Genuine Fractals - Image Scaling Plug-in
Product Review by Jennifer Apple — "Although Genuine Fractals can scale up your image all the way to 700% without degrading image quality, I'm going to try something a little bit more real world. So here's the scenario: I have a low-quality web image that is 160 pixels across, but I need it to be 250 pixels across. That's a good amount of enlarging (156%)."

Embedded with a high-precision sensor, the Pantone hueyPRO automatically measures the ambient light within a room for a new level of precision calibration. Even after the calibration process, huey PRO will observe the light falling on the display and automatically adjust the screen brightness for accurate onscreen viewing any time of the day.

TRUE COLOR. From monitor to print.
The color performance of monitors and printers change over time – phosphors and liquid crystals fade causing the display to drift into unknown colors. hueyPRO calibration brings those mysterious colors back into the open, allowing accurate color to be displayed. And through multiple monitor calibration, you ensure accurate onscreen representation on all of your displays.

The Advanced Help found in hueyPRO walks you through not only the calibration process, but also what to do next. Detailed explanation into color science and calibration, as well as output options, gives you the choice of a quick and easy color correction or an in-depth understanding of the science behind the hueyPRO.

You can tune your calibration to a specific output destination or try different settings to see what works best for you. You also have the option to choose your own combination of Whitepoint and Gamma targeting in calibration for a new level of customized profiling. You can take control of your LCD Contrast and Brightness by visually tuning the controls to your custom viewing environment. Previously only available for CRT calibration, you can now calibrate your Contrast and Brightness on any LCD display with the appropriate controls.

The Pantone huey PRO is designed with the same advanced optical color sensors as the Eye-One Display solutions. These optical sensors provide accurate, reliable color onscreen; color before only available to the professionals. With the hueyPRO features-set and inexpensive price, it stands out as one of the best value propositions in digital imaging. huey PRO is the smallest colorimeter on the market, allowing for easy portability, fitting nicely into most camera bags with other essential accessories that are needed for use in the field.

Technical support is available from the color experts at Pantone for the life of the product, so you can be walked through every step of the way in maintaining accurate color on screen.

New Photoshop Pen Tablets - Wacom Bamboo & Bamboo Fun

Wacom has introduced Bamboo, an all new family of pen tablets available in the Americas for the first time. This new family of human interface devices includes Bamboo and Bamboo Fun, two distinct pen tablets that provide a natural, personal and creative digital input experience in any home or work environment. See Bamboo and Bamboo highlights at the Bamboo microsite.

Bamboo Fun: Create your World
Available to consumers immediately in two sleek sizes and four cool colors, Bamboo Fun provides all the tools needed to have fun exploring digital creativity. Ideal for digital photo enthusiasts or those just wanting to satiate their creative hunger, Bamboo Fun makes it easy to enhance photos and create artwork for scrapbooks, craft projects and slide shows.

Bamboo Fun includes valuable software applications that embrace pen support and deliver greater control when editing photos or creating works of art. These applications include Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 (Elements 4 for Mac users), which make it possible to quickly and easily edit and organize digital photos. Many of the retouching and brush strokes required in Photoshop are accomplished more accurately and rapidly with the use of a pen.

Additionally, Nik’s Color Efex ProTM 2 GE filtering software allows one to simply select and apply high-quality photographic enhancements with the stroke of a pen. For those with an artistic flair, the natural feel of the Bamboo Fun pen combined with the capabilities of Corel Painter Essentials 3, also included, makes creating great looking artwork easy and fun. When used with a Bamboo Fun pen, Painter Essentials 3 can take on the look and feel of just about any natural art tool and is perfect for creating original digital artwork from photos.

In addition to Wacom’s patented cordless, battery-free pen, the Bamboo Fun mouse, uses the same electro-magnetic resonance technology as the pen, offering quick response times and accuracy. Because the mouse has no ball, wires or batteries, users discover a virtually maintenance free experience. When used alternately with a mouse, the Bamboo pen can effectively reduce repetitive motion and increase comfort and control. Bamboo Fun is offered in two sizes (small and medium) each in black, silver, white or blue.

There are a variety of pen gestures available within Windows Vista that enable Bamboo users to navigate faster and enhance the overall computing experience. Flicks offers eight customizable gestures with actions determined by the user and Scratch Out allows pen users to delete text automatically with a scratching motion of the pen over the targeted text. Bamboo also enables new features in recent releases of the most popular software applications.

In Microsoft Office 2007, users can now discover new ways to personalize and simplify their work. When running on Windows Vista, Microsoft’s Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and OneNote all support digital mark-up with a Bamboo pen tablet, allowing easy access to digital inking tools for intuitive collaboration. Users can select a pen or highlighter tool to mark-up documents, spreadsheets, presentation slides and e-mail messages. Applications for the Bamboo Family

Pricing and Availability
Available at retail in mid-September, Bamboo is priced at $79.99 (MSRP) SPECIAL - only $69.99 at Amazon.com. Also available, Bamboo Fun, offered in two sizes (small, medium) costs $99.99 and $199.99 (MSRP) respectively.

SiteGrinder 2 - Adobe Photoshop Plugin - Web Builder Plugin

There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.

Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.

Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder 2 seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, this program turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder 2, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, this program is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks.

Generate Your Web Pages Directly From Photoshop
By generating web pages directly from Photoshop, you'll be able to spend much more time on the creative end of the spectrum, since you'll know right off the bat how well particular designs will translate to the web. No more going back to the Photoshop drawing board after getting a phone call from your development team, telling you that what you had envisioned doesn't have a chance of being displayed on the web. You can immediately visually and interactively test your designs, which permits you to then make changes to either esthetics or functions while it's still relatively early on in the design process.

Pricing and Availability
Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download. SiteGrinder 2 can be ordered from Media Lab's online store.
