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.

Scott Kelby’s new Lightroom Seminar had Tom Hogarty (Lightroom Product Manager) as a guest. He showed the audience some new features that will be coming in the upgrade.
Here is what Scott Kelby had to say:
“Here’s a quick rundown of what Tom showed the crowd:
He showed how you can now easily export one library of photos (now called “catalogs”) and import that catalog into an existing library (perfect for people who work on a laptop on location, then need to merge these photos with their desktop studio machine).
The “Keyword Stamper” has evolved into a much more useful tool, which now lets “Spray” (rather than individually stamping, so it’s much faster), anything from keywords to Develop settings, or rotation settings. This totally wow’d everybody when they saw it in action.
Version 1.1 brings order to your presets and templates as these sections now have folders, so you can easily separate your custom presets and imported presets and templates from the default sets.
But the big, big hit of his presentation was definitely the new Sharpening panel, which pretty much blew everybody away, especially when used with the new Clarity control. This brought cheers from the crowd, which were only matched by Tom’s announcement that Adobe was making this update available for free!!! (we don’t have an official release date, other than “it’s coming soon). “

So as you can see we are all in for a great treat when the upgrade is released. Oh, and the upgrade is FREE… so that’s going to be great.

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

Photovision, the makers of educational dvds and photographic equipment, have started taking orders for their newest educational dvd set entitled, “Lightroom Simplified.” It will feature Ed Pierce who hosts most if not all of Photovision’s dvds. Here is what Photovision is saying about Lightroom Simplified:
Abode’s Photoshop Lightroom is poised to become the professional photographer’s essential toolbox providing one application for managing, adjusting and presenting large volumes of digital photographs. Spend less time in front of the computer and more time behind the lens. This tutorial will save you weeks of trial and error covering every aspect of Lightroom’s 5 modules in detail beginning with installation, setup and preferences. The step-by-step video is designed so you can work side-by-side right on your desktop or if you prefer Lightroom Simplified can be played on any home style DVD player. Uncover the secrets of Lightroom and get your life back.
This set of 5 DVDs will cover each of the 5 Lightroom modules (Develop, Library, Slideshow, Print, Web.) Regular price will be $149 but the special pre-release price is $99. According to their website, it should be shipping around the end of May.
My View: It seems that lately everyone is doing a Photoshop Lightroom dvd, tutorial, or book these days! I guess that just comes with the release of a new, 1.0 photo software program. I am particularly interested in this one because it will focus on Photoshop Lightroom work flow and techniques as it relates to wedding and portrait photographers.
Catch you later,
Dennis
