As Dave points out in his video, he found the DSLR Camera Remote very useful on a recent studio shoot he did where, like many of us, he didn’t have an assistant so it was up to him to manage the lighting, do the test shoots and position the model all by himself.

As I mentioned the other day, we don’t have all of our plug-ins ready for Photoshop CS5 just yet {1}. However, we do have Genuine Fractals 6 (both Professional and Standard Editions) completed and Photoshop CS5 compatible and it has now been posted on our Software Updates page (scroll down on the updates page to find Genuine Fractals).
One thing that I thought you might be interested in is the speed improvements we’re seeing internally here with Genuine Fractals 6.0.5 running in the 64-bit Photoshop CS5 compared to running in the 32-bit Photoshop CS4.
The chart on the above tells the story, but in summary, Genuine Fractals 6.0.5 running in 64-bit Photoshop CS5 is up to 2 times faster than it is in the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS4. Your exact results may vary depending on original file size, destination file size and your computer hardware setup (RAM, processor, operating system, etc), but we’re seeing anywhere from a 36% speed increase up to twice as fast.
Getting Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended compatibility remains our highest priority and we’re still targeting the end of this month to have them available [↩]
We’ve got another great webinar planned in our onOne University Pro Webinar Series. This month, our good friend Vincent Versace will be in our Portland, Oregon office to present Bokeh: The Science of Focus and the Art of Blur. Here is a brief description of what you can expect.
I wanted to get back to everybody on the status of the Photoshop CS5 compatibility updates we’re working on. Earlier, we had said mid-May and that’s what we’ve been working very hard to get to. However, we’re not going to hit the mid-May goal that we had set for ourselves to release all of our products as CS5 compatible. Right now, at this moment, I’d say it would be closer to the end of May before these updates are available {1}. We’re getting closer, but we’re not quite there yet. Continue reading…
