How To Make Your Own Gallery Wrap

September 10, 2010 by Mike Wong • Comments Off

Canvas gallery wraps are quite popular these days. I think every photography trade show that I've been to this year has had at least 3 different companies exhibiting who specialize only in canvas gallery wraps - not to mention other printers like Mpix.com who offer canvas gallery wraps.

These print service providers are great if you don't have a large format printer or if you don't want to bother with putting the wrap together yourself. But if you do and are perhaps interested in how you might do this, onOne's very own Dan Harlacher has put together a 30 minute video that shows you how you can prepare your image using Genuine Fractals 6 for a canvas gallery wrap and then shows you the process that he goes through to make the wrap. You'll see the proper print settings, assembling the wooden frame and stretching the canvas.

Check it out, it's completely free and available to watch in the onOne University.

How to create an Ad-Hoc network

May 22, 2009 by Mike Wong • 5 Comments

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

February 19, 2009 by Mike Wong • Comments Off

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

December 21, 2008 by Mike Wong • Comments Off

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?
