Emailnery

Sent a copy of this stationery to myself as a test. The graphic in the header did not come through, the stationery beige color was truncated by †he letter's body (dark gray with black text barely visible) and a dark gray line stretched through the return address which the stationery did supply without prompting) in the header. Running a pretty quick iMac, but this is 3rd generation stationery, it says, so it may be me...

Sent this to myself as a test; body of the letter came through in dark gray with text barely visible and beige stationery color top and bottom showed no graphic. I'm on a pretty quick iMac, but this is version 3 of this stationery, so maybe it's me...

InstantShot!

C. Spencer Van Gulick reviewed on 02 Sep 2011

Thanks to Digital Waters for updating this wonderful software - no do-dads but amply tweakable and excellent, straight-line workflow capacity. Unfortunately, I had to abandon it when Lion arrived well before an updated version of InstantShot! was ready, and a close approximation was available for $2.99 at the Apple Store. Even so, I may re-install InstantShot! Sure and begorrah, when you need a screenshot, it brings in the cavalry without the thunder and dust.

Photo Blender

C. Spencer Van Gulick reviewed on 15 Jun 2011

This program is a child's graphic toy with potential. It launches in literally two seconds, has help files and an easy-to-understand interface, and does precisely what it promises. The flower "stamps" are fairly impressive for serious users and the choice of masks is extensive, allowing pretty much any blend you could want (and could also do easily in Photoshop, but not THIS easily). But the stock borders, a nice afterthought, are cheesy; and the cartoon stamps are just for whimsy. There is no "undo," per se, and the clip art, being raster rather than vector, cannot be enlarged without. Not a program for my graphic library (yet), but fun for kids and sillies.

Animix

C. Spencer Van Gulick reviewed on 10 Jun 2011

WOW! Version 1.1 is a gem! You can get what this program does with your photos if you buy After Effects or Aperture and spend twice as much as the price of Animix on a plug-in or two, but nothing on the market approaches, let alone beats, what this program can do for a static photo for 20 bucks: actually bringing it to life! Help and examples are available on Neatberry's website, and the learning curve is ridiculously small. Download a copy! Try it! I LOVE this program!

Animix

C. Spencer Van Gulick commented on 06 Jun 2011

Oh, what a wonderful idea this software embraces, but I can't get it to stop quitting unexpectedly on my iMac 10.6.7 system, nor find any help file yet to accomplish some of the functions the narrative says are available. Will watch this for future releases!

Sketcher

C. Spencer Van Gulick commented on 31 May 2011

Quick look at this program shows potential for "artifying" photos at a very reasonable price. Have not purchased, however, because (1) image cannot be moved in preview window when fine tuning with sliders, (2) application does not remember window size settings on launch and, most important, (3) while final render when saving appears far better than previews, the understandable demo watermark is so busy that the saved results cannot really be evaluated. Good start, though; I'll watch it.

No comments, no screen shot, no response when "Visit the developer's site" is clicked. Afraid to see if it will actually download: what if double-click causes explosion?

METAmachine

Trial copy does not allow writing of metadata at all, so is therefore useless except to take a gui tour if you've nothing better to do.

Metadata Hootenanny

C. Spencer Van Gulick commented on 20 Jun 2010

Haven't tried this program yet, but am sure it will be a treat. I downloaded it because the icon is the cleverest and cutest I've ever seen - and there are some clever and cute ones out there. Can hardly wait to give it a spin, and to see what the developer makes of it given time.
