I just launched my big lightroom preset collection. It has over fifty presets, and lots of creative killer effects.

I’m pretty excited about them as there’s some really cool stuff inside, and I’ve spend a long time working on them. Check it out over on the lightroom presets page.

gavins lightroom presets

I just launched a huge Lightroom presets collection over at seimeffects.com. The set has over 50 cool presets in, covering everything in the workflow process from corrections to sassy creative color effects in a very broad variety.

If your looking for a good set of creative presets then check out power workflow presets. This set has been months in the making and has some killer effects. If you like Lightroom you’ll like Power Workflow, and there’s also a video over there that shows them in action. Check it out.

Update… The issue we were having with the site seem to be resolved. All links should work now. If you have further problems feel free to contact.

It’s a BROADCAST everyone.
For the past year or so tech guru’s have been debating about what to call these internet shows that we produce. Podcast is a pretty bad name because it infers that the program is related directly to ipods, and it’s also an unknown word for many.

  • Scenario of you talking to a friend. (note that this a a simulation and people (especially girls) may still think your nerdy and uncool, even though you do a broadcast)

Yes I’m pretty in to technology. I also do a podcast about it.
What Friend is Thinking… What the heck is a podcast??? must be some little group of friends that he talks to.

Maybe this would be better.

Yes I’m in to technology, and I also do a weekly broadcast about it.
What friend is thinking… Cool this guy must be on his toes and have something going.

So what does Webster say??

From Cnet


MONTEREY, Calif.–Adobe Systems has committed to shipping a beta version of its online image-editing tool, Photoshop Express, this year, and said it will be complete in 2008.

“By late this year, we anticipate having a beta version,” said John Loiacono, senior vice president for Adobe Creative Solutions, speaking at the 6sight digital imaging conference here. And next year, the online service will be “available to anyone,” he said.

Loiacono showed Photoshop Express running on an Adobe server connected over the Internet, he said. But when the average person experiences the software, it likely will be through partners such as Shutterfly or Photobucket, he said.

Unsurprisingly, Loiacono left unmentioned Flickr, which said in October it will use Picnik’s online photo-editing tools.

Photoshop Express is a profoundly important project, and Adobe’s schedule indicates that its repercussions are near-term and not academic.

For Adobe, the project is the spearhead of a transformation from a seller of boxed software to a provider of services in an increasingly rich Internet experience. And for the industry overall, it signals that Internet technology is maturing enough that companies are willing risk extending the brand of respected PC software to the network.

Photoshop Express, as its name suggests, isn’t a full-fledged version of Photoshop proper or even of its hobbyist-oriented sibling, Photoshop Elements. The intent is to reach a much larger audience than the company currently reaches with its higher-end boxed software products.
