Lost Photos description, Images Downloads List By 30 Day Change. MotionArtist description, Animation Tools Downloads List By 30 Day Change. MotionArtist 1.0 generates interactive HTML 5 video presentation of comics and more. This full release offers more customization of animation files, tighter recording controls, and better asset editing compared to the July 2012 beta. MotionArtist ($60, buy-only) makes animating images and text relatively easy for comic artists and web designers with imported files. Unlike with Flash, you can't draw in the program and then animate their creations. The focus is on animating existing image files from other sources.
Artwork by Karen Luk MotionArtist opens to a default project designed by Smith Micro, showcasing various animation techniques. MotionArtist has three different views: Director, Camera and Panel. Comic artists can use difference scenes to cut between comic panels or pages. The rub is getting familiar with MotionArtist to maximize the effects of a motion comic. Typical film scene transitions like Fade to Black and Iris Wipes are listed in the scene list tool bar.
Portrait Professional description, Image Editors Downloads List By 30 Day Change | PCWorld. Anthropics Portrait Professional's latest version includes a few nice changes to the interface and controls, but keeps the same basic structure and functionality. Version 10 ($90, free demo) continues to provide a good platform for making changes to improve photo subjects' attractiveness. As in Portrait Professional version 9, version 10 lets you create minimal to sweeping changes to a face to make it more appealing. Once you upload an image, you mark five spots on it--the outside corners of the eyes, the tip of the nose, and the corners of the mouth. Then you adjust the points on the image to correspond to the features of the face, and click. In a few seconds, Portrait Professional 10 changes the features of the face according to its predetermined algorithms that are meant to correspond with beauty, and voila--brand-new face. In the new version, when you indicate that you are working on a child, Portrait Professional eliminates the sculpting tools that won't "work" for them.
Startrails description, Science Downloads List By 30 Day Change | PCWorld. Taking the star photos is the hardest part of making a star trail. Stacking them together is not much more complicated than the process for making a panorama in an application such as Windows Live Photo Gallery. You'll need a specialized star-trail stacking program; I recommend two, both of which are easy to use and free.
Achim Schaller's Startrails is a good choice because it can not only stack your photos but also make an animation of the stars rotating in the sky. StarStax is a similar program, but it lacks the animation option. To use Startrails, for example, simply download the program and copy the folder to a location on your PC (the program requires no other installation). Run Startrails by double-clicking the icon in the program folder. Select File > Open, and choose all of the photos from your star shoot.

Facebook-owned Instagram needs little introduction: This mobile photo-sharing service has taken the world of shutterbugs by storm, with tens of millions of users enthusiastically snapping and sharing. But while Instagram has official apps both for iOS and Android, the service does not offer an official Web or desktop interface. If you want to view Instagram photos on the desktop, you need to find your own solution—perhaps something like Instagrille, a free, slick application for browsing Instagram.
Instagrille is an interesting mashup between a desktop app and a Web app, and runs in its own window, using a free platform called Pokki. It won't let you post new photos to Instagram, but you can browse popular photos, nearby photos, and your timeline (if you log in). You can click on a photo to see a larger version of it, too. Instagrille offers a fun and compelling way to enjoy your Instagram feed without reaching for a smartphone. How to Build a PC for Photographers. You love taking photos. You carry your DSLR or mirrorless camera along wherever you go. You’re always checking out new Photoshop filters or interesting editing applications. You have a Flickr Pro or Smugmug account, and you upload hundreds of photos a year. Now you want a PC that can be responsive and fast when you're editing and tweaking your pictures. Whether you build your own system or buy one off the shelf, several considerations are key to choosing the right mix of components for a photographer's PC.
You want robust storage, a balance between CPU and graphics performance, and a great display. But before I dive into speeds and feeds, let’s consider a photographer's requirements. Meet the Photographer Every photographer shoots a little differently, has varying workflow needs, and takes a unique attitude toward their photos. Currently I use a Nikon D800 DSLR, and I almost always shoot in raw mode. I shoot a variety of subjects, ranging from flowers to landscape to sports action. Blurity! - Fix blurry pictures.
