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?

PhotoFrame 4 Professional Edition and Lightroom 2

October 20, 2008 by Mike Wong • Comments Off

If you are one of the hundreds of users who have downloaded or received PhotoFrame 4 Professional Edition in the past couple of days, I'd like to first say THANK YOU for your continued support in purchasing an onOne product.

Second, I know that many of you are wondering how to get PhotoFrame 4 Professional Edition working with Lightroom 2 so you can add a frame from within this application. First, let me tell you (or show you with a graphic) where Lightroom compatible plug-ins (also referred to as modules) go.

Generally speaking, plug-ins will be recognized by Lightroom 2 when placed in these locations, but they won't necessarily be enabled the first time Lightroom 2 sees them. You may have to explicitly go to the Plug-in Manager in Lightroom 2 (File > Plug-In Manager...) and enable PhotoFrame 4 Professional Edition. I'm not 100 percent certiain, but I suspect that Adobe did things this way as a security precaution. Wouldn't want a rogue plug-in or module automatically loading and doing crazy things now would we?

So, if you've got Lightroom 2 and PhotoFrame 4 Professional Edition and you're not seeing the PhotoFrame plug-in from the File > Plug-In Extras menu, try adding it manually. You should be good to go from there.
