Free Outlook Add on For Photographers

I will confess that as much as I dislike Microsoft I really do like Outlook. It syncs with my BlackBerry, with Google Calendar and it does a serviceable job with IMAP email accounts.

Me and Outlook, we go way back. All the way back to Office 97. It was very much a love hate relationship back [...]

We are all software pirates.

Well, we are if you listen to what the Business Software Alliance is saying about illegal software usage in the world from this article. Here is the important part to me:

“We know, for instance, that new PCs going to consumers in the U.S. generally have eight pieces of software, four of which are free like [...]

An open letter of sorts

First, some commentary. I am a one trick pony in my businesses in terms of software. I know what I like, I have what I like and I fairly well know why I don’t like the things that I have passed on. This space is mine to say what I want (within reason it seems) [...]

Workflow Software…Yet Again

One topic that simply won’t die? This would be it. All of the questions are kind of like this:
“If I don’t want to use ExpressDigital software what else is available?”
I covered this topic about 4 months ago and am going to post this as a link to it. It isn’t a review of anything, it [...]

Fuji S5 & PhotoL_ynx Software

This was posted as a comment by Michael Stephens from PhotoL_ynx about the upcoming Fuji S5 and the PL software. Thought it deserved it’s own spot.

Move this to where you feel appropriate….
Today at SPAC (School Photographers Association of California), I met with the guys from Fuji. Particularly, Darren Pepple, who has been in the forefront [...]

Keeping Track of PDF’s

And Word files and spreadsheets and every other type of document. It used to be a real problem for me. Before desktop search applications came along I had a very complicated system in place for filing documents away. Folders inside of folders inside of folders. For the effort that I put in to filing documents [...]

Color Management

Every week I get at least five phone calls or emails that all ask the same question. Why don’t my prints from you match my monitor? Every one of them is a very time consuming conversation because there isn’t a simple answer. Volumes as thick as a dictionary are written on the subject, but the [...]

idImager Lite Version

I gave idImager a look several years ago when I trying to decide on a move from ACDSee 4. I don't use a photo browser for many tasks, but the ones that I use I really do need. For sorting and rating images as well as assigning keywords for searching and editing IPTC info I [...]

It’s real alright

This is the link to IWS SEC filing relating to the sale.
Just to save you the detail work, PL paid $400,000 to IWS for all PDI software. $400,000? Seems to me like a fire sale price. $25,000 down and $50,000 yearly (minimum) until paid in full. Seems like a can’t miss for PL.
One interesting note [...]

Imageware Software Purchased by Photol_ynx?

Sorry about spelling PhotoL ynx with the space. WordPress sees that as a PHP command (l ynx) and won’t let the post publish. Security concerns.
Another edit: It is true. On the front page of the their website. I can’t link to it here for “security reasons”, but it’s easy enough to figure out.
If you are [...]
