Why take off on Micro-Art

Nobody asked. The Micro-Art guy doesn’t need any bad publicity, he is only trying to make a go for himself, right?
Well, let me tell you something. In the first place this blog only sees about 125 hits a day. That’s small beans in terms of anything I say having any kind of impact on him [...]

Photoreflect Publisher for Mac

Yes, it does exist and no, it doesn’t work very well.
Some time ago (around OS 10.1 if memory serves me right) ExpressDigital released Photoreflect Publisher for OS X. I got really excited at first. I had begun buying PC’s at the lab some time before this. Kodak killed KPIS and rolled out this pig called [...]

The ExpressDigital killer?

There has been some discussion going around about Micro-Art and even a few people claiming that it will be the ExpressDigital killer. I have looked in to this myself as a customer at the lab is looking at it and he wanted my opinion of it. Here it is for all to see. Please keep [...]

Exposure Manager – Still a lot of errors

On Percentages – Exposure Manager vs. Photoreflect.

OK, I assumed way too much. I AM the manager of BB Color, Inc. This part Donovan knows from previous discussion. We ARE a Labtricity partner lab. I don’t know if Donovan knew that or not. I am not the owner, an owner or anything more than just an employee of the company. I certainly [...]

Exposure Manager Comparison Chart Corrections

Because he is an approachable kind of guy, I contacted Donovan Janus the owner of Exposure Manager after Mike Brice posted several false claims about differences in services between Exposure Manager and Photoreflect in the Photoreflect User Group. I pointed out a total of 14 places where the chart that ExpMan uses to compare services [...]

Kodak DP1 – Now that I have seen it.

One word. 13 letters. FORGETABOUTIT!
DP2 is one of the most intense applications that I have ever used. Imagine trying to run your printer or your scanner with a spreadsheet. If you have never seen it before, download the DP1 trial from Kodak.com and have a look. There is no clear interface. Everything is a database [...]
