Show Notes…

In the mailbag listener Keith had some neat comments about raw, and also a format call .dng (Digital Negative) He mentioned the DNG converter, and you can get that free from adobe for Windows or Macintosh. There was also a question from greg about reasoanly priced 3d pano tripod heads. It seems that Manfrotto offers some in their 300 series, but they still cost a fair penny

In the news this week we talked a bit more about PS CS3 beta, so if your on a Mac and haven’t gotten it yet you’ll want to check it out. You can pick it up at the Adobe Labs Website
Also Kevin Kubota just released his latest action set called Artistic Tools Volume 3

In the tips this week I mentioned fellow photographer David Jay’s software site as well a really neat pack of Adobe Camera Raw presets called Brilliant Bridge Settings

Pick of the week this week is WinkFlash.com for their reasonably priced canvas wraps, as well as lots of other neat stuff .

I think that about covers it for this week.
Merry Christmas… Gavin
