Photoshop Elements 6 for mac is now available. (correction from show. It is not actually shipping yet but available tor order) Pentax may be working on an electric viewfinder based a a DP-review forum thread.

Gavin is working on a Black and White Lightroom presets collection, and you can download the free Christmas Glow action and Visual Razor II free sharpening action over at Seim Effects.

During our discussion of making clear images we talked about Gavin’s 5 tips to getting clearer images article. As well as the podcasts on making HDR portraits. We also discussed using a Spyder to get your monitor color correct.

You can discuss things we talked about in the show on the PPS #41 forum thread.

Lastly here’s that image we talked about during the show. It was taken at 1/60th, F4.0, ISO1000, with a Caon L 17-40 and a 580EX flash. I set the flash to about 1/16th power to allow enough light to freeze the bride and groom, but not so much that the sparklers were washed out…. Till next time, Gavin Seim
