We do not have a booth this year, but Oliver will be giving a short seminar at the Digitial Photography Experience entitled "How to tell a story - From Photo to Slideshow" each day of the exhibition (Jan 9th to Jan 12th) at 1pm. I created a category for the Macworld 2007 posts, so if there is anything interesting to report, you will find it there.

A nice slideshow with pictures of NYC posted by Mark Raheja on his weblog.

Typical Mac User Podcast Issue 51: "You will find FotoMagico a good enhancement to your Mac experience."

FotoMagico 1.8 is out. It adds support for Aperture libraries. Update is free for all current FotoMagico users. Read the press release, the Version History and download here.

The October 06 issue of MacUser UK includes reviews by Steve Caplin for both FotoMagico 1.7 and Mousposé 2.5: On Mouseposé he writes:"The interface is clear and easy to follow, but made even easier for new users by the addition of a 'talkthrough' button, which audibly talks you through all the features. Mousepose does exactly what's needed for the job in hand. It won't make you work faster, but it will definitely make your demonstrations a whole lot slicker." The rating is 5 of 5 mice for Mouseposé. FotoMagico 1.7 is rated 5 of 5 mice, too: "Although there are other slide show programs, none rival FotoMagico for its ease of use, flexibility and the superb professionalism of its output. A joy to use." Online access requires a premium account: FotoMagico and Mouseposé.
