I just posted a new PhotoTools 2 Professional Edition preset over on the onOne Exchange. It's called the Velveteen Glow and it combines the Velveteen effect from Kevin Kubota and the Diffuse Glow effect written by Jack Davis. The Velveteen effect adds a nice touch to the color and diffuses the shadows over the highlights. I couldn't get enough so I added the Diffuse Glow to give it a stylized look. Give it a try. I think you'll like it. Here's the example image I posted at the Exchange site.

I just posted a new PhotoTools 2 Professional Edition preset over on the onOne Exchange site. It's called the Double Glow and I think it's a great look for portrait shots. If you've got PhotoTools 2 Pro Edition, you can download this for free.

Well, it took a bit longer than we had originally thought and hoped, but PhotoTools 2 is shipping and available immediately for purchase and demo download. We're very excited about this new version of PhotoTools 2. I love how you can now mask in or out any of the effects to apply them to specific portions of your photo - and the masking is specific for each effect so if you have more than one effect in your Stack, you can totally customize it.
PhotoTools 2 is a free update if you own the Plug-In Suite 4 so be sure to use the Check for Updates menu item within one of the Plug-In Suite 4's plug-ins. If you're new to PhotoTools 2, you can learn more here and request a demo download as well.

Earlier today, I sent out an eNewsletter about lots of news going on here at onOne. One story that has generated lots of email and phone calls is I wasn't clear that Genuine Fractals 6 and PhotoTools 2 are NOT shipping yet, but only announced.
Please note, Genuine Fractals 6 (standard and professional editions) are scheduled to ship around the end of November or the first week in December depending on how fast we can get disks back from our CD replicator.
PhotoTools 2 (standard and professional edition) won't be shipping until late January 2009.
I apologize for any confusion the eNews may have caused.

It just dawned on me that I have yet to write on the blog about our new product announcements from last month at PhotoPlus Expo. I know I thought about it, but clearly I didn't post anything here. So here goes...
