Rick Sammon’s blog The Plug-In Experience highlights the various plug-ins that he uses in his daily Photoshop work. A few months back, he started a featured artist of the month on his site featuring the work of some talented photographers with the plug-ins they use.
This month, PhotoTools 2 user Ann Latinovich is Rick’s Artist of the Month. Here’s one of her photos and there are more on Rick’s site. For a wider range of her work, you can visit Ann’s web site at http://www.annlatinovichphotography.com/.

Update 9/16/09 – see important update note below…
We’ve received several emails and phone calls to our Tech Support here in Portland, Oregon since last Friday about the onOne Plug-in Suite not working with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). I’ve also noticed many similar tweets on Twitter. The reports vary from receiving messages that the Suite is already activated or has exceeded the number of allowed activations to reports of Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop CS4 crashing upon launching after installing Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). If you’re having trouble or are considering upgrading to Snow Leopard, please keep reading…
I just got word from Apple that they have officially approved version 1.1 of the DSLR Camera Remote application. If you already own version 1.0, you should see the free 1.1 update as an update on your iPhone or iPod Touch via the App Store Updates section as soon as they push the 1.1 update to the iTunes Store. I did a check in iTunes at 4:12 pm PST on 8/24/09 and it still says version 1.0 so it may be up to 24 hours before version 1.1 goes live, but it has been approved.
Please note, Apple gives developers like us about 24 hours notice that an app has been approved so we can update our web site or just be aware that it is about to go live. It could go live in an hour or it could be 23 hours from now. The reason I’m telling you this is version 1.1 of the DSLR Camera Remote app is going to require version 1.1 of the free companion server software. Version 1.1 of the iPhone app WILL NOT work with version 1.0 of the Server. Likewise, version 1.0 of the iPhone app will not work with version 1.1 of the server.
So, we’ll be watching for when version 1.1 of the iPhone app is live in the iTunes App store and will then post the download links for the 1.1 server immediately.
I’m a few days late in getting to my Photoshop User TV, but fortunately, once they go up, they never come down. Anyway, if you haven’t seen Episode 198 of Photoshop User TV, you should check it out.
Matt Kloskowski goes over how to use the sharpening controls in Adobe Camera Raw and does a good job of explaining what each slider does and how it affects your image. Scott Kelby gives a nice demo on improving your waterfall shots. And last but not least, they cover several different plug-ins that they use including Genuine Fractals and PhotoFrame 4. They even covered the watermarking plug-in from Digimarc which I thought was cool because a friend of mine works there and they (Digimarc) have their offices just a few minutes down the road from us here at onOne.
Additional plug-ins covered included a couple from Nik Software and Topaz Labs. They also talked briefly about the new MpixPro service which I just signed up for and will be sharing my experiences with you all in a future post.
