SmugMug Announces SmugShot for Apple App Store
The wireless transfer of snapshot just got a whole lot easier. With SmugShot, you can use your iPhone to seemlessly sync your photos with your SmugMug account as you take them. We’ve seen similar offerings from the likes of Eye-Fi and even a Panasonic camera that uploads to Picasa via T-Mobile’s network. This is just the beginning folks. And, SmugMug just made another big step toward an integrated feature that I expect will become widespread across other devices and networks in the not-to-distant future.
As for the iPhone, I would expect SmugMug won’t be the last photo sharing site to offer this kind of integrated sharing application. If they haven’t already, I would expect the likes of Flickr, Photobucket and Picasa to follow suit soon. For more on the SmugShot news, see the press release below. Additionally, if you’re not a SmugMug user, you can use the following referral code in the “Referred by” field for a $5 discount ( 7jCtURK05RxCQ ) – there’s also a free trial period available.

Aperture Plug-Ins: Nik Viveza in the Wild
Today, Nik Software released its Viveza plug-in out into the wild for Apple’s Aperture 2.1. The Viveza plug-in is the first big step into localized image editing directly to RAW images. Previously, users of programs like Aperture and Lightroom were forced to make full image edits in the RAW editor and then export a TIFF or other format to Photoshop for localized image edits. Aperture 2.1 has allowed photographers to take RAW editing to this next level. [Read more…]
