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.

NOWWASHYOURHANDS: Disassemble
Tuesday, January 02, 2007 - Permalink
"There is nothing worse than channeling hours of hard graft into the Mac sitting under your desk, only to be greeted with the non descript 'Fatal Error' message just as you are saving up for the day. The piece of equipment that regularly takes the flak for this event is the one closest to hand: the keyboard.
To emphasize the frustration and brutality often directed towards this simple input peripheral, and as our own exercise in anger management, we bring you the 'Disassemble' Issue. This passive journey through the insides of a keyboard reminds us of the fragile nature of this innocent bystander. So the next time Photoshop unexpectedly quits, spare a thought, breathe in and count to ten. Then calmly re-do the lost work. It'll be quicker the second time."

Somehow this nicely complements the flipbook printing feature of iStopMotion. We are looking at integrating FlipClips nicely into iStopMotion.

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 - Permalink
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. We also discovered the reason for a couple of long outstanding support isssues. A problem in the drivers of the ATI Radeon 7500 card prevents FotoMagico from properly exporting slideshows on a small number of machines. Read more about this issue.
