Having enjoyed a few canicule to reflect on the aberration (and nap), we’ve accumulated a abstract of some of the appearance highlights afore casual out our new Envy Awards to the best absorbing accessories we saw.
AT SNEAK PEAK | Aback to Contents
Bags. The Teton holster we saw at the M-Rock (http://www.m-rock.com) table has a ample abundant aperture to board a vertical grip. It additionally came with a acclimate anorak and a bungie band on the basal to grab a anorak or a ablaze tripod. And two straps so you can abrasion it over your accept or absorbed to a haversack or on your chest. It alike includes a lens bolt for aloof $60.

Dfine With U Point. Nik Software (http://www.niksoftware.com) was assuming the aboriginal appliance of its U Point technology alfresco Nikon’s Abduction NX. It has revamped Dfine, its babble abridgement software, appliance the advocate appearance interface.
Wireless USB. It’s coming. In the abutting bearing of cameras that abutment USB. In the abutting bearing of laptops. In the abutting bearing of any accent with USB support, that USB will be Wireless USB. Artimi (http://www.artimi.com) develops wireless semiconductors for USB electronics. At their table, they had a digicam retrofitted with Wireless USB and a USB dongle acquainted into a laptop. They took some shots and wirelessly transmitted them to the laptop and again printed them on a printer with Wireless USB.
Image Trends. Angel Trends (http://www.imagetrendsinc.com) appear two new applications (of a bulk about to be released) priced at $49.95 each.

The photoGPS is triggered by the beam arresting in the hot shoe and food the abstracts (latitude, longitude, altitude, etc.) for anniversary attempt in its centralized memory. With the included NXP swGPS software, the GPS abstracts downloaded via USB is alloyed with the angel data.

AT DIGITALFOCUS | Aback to Contents
PanDigital Frames. PanDigital (http://www.pandigital.net) distinguishes itself from its abounding agenda anatomy competitors by actuality the aboriginal to use an MP3 amateur chipset rather than a DVD amateur chipset in its frames. This makes angel transfers to its ample centralized beam anamnesis fast, for one, but about improves achievement and connectivity. PanDigital President Dean Finnegan told us the aggregation awash 520,000 frames in the aftermost division of 2006, 70 percent of the buyers changeable and they bought 1.8 frames, advancing aback for a added anatomy afterwards the contentment of experiencing the first. The aggregation is adorable avant-garde to afterlight the chipset in June with some agitative new options like Wireless B/G connectivity, a lithium-ion battery, a timer for axis the anatomy on and off at approved intervals and abutment for added certificate formats so you can abundance recipes in the centralized memory, accompany it into the kitchen and baker with it.
PhotoLab. Noromis (http://www.noromis.com) afresh alien its $49.95 PhotoLab Windows appliance to import, enhance and book agenda photos, which can “intelligently and automatically acclimatize for exposure, contrast, blush balance, saturation, sharpness, booze and agenda noise.” The aggregation spent a lot of time developing the program’s angel assay adequacy but it additionally spent a lot of time on account and the user interface. It absolutely chic up a analysis allowance with video cameras to almanac user’s faces and the screens they were adorable at.
Muvee. Addition allotment of software that bent our absorption was muveeNow (http://www.muvee.com). The Singapore-based company’s beforehand muvee alms is anchored in some Nikon Coolpix models and in some kiosks as well. The new adaptation is a standalone Windows appliance that, they aggregation said, makes it a three-step action to actualize a video presentation from stills or video. Step One is to baddest the images or video clips you appetite to use. Step Two is to aces the MP3 music book you appetite to use and the arrangement for the production. A cardinal of templates abode with the artefact and added are attainable online at an added charge. Step Three is to comedy the production.
Microtek. We had a adventitious to accommodated with Microtek’s Parker Plaisted to altercate the abode of the long-awaited M1 scanner (http://www.microtek.com). They’ve absolutely captivated up the accouterments ancillary of it but are still alive with addition abutting on the software. We asked him about the i900 ample blur scanning affair area some bawdiness was appear in our forums. He anticipation it was best acceptable a apathy affair with the blur but accepted he wasn’t accustomed with it. He was accustomed with LaserSoft’s new SilverFast 6.5, which, he confirmed, badly improves the activating ambit of scanners it runs on. LaserSoft tests adumbrated two exposures were acceptable to abduction highlight and adumbration detail independently, amalgamation the two like Photoshop’s HDR architecture to enhance activating range.
IDC PRESENTATIONS | Aback to Contents
Last year, he said, sales of camphones topped 508 actor units while agenda cameras hit 105 and agenda camcorders fell aloof abbreviate of 13. The numbers will admission this year, he predicted, with multimedia handsets responding to the accretion admiration to upload video. Those sets will affection two to 5-Mp sensors with DVD affection video and be able to anon upload stills and video with rich-media browsing and geo-tagging befuddled in. They’re decidedly adorable because they’re the “king of connectivity,” accouterment seamless admission while ambuscade the complication of it all from the user. Something digicams accept yet to do.
While about bisected of all digicam and camphone users both booty video with their devices, camphone users abduction 5.0 clips a ages compared to digicam users at aloof 2.7. But that’s area the acceptable account stops for handsets. They’re still abundantly aloof one or 2-Mp units with cogent bang lag and no flash.
DxO, we note, has a band-aid for some of those problems with software autofocus that can focus as abutting as six inches, uses no ability and is instant. The blackmail to digicams is video capture. It’s the abutting big thing, he said. He additionally acclaimed that 85 percent of U.S. shipments are activity to echo barter as dSLRs activate to cannibalize the high-end segment.
So the catechism is whether digicams can be aggressive with camphone connectivity while advancement their bend in angel quality.
Home Printing. Ron Glaz took a attending at agenda photofinishing in the home. Today 56 percent of prints are fabricated at home with 39 percent fabricated by retail outlets and 5 percent online. He expects retail to do about 54 percent by 2010 at the amount of home printing, he said, alike admitting home columnist continues to allure new vendors.
Kodak, for example, has aloof alien its multi-function inkjet band featuring aerial quality, affluence of use and lower ink costs. But he suspects the aggregation won’t be able to adapt affairs behavior. At the point of acquirement the chump will acquisition it adamantine to absolve spending $50 added for a Kodak aback ink is aloof $10 beneath a armament and they use aloof one a year — a bristles year amplitude to acknowledgment the antecedent investment. By which time, he observed, the assemblage will no agnosticism be overshadowed by new technology.
Zink, too, has been apathetic by the home printer bug. The aggregation bought the rights to Polaroid thermal blush cardboard technology that can aftermath a 2×3 inch book for 20 cents. A amount that is not absolutely aggressive yet.
The 4×6 printer is adorable because of its book affection and direct-connect convenience. It’s usually bought as a array or allowance (particularly for Christmas, graduation and Mother’s/Father’s Day). And the beggarly amount is $149. Price, however, is not the best important agency influencing purchase. That accolade goes to affection (4.43 on a calibration of 1 to 5), followed by a absolute camera affiliation (3.96), again amount (3.59) and anamnesis aperture (3.39).
The absolute aqueduct to home photo columnist growth, he suggested, was that photos are confined in the claimed computer. The industry needs a atramentous box to absolution them, an eShoebox, that anybody can set up and admission at any time, which additionally backs itself up. Windows Home Server has the appropriate idea, but is too restrictive. Afterwards all, he observed, the added images are seen, the added prints will be made.
Q&A. In the catechism and acknowledgment aeon following, a brace of absorbing observations were added to the presentation:
ON THE SHOW FLOOR | Aback to Contents
Zigview S2 & Twin1. Argraph (http://www.argraph.com) demoed the $499.95 Zigview S2, a miniature video camera that slides assimilate your dSLR’s eyepiece to accommodate a 2.5-inch articulate LCD adviser (with 230K pixels) with a alive appearance of your subject. The aggregation additionally sells an bittersweet wireless bang absolution alleged the Twin1 awash in two configurations. If your camera has a congenital sensor, you can aloof buy the $34.95 transmitter. Otherwise, you can buy the transmitter with a receiver as an $89.95 set. Because it has two sensors in the avant-garde of its ample disc and one in the rear, you can activate the bang from any angle. Ambit is up to 60 anxiety and a cable is included to use it as a active bang release.
Hall of Fame. But for absolutely abandoned alien operation, you can’t exhausted the International Photography Hall of Fame berth (http://www.iphf.org) area no one was in attendance. Operated by the Authentic Art and Science Foundation in the Oklahoma City, it’s “dedicated to apprenticeship and canning of authentic prints and equipment” with a mission account “to advance acquaintance and apprenticeship of the history of photography.” Its alluringly illustrated Fall 16-page annual included accessories on Adolf Fassbender (the Dean of Pictorialism), Earnest Haas, D.A. Black, a history of the CCD and agenda cameras and a allotment on stereographs, amid added items. Membership in alignment starting at $20 for acceptance and $35 for bald mortals.
SeeFile. SeeFile (http://www.seefile.com) showed the third bearing of its $499 Web-based book administration software for OS X that allows burning sharing, comment and sales afterwards appointment files or advancement casework with a hosted service. The artefact is decidedly ill-fitted to pro photographers who appetite to accept complete ascendancy of their online sales. Unlike hosted providers, SeeFile runs locally so you can aloof archetype your ample angel files to a bounded adamantine disk. Thumbnails and watermarked previews, added HTML affectation that makes them attainable via a Web browser to anyone, are automatically generated. SeeFile provides side-by-side comparisons, onscreen annotations and color-coded collections for anniversary user. Athentech’s Altogether Clear (http://athentech.com) technology is additionally included to automatically and instantly optimizes the lighting for anniversary and every pixel while advancement authentic blush and aught clipping. At the aforementioned time, it automatically corrects white antithesis and restores achromatic colors. For a final touch, Altogether Clear uses patented medical imaging technology to accommodate photographs with optimal adverse and sharpening.
Unibind. Ah, the apprenticed photo book. And at the show, there are a few companies with one or addition way to bind your images into absolute books at home. One we admired is the $119.99 PhotoBook Creator (http://www.myphotobookcreator.com) bogus by Unibind (http://www.unibind.com), which includes the bounden machine, two covers and Windows software. We had a abbreviate affirmation — 90 abnormal is all it takes. You bead one of the abandoned hardback book covers into a alluring abating bar with two panels to authority the book’s aback adjoin the balmy metal bar. Central the aback is addition animate strip, which accounts for the attraction. The calefaction is all-important to cook a adhesive coated on the central of the spine. Aback the adhesive has melted, you can admit a assemblage of affidavit (your book, that is) and the adhesive will harden, captivation them in the cover. Presto! You’ve fabricated a book at home. You can additionally bead the accomplished book aback in the boiler to alleviate the adhesive and abolish the pages a few times. Afterwards that, you lose abundant adhesive that the pages won’t attach to the awning any more.
HP. Encouraged by the success of their in-camera slimming effect, HP has added a brace added tricks. Pets don’t reflect the ablaze from your beam off the aback of their iris absolutely the aforementioned way we do. They accept green-eye, not red-eye. HP ample it was aloof as accessible to do for blooming what they do for red. Aloof cross to the pupil, bang and its gone. And what you can do for pets you can do for blemishes. A new affection alleged Blow Up lets you atom abroad pimples, moles and scars the aforementioned way you abolish red-eye. HP additionally alien Vista-compatible tagging with these models. You can set a tag to be acclimated on all the images you’ll be demography or aloof accredit a tag to images you’ve taken and Vista will admit them aback you archetype the images to your computer. The aggregation has additionally redesigned its chargeless Photosmart Essentials software package.
Panasonic. Panasonic is ablution its Agenda Photo Academy (http://www.DigitalPhotoAcademy.com) this May in 20 altered cities. Courses offered at three altered levels of ability (beginner, average and advanced) will be accomplished by a bounded able photographer, giving acceptance on-going admission to photo experts and assets in their own community. Cities accommodate Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa and Washington, D.C.
Fotomagico. We’re abundant admirers of Boinx Software’s Fotomagico (http://www.boinx.com) for Mac OS X. It’s fun to assignment with and the after-effects are consistently aboriginal class. There is an affair with computers that use the ATI Radeon 7500 cartoon card, which consign an all-black video. But otherwise, we’ve recommended it afterwards hesitation. The aggregation has aloof appear adaptation 2.0 and fabricated it a chargeless advancement to anyone with a adaptation 1.x license. Adaptation 2.0 is actuality appear in two versions, the $49 FotoMagico 2 Express and the $129 FotoMagico 2 Pro. The chargeless advancement is to the Express adaptation but advance to Pro is aloof $50 until May 31. There’s additionally a 15 percent abatement if you use “PMA07” as the advertisement cipher aback acclimation on the Web. Which ability appear in accessible if you’re absorbed in the new ancestors authorization that lets you use the software accompanying on up to bristles computers “in a clandestine household” at the aforementioned time. The new adaptation can actualize standalone players and screensavers (Mac alone at the moment) with the aforementioned playback affection as the abounding adaptation of FotoMagico. Since the appearance is rendered in absolute time, the book sizes abide baby compared to HD video. Standalone players and screensavers alpha the appearance as anon as they are opened and can be fabricated to time out or afterwards abdicate afterwards accepting been played a set cardinal of times. Addition new feature, alone attainable in the Pro edition, allows you to add a watermark to your presentation. Any JPEG can be used, resized and repositioned appliance the accepted Fotomagico methods. The ghosted images appears throughout the absolute show. The Pro archetype additionally supports Aperture libraries, HD cine consign and custom consign options.
Piezography. Addition artefact that fabricated us dribble is Piezography’s Aloof K7 archival inkset (http://www.piezography.com). It’s the world’s aboriginal aloof tone, archival inkset for atramentous and white printing. Appliance seven shades of connected ink composed of carbon pigment, anniversary altogether neutral, blush accent is casting carefully by the cardboard you’re columnist on. But how do you acquaint your printer it has gray ink in it instead of color? You use QuadToneRIP, a shareware affairs that knows what’s in anniversary armament and what to do with it. Like use the actual ablaze gray rather than baby aphotic dots in the highlights and mix a brace of the darker grays in the caliginosity to body detail. To book with these inks, you aloof install the cartridges in your printer, install QuadToneRIP on your OS X or Windows computer, accessible your grayscale image, aces your cardboard from the account in the QuadToneRIP window and print.
Kodak. At Kodak’s berth we assuredly got a glimpse of Goldeneye (and alike abstruse how to spell it). Accompany your Bluetooth adaptable buzz aural ambit of the Goldeneye Bluetooth dongle in a Windows computer’s USB anchorage and your buzz will ask you if it’s OK to alteration its images to the computer. The computer has to accept commutual with your buzz first, so not any camphone will get that acceptable offer. But already paired, any time you airing by, you can automatically alteration images off your corpuscle to your computer. They can alike be beatific automatically to the abundant arcade in the sky, EasyShare Gallery. Freeing them from that corpuscle buzz forever. Kodak hasn’t ample out how to bazaar it yet, but it could aloof be one added Bluetooth accent for your corpuscle phone, like a headset. And we assuredly got a adventitious to get some pictures of Kodak’s new all-in-one inkjet line. The 5300 mid-range archetypal (with the LCD that functions like a mini-kiosk) was on affectation with its bargain backup ink cartridges. The aggregation won’t acknowledge columnist or scanning resolution, but allegedly scanning resolution is 1200 (that’s what comes up in the chat box anyway, we were told). We additionally abstruse the absolute administration accord with Best Buy is alone for three months. Afterwards that, added administration chains will open, although Kodak wasn’t allotment names.
Wilhelm. We chock-full at the columnist allowance to get copies of the DIMA columnist releases and ran into Henry Wilhelm of Wilhelm Imaging Research (http://www.wilhelm-research.com). He gave us a archetype of his latest abode on the abidingness of all types of 4×6 prints (http://www.wilhelm-research.com/ist/WIR_IS&T_2007_03_HW.pdf), which he aloof presented this anniversary at the show.
Wilhelm took a attending at how continued 4×6 prints aftermost aback you affectation them (as a affected book or aloof on your refrigerator) and aback your abundance them (say, in an album). He begin that your best of ink and cardboard can affect the constancy of your book by a agency of 200 times.
One of the best pernicious factors in abridgement book activity is what he calls “ambient blast exposure.” Additionally accepted as gas-fading (from blast in attenuated air), it does its affliction accident on prints fabricated with dye-based inks on instant-dry (porous) paper. Kodak’s new all-in-ones do use instant-dry cardboard but with pigment-based inks. But if you buy instant-dry cardboard (instead of the accepted swellable sheets) for your dye-based printer, you accident abbreviate book life.
Roughly speaking, framing a book abaft bottle doubles its life, partly by attention it from ozone. That isn’t consistently the case, as you can see by comparing the affected and bald ball columns of the report, but about true.
An alike added hasty agency in book constancy is the cast of ink and cardboard you buy. We accept argued with readers for years about the accent of affairs the actuality the printer architect sells. There’s a superstition that this is aloof a way to clasp added pennies out of your purse and that any ink and cardboard is about the aforementioned as any other. But Wilhelm proves badly the aberration is significant.
Take the HP Photosmart 145 and 245 printers. He fabricated prints on them appliance the accomplished quality, branded abstracts — both ink and cardboard — he could buy in January from Office Depot, Staples and HP. If you tack them up on your fridge, the Office Depot book will go two months afore fading, the Staples book three months and the HP book 32 years. Anatomy them abaft bottle and you get four months from the Office Depot print, three years from the Staples book (less than a angishore book still) and 68 years from the HP print.
Just authoritative a book at a Photosmart Express retail kiosk will aftermost 200 times best than that Office Depot book fabricated with store-brand ink in a refilled HP 57 armament on Office Depot Able Photo Paper.
Wilhelm notes, “Epson, Hewlett-Packard and Lexmark now accomplish inkjet prints, inks and photo affidavit for home columnist that accept college WIR Affectation Abidingness Ratings than acceptable silver-halide blush prints.” Kodak’s dye sub prints (what comes out of those docks) survive the longest at 10 years caught and 26 years framed.
CONCLUSION | Aback to Contents
Back at the bunker, we assuredly got a acceptable night’s sleep. Alone to accept a alarming dream of cables agee in the grass (we don’t accept a lawn) and accessories in the bushes (we haven’t landscaped yet, those are absolutely weeds). In the dream, every night this accumulating would amplify into added and added boxes and wires. Had the tables been turned? Were we now actuality advised by the devices?
Turns out, according to the dream anyway, it was aloof a awkward cable installer with the amiss address. But we anticipate we got a few analysis units out of the thing. And that’s annihilation to snore about.
Software changes how we work together and feel with the devices. No matter how great the hardware is, the gadget is a waste silicon chip without proper software optimization.

If you get appropriate optimized items, you’ll be able to preserve the impact of attracting clients equal to or better than the commercial.
