onOne Event at B&H Photo with Jack Reznicki
If you are in the New York City area, you might be interested in an event that onOne Software will be doing at the B&H Photo Superstore. Our very own Brian Kraft will be there to demonstrate all of the new features that are included in our latest Plug-In Suite 5. He’ll show you how you can use Mask Pro, Genuine Fractals, PhotoTools Professional Edition, PhotoFrame Professional Edition, PhotoTune and FocalPoint to get in and out of Photoshop as fast as possible.
Before Brian’s presentation, New York based photographer Jack Reznicki will present a slideshow of examples where the onOne plug-ins have helped him create better results while saving valuable time in his studio. If you’re not already familiar with Jack, he is a commercial people and children photographer based in New York City. His creative problem solving has helped promote products and services for many companies such as Tylenol, The Wall Street Journal, Hyatt, Toys “R” Us, Kodak, Reader’s Digest, Crest, AT&T, Playtex, and several Time Magazine covers.
Genuine Fractals on CSI: NY
A few people emailed me last weekend to let me know that Genuine Fractals was mentioned in the CSI: NY episode last week. I had missed that episode on TV but watched it online on the CBS web site the other day. About 23 minutes in, they mention using Genuine Fractals to help them pull more detail out of a photo to help track down the murder suspect. To be honest, the way it was described, I’m not sure that Genuine Fractals would have really been able to help with the image in this case. However, we do have a lot of law enforcement agencies who do use Genuine Fractals on a daily basis to enlarge photos for trial presentations as well as enlarge a still image grabbed from a video surveillance camera’s footage. So to have it mentioned in the storyline was not at all far-fetched.
Regardless, it was still very cool to have Genuine Fractals mentioned on the show and I’d like to thank the CSI: NY writers for including Genuine Fractals in the storyline! You can watch the full episode of CSI: NY that I’m referring to on the CBS.com web site.

Aperture 3 and onOne Plug-ins
For those of you using Aperture 2 to manage your digital camera files, several of the onOne plug-ins such as PhotoFrame, Genuine Fractals, FocalPoint, PhotoTune, and even PhotoTools 2.5 Professional Edition (in conjunction with Photoshop) offer support for and integration with Aperture 2.
As you may have already seen, earlier today, Apple announced Aperture 3. According to Apple, there are over 200 new features in Aperture 3. One of them being a 64-bit application. That means if you’re running Leopard or Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6 respectively) running a 64-bit application will allow that application to access more than 4GB of RAM. It also means, in this case, that any plug-ins you want to run with Aperture 3 need to be 64-bit plug-ins.
