Zoner Photo Studio 12 Free

May 5, 2010 By Eric Reagan

Zoner Photo Studio 12 Free is a new photo management and editing software program available for personal and non-commercial use.  While I haven’t used this new free edition yet, I have used Zoner Software’s professional version of Zoner Photo Studio and have been mostly pleased with its capabilities.  Based on this past experience and what the new free version looks like, I think Windows users looking for an inexpensive photo management and basic editing solution would do well to give this a try.

You can download Zoner Photo Studio 12 Free from Zoner Software’s website.

More details in the press release below. [Read more…]

Adobe Launches Photoshop CS5

April 12, 2010 By Eric Reagan

Photoshop CS5

Adobe has launched Photoshop CS5, which has incredible advances in content-aware fill, as well as improvements in complex selections and HDR.  Other new features include new paint effects, automatic lens correction (which makes adjustments for barrel distortion, chromatic aberration and vignetting), native 64-bit support on PC and Mac, puppet warp (for rearranging individual elements within photos), and the list goes on.

Along with Photoshop CS5 will come Camera Raw 6, which should mirror the improvements in noise reduction and sharpening that we’ve seen in the Lightroom 3 betas.

Lots of folks are foaming at the mouth to get their hands on Photoshop CS5 after seeing the sneak peek into the content-aware fill demo.  While you can’t download it yet, you should be able to do so by mid-May.  You can pre-order/upgrade on Adobe’s website now.

In the mean time there’s plenty of free training on the new features in Photoshop CS5.  See earlier posts regarding creativeLIVE and NAPP Photoshop CS5 training.

More details on CS5 below. [Read more…]
