Senior product manager Dan Harlacher has created a short video describing the steps needed to create an Ad-Hoc network that you can use to connect your laptop running the upcoming DSLR Remote Server Software to the DSLR Remote software on your iPhone. This is what you’ll need to do if you are out on location and do not have a wireless connection available from another source.

How to create presets for PhotoTools 2
I’m often asked you create presets for PhotoTools 2 and how to install free presets downloaded from the onOne Exchange. Rather than recreate the wheel video, I thought I’d just post this video that senior product manager Dan Harlacher created a while ago.
Another way Dave Cross uses PhotoFrame
Here’s another video from Dave Cross from the National Association of Photoshop Professionals on how he uses PhotoFrame 4. If you use Adobe Bridge and PhotoFrame 4, this is a must-watch video. Dave shows how to create an Action in Photoshop that calls a PhotoFrame 4 preset and then how he calls that Action from within Adobe Bridge. Very slick.
PhotoFrame 4 Review
Truth be told, I wasn’t very impressed with version 3.x of PhotoFrame.
onOne said they heard my feedback loud and clear and felt they had an answer to my complaints. With the 4.0 release, I can honestly say that they were right. They’ve come up with something that I’d actually use and I’m excited about this cool new product.
If there’s one thing that keeps you honest and helps you improve your products, it’s feedback. For example, we heard from PhotoFrame 3 users that it was hard to find frame content and some (okay, more than some) of the frame content wasn’t all that useful. So we fixed it. Don’t believe me?

My Take on Polaroid in the Digital Age
This month’s issue of PC Photo magazine has a nice article by Mark Edward Harris on learning how to keep the creative look of Polaroid film alive in the digital darkroom. You can read the article online here.
While the article (and the images by photographer Sachi Kato) are very nice, it assumes that you, as the photographer, have a library of old Polaroid film edges at your disposal to recreate this look.
If you don’t have a these for whatever reason, there’s another way that you can do this in a very quick and easy way.
