ArtRage For iPads - Actually “Paints” On Your iPad - Blends Digital Watercolor
October 28, 2010
ArtRage for iPad lets you become a digital artist on your iPad, providing the experience of actually “painting” digitally on an iPad canvas with oil painting effects that smear and blend and watercolor strokes that merge to create soft, wet gradations, just as they would in a traditional art studio.
The iPad user interface allows artists of all levels to bring their iPad everywhere they go to be ready to spontaneously unleash their creativity on the spot by drawing, sketching, and painting on the iPad in a wide range of artistic styles with tools that interact on the screen just as they would with real paint, ink, chalk, pen, or pencil.
Priced at only $6.99, ArtRage for iPad is the perfect holiday stocking stuffer gift for a budding artist delving into mobile art with the iPad. “Once you experience ArtRage, you cannot live without it anymore,” said Sarah Brody, Principal, Sarah Brody Design. “Now I will never miss an opportunity to express myself artistically with my iPad with ArtRage installed on it. With ArtRage, you can almost smell the paint and feel the paper’s texture.” Barbara Lietzow, San Francisco-based painter and visual communications expert said, “The quality of paint representation and ArtRage’s ability to perfectly replicate impasto is uniquely realistic. ArtRage on the iPad allows me to work both in the studio and on the go to further explore new sculptural painting techniques.”
Files from ArtRage for iPad can also be used on the desktop versions of ArtRage for Mac and Windows, and exported to JPEG, Photoshop and other formats for additional professional features, printing, and collaboration. In addition, digital photos can be imported and converted into paint, reworked in oil or watercolor or serve as a reference image while drawing. With its image tracing capabilities for photos, ArtRage can select colors automatically for every new stroke.

Exclusive onOne Software 15% Instant Discount Coupon
Enter our exclusive discount coupon code - PSSPPT06 - during checkout at onOne Software for an instant 15% discount on any onOne product. This includes Perfect Photo Suite.
Perfect Photo Suite 5.5 includes full versions of the following products:
Perfect Resize 7 – the next generation of Genuine Fractals – Based on the same patented algorithms of Genuine Fractals, the newest version of the industry standard for image resizing introduces new Smoothness and Sharpening controls to achieve the highest quality results when enlarging images. In addition, Perfect Resize adds features that make printing easier and faster including the new Loupe Tool for an instant 1:1 magnified preview. The upgrade also adds the ability to save custom Presets, a new Gallery Wrap preview with Auto Corner Fill, and Image Tiling improvements. Perfect Resize 7 now enables those who prefer a Lightroom or Aperture only workflow to resize a single or batch of images directly within those applications.
Perfect Layers 1 (New) – The newest product in the onOne Software line-up provides a fast and easy way to bring a layered workflow to Photoshop Lightroom and Apple Aperture. For those using a Lightroom or Aperture workflow, but not yet using Photoshop, Perfect Layers introduces the ability to create and edit multi-layered Photoshop files. With Perfect Layers photographers can combine multiple images into a layered Photoshop compatible file, adjust layer size, position, blending mode and opacity and use the built-in layer masks and masking tools to blend multiple layers together. Perfect Layers will be made available at no cost to current owners of Plug-in Suite 5 as a free upgrade to Perfect Photo Suite 5.5.
PhotoTools 2.6 – PhotoTools 2.6 adds a dozen new effects to the highly acclaimed Photoshop plug-in that allows photographers of all skill levels to maximize the full power of Photoshop with its ability to preview and combine Photoshop Actions in a single, intuitive interface. Designed by photographers for photographers, PhotoTools 2.6 now includes the Masking Bug control, based on the Focus Bug control from the award-winning FocalPoint plug-in, to selectively apply effects to images. PhotoTools 2.6 now has a total library of close to 300 effects that photographers can easily browse, preview and combine to create images that truly stand out.
PhotoFrame 4.6 – With PhotoFrame 4.6, you can add the perfect finishing touch to your images and layouts with new backgrounds, layouts and adornments. With over one thousand design elements like film edges, borders, textures, backgrounds and adornments, PhotoFrame 4.6 even has complete layouts where users can simply drop an image in and they are done. It is the easiest and fastest way to add an authentic darkroom touch with a film edge or to create beautiful albums or scrapbook pages. Photographers can now use PhotoFrame 4.6 directly within Lightroom and Aperture.
FocalPoint 2 – Like bringing the camera lens inside Photoshop, FocalPoint 2 gives photographers the best way to add the most realistic depth of field and selective focus control to any image after it is photographed. Photographers now have an incredible amount of flexibility and control over the look of the blur with FocalPoint 2's new blur algorithm, FocusBrush, Lens Presets and multiple FocusBug features. Photographers can now use FocalPoint 2 directly within Lightroom and Aperture.
PhotoTune 3 – Getting great color doesn't have to be so hard. PhotoTune 3 uses a patented technology to optimize the dynamic range, color and sharpness of images so that they look more true-to-life. The improved Wizard offers fast color and tone correction in as little as two steps while giving pro users direct access to advanced and innovative controls. SkinTune, which represents two years of research and analysis of thousands of skin tones, now offers one-click color correction of portraits and the option to correct just the skin in an image. Photographers can now use PhotoTune 3 directly within Lightroom and Aperture.
MaskPro 4.1 – For those times when you need to extract a subject from a photo, Mask Pro 4 uses a color-based method that allows users to easily remove unwanted backgrounds from your photos. Mask Pro's unique Color Decontamination technology allows users to get realistic results by maintaining transparency in hard to mask objects like hair, smoke and glass in a fraction of the time using traditional tools.
The new Perfect Photo Suite 5.5 will be available in December 2010 to owners of Plug-In Suite 5 as a free upgrade at no additional cost and to new users for $499.95.

onOne Software Announces Perfect Resize For
Adobe Photoshop And Photoshop Lightroom
October 28, 2010
onOne today announced Perfect Resize, one component of the Perfect Photo Suite 5.5 for Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Lightroom, that was also announced today. The next generation of Genuine Fractals technology, Perfect Resize adds new features for achieving sharp detail when enlarging images, new gallery wrap and tiling options, and interface enhancements for photographers who want to make the highest quality prints. Perfect Resize supports Photoshop CS5, CS4, CS3 and CS2 and can now be used directly from within Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Apple Aperture without the need for a separate host application.
New Features in Perfect Resize, the next generation of Genuine Fractals
NEW Smoothness Control: Designed for the demanding photographer, the new Smoothness control allows users to adjust the smoothness of curved edges to minimize artifacts. This new feature is very useful when resizing images and is especially valuable when working with lower resolution source files or when an extreme crop is required from a higher resolution source file.
NEW Loupe Tool: With the new Loupe feature, photographers can get an instant 1:1 or 100% magnified preview of enlargement quality while still seeing the entire image with the Loupe function of the Navigator.
Exclusive onOne Software 15% Instant Discount Coupon
Enter our exclusive discount coupon code - PSSPPT06 - during checkout at onOne Software for an instant 15% discount on any onOne product. This includes Perfect Photo Suite.
NEW Presets: Photographers can now achieve consistent results in less time by saving commonly used settings with the new Presets feature. Photographers who routinely send images to labs will benefit by creating a preset that allows them to resize the image, apply a specific sharpening amount and apply a gallery wrap all in one step. Stock photographers who need to resize batches of images before submitting them will also benefit from this new feature as well.
NEW Sharpening Methods: Two new sharpening methods allow photographers to sharpen small details without causing halos on larger, distinct edges. The first sharpening method targets out-of-focus images and the second method adapts the sharpening amount automatically to the size of image details.
Work Directly with Lightroom and Aperture: Perfect Resize has improved integration with Photoshop Lightroom and Apple Aperture and no longer requires a host application to get amazing results when enlarging an image. Of course, it still works within Adobe Photoshop as well.
Improved Gallery Wrap: Photographers can now be preview the Perfect Resize gallery wrap results in real time. This allows users to quickly fine tune their settings for the perfect gallery wrap. Additionally, gallery wrap corners are automatically filled in with matching image detail from the surrounding area. While it may not sound like much, the improvements to this feature alone will save photographers hours of time when assembling their gallery wrap.
Improved Tiling: The Tiling feature now automatically saves each tile as new file instead of individual layers in a single file. This makes it much easier to save and print individual tiles especially if you send these tiles out to a print service provider. Additionally, because each tile is its own file, you can easily create canvas diptychs, triptychs or mosaics with and the improved gallery wrap feature.
Batch Processing Enhancements: Easily work with images of mixed size, type and orientation with more batch-processing engine options. Save time by batch processing images from the Export dialog inside of Lightroom.
Misc Improvements: Additional enhancements include presets for common printer resolutions, improved progress indicators, improved film grain simulation, the ability to arbitrarily rotate the crop box and a faster, smoother image previewing experience.
Perfect Resize will be available in early December as a standalone product and as a part of the new Perfect Photo Suite 5.5. Owners of Genuine Fractals 6 or earlier can upgrade to Perfect Resize for $99.95 or to the Perfect Photo Suite 5.5 for $349.95. Owners of Plug-In Suite 5 are eligible for a free upgrade to Perfect Photo Suite 5.5, which includes Perfect Resize 7.
Users who purchase Genuine Fractals 6 on or after September 27, 2010 will receive a free upgrade to Perfect Resize 7 when it ships in early December 2010.
Owners of Plug-In Suite 1, 2, 3 or 4 can upgrade to the Perfect Photo Suite for $199.95. Perfect Photo Suite 5.5 is available to new customers for $499.95; purchased separately the 7 products would normally cost $1460.

onOne Software Introduces Perfect Layers For
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom And Apple Aperture
October 28, 2010
onOne today introduced Perfect Layers, a new addition to the Perfect Photo Suite 5.5, also announced today. Perfect Layers gives photographers the ability to easily create and work with layered files in their workflow application of choice and to bring those files directly into Photoshop. Perfect Layers supports the creation of layered files that can be opened and edited by Adobe Photoshop software and can be used directly from within Adobe Photoshop Lightroom software, Adobe Bridge and Apple Aperture.
"The ability to use layers in Lightroom is one of the most important developments around Lightroom since it first shipped," said Scott Kelby, Editor-in-Chief of Photoshop User magazine. "This takes Lightroom's workflow efficiency to a whole new level. The impact Perfect Layers is going to have on photographers using Lightroom makes it a game changer! This is going to be the must-have plug-in for Lightroom."
Exclusive onOne Software 15% Instant Discount Coupon
Enter our exclusive discount coupon code - PSSPPT06 - during checkout at onOne Software for an instant 15% discount on any onOne product. This includes Perfect Photo Suite.
Top Features in Perfect Layers
Create Layered Files: Create, open or merge and work with layered Photoshop files with Perfect Layers. Using Perfect Layers customers can merge two or more exposures of the same scene into a single image or even create a montage or album page layout. The files created by Perfect Layers can be opened by Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements for additional editing if desired.
Adjust Layers: The streamlined interface in Perfect Layers contains all the controls needed to size, align, reorder and rotate layers. A number of useful blending modes offer the ability to dramatically alter images by changing the brightness, altering the color or even creating special effects. All the adjustments can be easily modified.
Blend Layers: Control how much of each layer is visible by using the masking tools created originally for PhotoTools 2.6 and FocalPoint 2. Similar to using a layer mask, the Masking Brush can be used to reveal or hide selected areas of a layer. Users can quickly create vignettes or graduated filers by using round or square gradients available with the intuitive Masking Bug control. The masking tools are non-destructive and can even be re-edited with Photoshop.
Perfect Layers will be available as a free public preview by the end of 2010 and will be available in early 2011 as a standalone product for $159.95 and as part of the Perfect Photo Suite 5.5. Owners of Plug-In Suite 5 can upgrade to Perfect Photo Suite 5.5, which will include Perfect Layers, at no additional cost.

From Vectortuts+ — Quick Tip: Illustrator to Photoshop:
There may be times when you want to open an Illustrator file in Photoshop. Perhaps you want to add some raster effects to it, or incorporate the vector file into a Photoshop composite.

Lightroom 3 Keyboard Shortcuts - Lightroom Keyboard Shortcuts Plugin - Free Lightroom Shortcuts PDF - Complete Shortcuts Chart
October 11, 2010
From Photographer's Toolbox: Keyboard Tamer is a plugin for Lightroom 3 that allows you to redefine most of Lightroom's keyboard shortcuts, and to create new shortcuts for functions that don't yet have them. This plugin will be invaluable for those who wish to streamline their workflow and make Lightroom work for them. It's also a must for those who use Lightroom in a language that's different to the expected one for their keyboard layout.
For example, those who run Lightroom in English on a machine with a non-U.S. keyboard will normally find that many of the shortcuts are inaccessible - with this plugin they can be redefined. This is a donationware plugin. The trial version will only allow you to change one keyboard shortcut, and donating will remove this restriction.
From Adobe: Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 Keyboard shortcuts (online help - complete Lightroom keyboard shortcut chart)
From Victoria Bampton: Adobe Lightroom 3 Keyboard Shortcuts - Free Download — I'm just finishing reformatting as Letter size, but in the meantime, here's all of the shortcuts direct from the book: Adobe Lightroom 3 Keyboard Shortcuts

Photoshop Elements 9: The Missing Manual from O'Reilly Media - Free Sample Chapters
October 09, 2010
Elements 9 offers much of Photoshop's power without the huge price tag. It's an ideal tool for most image-editing buffs—including scrapbookers, photographers, and aspiring graphic artists. But Elements still doesn't come with a decent manual. Photoshop Elements 9: The Missing Manual (O'Reilly Media, $44.99 USD), will help you get the most out of the program, from the basics to advanced tips for both Windows and Mac.
Free Sample Chapters
Adding Layer Styles, Shapes, and Actions
Adding your online finds to Elements 9 is a good news/bad news situation: It’s easy
to add Layer styles, shapes, and actions (see page 434 for more about using actions in
Elements), but if you want to categorize them or have them show up in your Content
panel searches, you’re in for a trip through some pretty techie territory.
To add your extras, just put them into the following folders and, the next time you
launch Elements, they’ll show up in the Show All section of the relevant palette:
The Organizer,
Menu by Menu
This appendix gives you a quick tour of the main menus in the Organizer—the ones listed at the top of the screen. The Organizer has two main views: Media Browser and Date view. Both offer the same menu choices—everything listed here is available in either view. Keyboard shortcuts and buttons in the Organizer windows give you access to many of these menu items. When you have two ways to run a command, both are mentioned here.
The Editor, Menu by Menu
The Editor’s menus are far more complex than the Organizer’s menus. All three of the Editor’s modes—Full Edit, Quick Fix, and Guided Edit—have the same menus, although some choices are grayed out when you’re in Quick Fix or Guided Edit mode. When you need a menu item that’s not available in Quick Fix or Guided Edit, just switch back to Full Edit to use it.
