Essentials 2 for Apple iPhoto
It's been a very busy time here at onOne. Fresh on last week's announcement of our new FocalPoint 1.0 plug-in for Photoshop becoming available, we've got an announcement for today with the availability of Essentials 2 for iPhoto.
Essentials 2 for iPhoto is an external editor for iPhoto and is launched from within iPhoto when you have a photo selected. When you install Essentials for iPhoto, the installer will ask if you want to set Essentials for iPhoto as the external editor for iPhoto - doing so will allow you to simply select a photo and then click the Edit button and off you will go to our app. When you're done, it will drop you back into iPhoto.
The plug-ins in Essentials 2 for iPhoto are based on PhotoTune (for color correction), FocalPoint (for selective focus and adding depth of field), PhotoFrame (for border & edge effects) and Genuine Fractals (for enlarging photos).
Be sure to check out the Essentials for iPhoto training videos.
The press release is available here.
Digital Imaging Workshop with Jim DiVitale and Helene Glassman
I just got an email from Jim DiVitale and Helene Glassman announcing a hands-on digital imaging workshop in their Atlanta studio coming up in July. Specifically, July 28-30. I've been to Jim's studio before and it's a really nice, big, open space so you'll be learning in a nice environment. Plus, getting to spend a few days learning from both Jim and Helene is a treat in and of itself. Both are wonderful teachers so I highly recommend going to this workshop if you are in or plan to be in the Atlanta area at the end of July.
Here's the link to more info.

NAPP Member Gallery - Keith Roland
I got an email this morning from Keith Roland in Atlanta. Keith works with Jim DiVitale from time to time in Jim's studio, but is a very good photographer and skilled Photoshop user in his own right. Keith has updated his member gallery over at the NAPP Member Gallery and has some great photos in there.
Here's an example of Keith's work, but be sure to follow the link below to see more.
