a minute.

Then there is PageMaker. This is the only way to do lay out. Working in layers, it is even possible to print your file as "text only" for proofing. Linked images work flawlessly. The commands and tools are simple and intuitive. Ventura is a nightmare by comparison....don't try it one without a manual. PageMaker also writes clean HTML and PDF files that may be all you need.

Still, Acrobat works tightly with MS-Word, Excel, etc. It even installs itself on the Word toolbar, ready to dump your Word Doc into a PDF file. I write my own HTML, converting lots of long doccuments. Often, an Acrobat file is just as efficient, preserves layout, and gives ultimate control. I have the feeling I might be writting less and less HTML code.

Illustrator? I have limited experience here, but am told my someone I trust that its capabilities are at least as great as Draw, and Draw is good.....this one, I am told, may be too close to call, but we are talking a "collection" here, with four great programs made greater by their collective strength.

Finally, the Publishing Collection is the real deal from Adobe. $600.00 for PhotoShop, $500.00 for PageMaker, $250.00 for Acrobat, $400.00 for Illustrator. Or-----buy the Publishing Collection and get them all for $999.00 or there abouts. The collection is the only way to fly!

If you are into digital photography, web publishing & print, or combinations of all of the above, it is a superb, cost efficient way to go.Get more detail about Adobe Publishing Collection 11.0 [Old Version].
