Perfect B&W is a brand new product that includes powerful and intuitive tools that give photographers instant results and complete creative control to replicate time-honored black and white processing techniques. With Perfect B&W, photographers can add dramatic, elegant and classic monochromatic looks to their images, and create the many moods black and white photography can evoke — resulting in beautiful and provocative imagery. Here are some of the key benefits of Perfect B&W:
Includes Search-Friendly Library of Expertly-Crafted Presets: Dramatic, romantic, elegant, vintage and classic looks may all be achieved in a single click with the more than 100 black and white presets included in Perfect B&W. Find the preset you want to use quickly with visual thumbnails in the browser or with the built-in keyword search. Tag your favorites for easy future access.
Real-Time Previews: Explore the look of different presets on your image in a browser that can be expanded to show more detail or click a preset to see it on your image on a full-screen before you apply it.
Essential Adjustment Brushes: Precisely dodge and burn, add contrast and detail, and apply selective color with a set of powerful brushes designed specifically for black and white image processing. Control how much and where you want to apply your effect with simple brush strokes. Wacom® tablet users can control brush size and strength using built-in pen pressure and sensitivity support.
Perfect Brush: Paint inside the lines with precision using the NEW edge-detecting Perfect Brush! Whether you’re painting in effects, detail, contrast, highlights or selective color, the Perfect Brush will apply adjustments smoothly to the specific area you’re working on while automatically recognizing the edges around it.
Blending Modes: Use Blending Modes to blend your black & white image with your original to achieve a unique hand-painted or grungy contrast look. Choose from a selection of 30 modes to change the brightness, contrast, and color of your image and dramatically alter its appearance.
Toner Presets: Imply mood, add depth and create striking contrast within your images using the Toner Presets in Perfect B&W. Select from a collection of toners including the popular copper, cyanotype, selenium, sepia and more—or build your own.
Filter Presets: Get the effect of photographic filters after the shot. Use built-in color filter presets to enhance contrast in your images and adjust the relative brightness of the details you care about, whether it’s the sky, foliage, or people.
Tone Curve: Optimize the balance of tone and contrast in your image with the Tone Curve. Adjust your shadows, mid-tones and highlights to create the exact look you want.
Film Grain: Add the timeless look and feel of vintage film stock using our library of authentic film grain. Choose from a selection of carefully crafted film types that integrate realistic grain onto your images.
Borders, Edges and Vignettes: Accentuate your images with flexible vignettes and authentic film & darkroom edge effects of sloppy borders and print edges.
Supports Any Workflow: Integrate Perfect B&W seamlessly into your workflow no matter what tools and software you use. It works as a plug-in to Adobe® Photoshop®, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom® or Apple® Aperture® where you can send your images directly into Perfect B&W, make your adjustments, then get them right back to your photo editing workflow. You can also use Perfect B&W as a standalone application all by itself.

Site Grinder Web Design Tool
There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.
Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.
Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
