Well you Uh… 3D Warehouse fans are now in luck! Adobe Just Announced a CS3 Extended Plugin for Google 3D Warehouse that you can download free over at Adobe Labs.
In all seriousness though most of us think Google Earth is really cool, and if you like making buildings for it this is probably for you. So what are you waiting for? Go make some buildings and get them.

Well here is your first PPS Roundtable discussion. We had a few sound glitches, but we’ll get better. Hope you enjoy, and here are some links for things we discussed.
Gavin Reviewed Action Runner, a tool for automating the Photoshop action process with a whole bunch of images. Go check out the trial.
Also discussed was the free Wow lightroom presets by Jack Davis, and How to import your presets from Bridge to Lightroom. Dennis got the Eye-One Display2 for color correction. The Adobe Studio Exchange is good, but we don’t like it as well after the redesign. FredMiranda.com is a great place for lens reviews.
Gavin’s pick of the week was Photo Drop, a Mac tool for automated resizing of images. Jarrod said everyone should go to PhotoshopUser.com, and join NAAP And Dennis loves his lab Whitehouse Custom Color. I think that about wraps it up…. Cheers

12 megapixels, a Leica lens, 3.6 optical zoom and an optical image stabilizer. What more could you ask for? How about wide screen HD video? Yep it’s got that too!
It’s not a DSLR, but many pro’s would agree that having a great point and shoot around is an real asset. The sophisticated Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100 brings many great features to the table, and looks good to top it off. Check out all the details over at Let’s Go Digital

Part two talks in more detail about using Photomatix Pro, and how to use it to get a great looking HDR image. You can use our promo code PPS15 to save 15%. There’s also an HDR Flickr group you should check out, and you can see some of my HDR work on my own Flickr page, also here is the HDR panoramic photo that I made.
People in HDR, and here is a few that I shot to give you some ideas…
This was taken at sunset. The light was very low, and I had to use a high iso. The resulting image came out a bit grainy, but the effect was very dramatic. It gives us some food for thought! Even though this is not what you would think when you thought about HDR, it gives a different aspect and has a lot of mood.
This shot was taken at the beach around sunset. Again a three shot HDR using auto bracketing, it gives off plenty of drama and though the subject has to stand very still the resulting image is just what the doctor ordered.
This is another Senior shot. Doing this is HDR gave it lots of dynamic detail that would not otherwise be possible.
Pick of the week this time was submitted by listener Greg. It a nice (and simple) javs script you can use on your website to make a sideshow. It’s free so just read the direction and your off.
That about does it for this week. You can send questions or comments to prophotoshow@gmail.com. Have a great week… Gavin
Gavin Seim Photography 2007

This was listed in the show notes before, but since it was brought up again on PPS #29 (HDR Part1) I decided to throw it into a post of it’s own.
Visual razor is a simple Photoshop action that works great on single photo’s, or using the batch command. This will likely be included in my up and coming action sets, but now’s your chance to download it for free. It’s a general sharpener/enhancer action that works well on nearly any photo. Apply it before doing other effects to save time by starting out with an image that POPS!
To use it just open Photoshop, and double click on the action file to open it. Then run it on your photo’s by pressing play, or use File/Batch to run the action on a whole folder of images.
There is also Visual Razor Version2. You can get it free at Seim Effects.
