New Group: Travel Photo Forum

Once upon a time, I had a group called travel photo forum on Yahoo, which was a very active place and there were many discussions on travel experiences, tips on the best equipment for traveling with a camera and lots of photo albums.

Unfortunately, when Yahoo changed from its old-fashioned (but performant) "clubs" design to the new "groups", the activity level went down, while membership went down.

I hope that Ipernity will offer a new platform where photo pros and amateurs can exchange tips and tricks and show off their best travel shots.

So once again, I created a "Travel Photo Forum": http://www.ipernity.com/group/travelphoto

Please check it out...

Paintshop Pro X2

I just downloaded the Trial Version of the new PSP X2 - looks quite impressive on the surface.

I was not really impressed with the newly added HDR-functionality though - but then I also rarely prefer the photomatix results to what I get by simply fine-tuning the best exposure of a photo shot in raw format...

The "express-lab" seems to be quite adequate for small jobs, but then I mostly use Adobe Lightroom for such purposes.

The function allowing you to automatically keep the original when working on an image seems quite helpful (but only for those pictures not take in Raw format anyway.

Did anyone else already check this upgrade, what do you think? Is it worth the money?

 

 Here's the German advert I received in my mail:

Wir möchten Ihnen als Nutzer von Corel Paint Shop Pro X gerne mitteilen, dass das brandneue
Corel® Paint Shop Pro® Photo X2
ab sofort vorbestellt werden kann. Das Programm verfügt über einige fantastische neue Features, die weiter unten aufgeführt sind. Vergessen Sie auch nicht, dass Sie diese neue Version zum Upgrade-Preis erwerben können, da Sie bereits die vorherige Version besitzen.

Fünf gute Gründe für ein Upgrade:

1. Neu: HDR-Fotozusammensetzung
(High Dynamic Range)

Dank HDR-Fotozusammensetzung (High Dynamic Range) gelingen Ihnen jetzt auch Aufnahmen von sonst problematischen Szenen mit hohem Kontrast. Nehmen Sie ein Foto für die Schatten und ein anderes für die Lichter auf und kombinieren Sie beide, um ein detailgenaues Bild zu erhalten. Mit einer digitalen oder herkömmlichen Filmkamera ist dies unmöglich.
 
2. Neu: Expresslabor
Jetzt können Sie einen ganzen Ordner mit Fotos auf einmal verarbeiten, ohne die Fotos einzeln zu öffnen oder Leistungsstärke für höhere Geschwindigkeit zu opfern. Nehmen sie Änderungen wie Beschneiden, Ausrichten und Entfernen von Makeln und roten Augen vor - blitzschnell. Nachdem Sie den ersten Entwurf erstellt haben, können Sie umgehend detaillierte Arbeiten an einigen ausgewählten Fotos durchführen.
3. Neue Makeup-Werkzeuge: Strecken und Augentropfen
Zwei brandneue Makeup-Werkzeuge erweitern Ihre Möglichkeiten beim Retouschieren von Fotos. Strecken lässt ein Fotomotiv umgehend dünner erscheinen und mit dem Modus Augentropfen können Sie Rötungen aus Augen entfernen und so das Weiß der Augen wiederherstellen.
 
4. Neu: Scanunterteilung
Das Beschneiden von Bildern, die gemeinsam gescannt wurden, geht jetzt ganz einfach von der Hand - wählen Sie einfach die neue Funktion „Neues Bild beschneiden“ und bei jedem Klicken auf OK wird ein neues Dokument aus dem beschnittenen Bereich erstellt.
5. Verbesserte Speicherfunktionen, einschließlich der Funktion „Original automatisch beibehalten“
Schluß mit dem versehentlichen Überschreiben von Originaldateien! Diese Funktion prüft, ob Sie zum ersten Mal speichern und sorgt dann dafür, dass die Originalversion automatisch in einem Unterordner auf der Festplatte gespeichert wird. Mit der Funktion „Originalgröße wiederherstellen“ haben Sie stets eine Absicherung.

Looking for Guest (Travel) Photographers

I must admit that I have several photo sites of my own.
On one of them, I have created albums for the continents with sub-albums for various countries.

http://www.travel-photographer.eu/gallery/main.php

The idea is to look at the same countries from different angles - very much like the photo threads I have here on my blog, but with an album look and feel.
The "Menalto Gallery" script is quite powerful and allows for nested albums and slideshows in various sizes - so it's quite fun.
If you are interested in joining this, please drop me a note...
