So we know that PPS is a great place to learn new things, hear the latest news, and more. But wait there’s more! More good websites and podcasts that is. And today I just wanted to share a couple that you may want to take a look/listen to. These shows will give you some different type of content, as well as some different perspectives on the photography world.

Digital Photography Tips From The Top Floor.
I mean to ask Christoph Marquardt where his title comes from when he joins us on PPS in the future, but in any case you’ll find some good content over on his website, and of course from there you can check out audio and video casts, as well as find them on itunes.

Lightsource
The Lightrsource Photography Podcast over at studiolighting.net is aimed pretty closely at the studio lighting side of things. Now that they don’t cover any other topics, but you’ll find lots of interviews with photographers about their techniques, as well as tips, reviews, and videos on lighting related topics.

Of course there’s more than this, and feel free to mention your favs in the comments are. This should keep you busy for awhile anyways… So what are you waiting for? Start absorbing content!

Our friends over at Macworld have posted a cool article on saving large photoshop files faster.

While useful to have, you probably don’t need to see a preview icon for every interim version of your image.

Canon fans may soon rejoice. It looks like the upgrade of the very popular Canon 30D, the Canon 40D that we’ve been waiting for is near at hand. According to a post on PhotographyBlog.com, The Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) has listed the the Canon 40D on it’s PictBridge-certified product list page. Now bear in mind that this is a rumor, but it stands to reason that the 40D will grace our camera bags eventually, and why not sooner rather than later.

So what are you waiting for? Start spreading the rumor, and share the joy. Just remember that there has been no official announcement yet. If your a Nikon fan you may weep now, but stay tune and we’ll keep you up to date on the latest happenings.

Summary from Adobe:

Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Photoshop CS2 and CS3 that could allow an attacker who successfully exploits these potential vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system. A malicious BMP, DIB, RLE, or PNG must be opened in Photoshop by the user for an attacker to exploit these potential vulnerabilities. Users are recommended to update their installations with the patches provided below, and Adobe encourages all customers to be cautious before opening any unknown file, regardless of which application they may be using.

Get the updates here!

BEFORE YOU UPDATE:

Make sure you do a full back up of your system and  of course your photos. Updating usually doesn’t bother anything but I’ve known people who have lost EVERYTHING from updates and didn’t have a back up.

 

Until Next Time,

Jarrod Michael
