Capture One 4.5.1 Released

October 31, 2008 | Tech Features, Tips & Tech Support, News

Summary

One of the most important features of Capture One 4 has gone mostly unnoticed because it is hidden from the end user. The entire architecture of the program has been broken down into modules to make it much easier for Phase One to issue updates. Just two weeks after the release of Capture One 4.5 this is already paying dividends. Along with adding preliminary support for the 5D Mark II (raw file only, no tethering) Phase One has also corrected several bugs. Below you’ll find links to download the software, along with a list of solved issues. As a Value Added Reseller we work very closely with our customers and based on this experience we’ve highlighted what we feel are the most important solved issues.

This year’s pumpkins……

October 31, 2008 | Personal Blogs, Dave

I had great expectations of carving 5 pumpkins last night, one for each member of the family. However, I sadly did not meet this seemingly simple, but foolishly lofty goal. Here are two that I did complete. One for my son and one for my wife. I will let you decide who’s pumpkin is who’s. : )

Paying respect to the medium we helped destroy.

Just this week we were asked if we knew where to buy some 4×5 Polaroid. While I can’t say I know where any hidden boxes of Type 55 are, what I can give you is this. If you have a mac, then click the link below and download a little bit of nostalgia.

This cool little app will let you take any of your images and relive that polaroid feeling. The only thing missing is the residue left on your fingers. Drag and drop your image onto the instamatic and you will hear the trademark sounds, see the picture eject, wait for you picture to develop, and see the “polaroid” look of your image after the picture finally develops. If this doesn’t bring a smile to your face then I am not sure what will. Enjoy.
