Free Software

When something new first hits the market naturally, it creates a lot of interest especially if it is dynamic in its accomplishments. Then in time, several forms of the same thing show up on the market. This is what happens with any type of productive software. This certainly was the case with the Photo Editing Software.

This is such a popular item because for the most part it is user friendly. Particularly if one takes the time to learn how to use it. There is great satisfaction in having excellent quality photos that this type of software allows. To begin with there are several free photo editing software available on the internet. For the most part, they are basic in their functions. They are a great learnin (continue reading…)

The Final Touches
Before any post processing can occur, the image must be “tone mapped” so that resulting HDR image is viewable and editable. If you recall, tone mapping is the HDR software’s way to “compress” the dynamic range to a range that can be displayed using today’s media/monitors. So basically the brightest parts of an image are darkened, while the darker areas are lightened up providing more detail in both of these areas and bringing the dynamic range to a more central range.

As you might have guessed, this can create some undesirable effects with your images, such as a flat looking or low contrast images. I have also noted that many HDR images can have a gray (or color) cast that is i (continue reading…)

High-end cameras are not easily available in several countries in the past. Photographers used to request their friends overseas to get them good cameras. Most of the time even professional photographers do not know about full range of cameras available in the market. They relied on some reviews or word-of-mouth to select their cameras. By the time, one gets a new camera it is always an out-dated one and more advanced models are ruling all over.

Internet has changed it all. Professional photographers anywhere in the world will not miss the launch of a new digital camera, if they are smart enough to use the internet. There is no longer confusion about which camera best meets their requirement. All they needed is (continue reading…)

You’ve instructed the photographer, visited the shoot, seen the results on their notebook and are now looking forward to receiving your disk full of amazing new imagery.  The DVD arrives and as expected the photos are stunning, more than you could have asked for,  yet there seems to be a mistake with the invoice, what’s this digital processing fee all about?

From experience many customers either simply don’t recognize the costs associated in shooting digitally or they appear uneager to pay for something that they feel should be free due to the ‘virtual’ nature of digital files.  Indeed there are no pricey Polaroids, film, wet processing, printing and courier charges with digital capture.

While almost everyone has heard of minisites by now if you know anything about internet marketing, very few people have considered using an open source and free CMS or content managment system, like Mambo or Joomla, which is based on Mambo code, to produce minisites.

What are the advantages of using a CMS like Joomla to rapidly make and deploy minisites on the internet?

1. Joomla is easy to use and you can use thousands of free CSS based templates that support the latest standards and have a site up in hours, not days.

2. Joomla support easy wysiwyg or what you see is what you get visual editors that allow you to set up and add content to a site as easily as using a (continue reading…)

Once you have achieved the level of having your own domain and website it is important to know how to place such things onto the website. One such item that is often left out due to lack of ability is photographs. Photographs are unlike banners in so much as you first have to re-size them and give them a URL from your own domain, while simplistic enough it still seems to elude a lot of people that want to upload some of their own pictures…

Having a website is one thing, but adding content to it exactly how we wish to is another, in most cases people working on websites these days tend to use a HTML Editor or WYSIWYG Editor (What You See Is What You Get), which makes things a whole lot easier.
