Things you might want to know…

1. The brave among you might want to know that a final release candidate ( geekspeak for somewhere between Beta and Final release) of Lightroom 2.0 is now available. Lightroom 2.1 is supposed to address issues with performance and cataloguing ( ie no cool new features. Think of it as an engine tune-up. It needed one!). You can download it here.
2. Those of you who shoot portraits and have major issues with skin tones and complexions might want to check out this piece of software. By all accounts, it does a pretty remarkable job!
3. You saw it here first… I had a chat with Brad Malcolm at Athentech in Calgary last week. He was off to Photokina to demonstrate Perfectly Clear this week. Apparently we can expect to see a live version later this year (and yes, a Mac version is coming). He sent me down this screenshot. He is really interested in knowing what you think of it and how he might improve it. You might want to also chip in your pet hates and loves about the software you use and what could make it better (interface-wise). How often do you ever get the chance to have a say in the design of a piece of software? O BTW, The images (butterflies) are placeholders, not actual images.
4. Users of Proshow ( Gold or Producer) will be interested to know that version 3.5 is now out. Amongst other things, it supports writing to Blu-Ray. Now I have a reason for that 96″ HD TV…
5. Nikon users (both of you) will be positively slavering over the thought of a medium-format Nikon digital camera with a 48 x 48mm sensor. If the rumours are true...
6. Lastly, if you thought the convergence between moving image and still image was a bad dream, then you need to read this and this.
