    Serious photo imaging: Paint Shop Pro 9 15/03/2005 10:16:59

    Paint Shop Pro 9 is the only serious competitor to Photoshop CS when working with images at the pro­fessional level. It presents a user interface and workflow that is clean and efficient, without the gimmicks and wizards that define many entry-level digital imaging applications.

    New Wacom Tablet 10/03/2005 07:33:28

    The Wacom Intuos 3 graphic tablet straddles the line between enthusiasts using the Graphire 3 and high-end professionals using Cintiq display tablets. The resolution of the Intuos 3 has doubled to 5080 lines per inch both horizontally and vertically, with excellent response, feel, and accuracy.

    Creative digital imaging: Ulead PhotoImpact 10 06/03/2005 07:04:38

    Ulead PhotoImpact 10 provides some strong tools for digital still camera users, as well as refinements to existing tools. However, the most noteworthy improvement to the latest version is the interface, bringing pallet and menu controls into line with other graphics programs such as Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0.

    Getting that film look 13/09/2004 08:02:23

    Affordable, high quality DV camcorders have opened up the world of movie making to a wider audience than ever before, and independent film making is at an all-time high. However, despite the image quality of your typical MiniDV camcorder, a significant section of the video community is rediscovering the merits and qualities of film in providing a softer, warmer alter-native to the sharper, harder look of digital video.

    Semi-pro DVD authoring: Ulead DVD Workshop 2 19/08/2004 09:01:21

    Ulead has been supporting the DVD authoring market for a couple of years, with strong products such as MovieFactory proving popular among new users. However, Ulead’s professional level DVD Workshop 1 and 1.3 have been unable to reach the same level of success in a market dominated by products such as DVD Architect and Adobe Encore DVD.

    Working with old video and film 29/07/2004 09:07:11

    Digital video allows PC users to produce high-quality movies with ease. But what about all that archived analog video that you shot on 8mm or VHS tape, or even 8mm film reels?

    Entry-level video editing: Studio 9 30/06/2004 08:54:35

    Pinnacle has improved its consumer-based video-editing program over the past couple of revisions, pro-viding a reasonably solid application for new users. Studio 9 doesn’t force the user to follow the strict ‘step-by-step’ process favoured by programs such as Ulead’s VideoStudio 7.

    Compact 8Mp camera with exceptional lens quality: PowerShot Pro 1 28/06/2004 09:00:21

    Although providing a similar 8Mp resolution and 7X optical zoom, the PowerShot Pro 1 at 545g is considerably lighter than the recently-released 955g Sony DSC F828 (reviewed at left). The design of the PowerShot Pro 1 is reminiscent of the ground-breaking Pro 70 and Pro 90 models of a couple of years ago, with more rounded styling than the current PowerShot G5 or diminutive Ixus models.

    Pro-quality digital camera: Cybershot DSC F828 25/06/2004 09:00:34

    Continuing a design introduced with the Cybershot F505 several years ago, the DSC F828 is an 8Mp digital still camera that allows you to print high-quality images at up to A3 or poster size. Standout features include a seven-shot burst mode and a more effective ring-based electronic zoom control, replacing the cumbersome rocker switch used on the Cybershot F717.

    More title effects 21/06/2004 08:00:10

    When creating title effects, I advise keeping the action and titles away from the edge of the screen to guarantee full viewing. The best way to ensure a ‘TV safe’ area is to make sure that your titling has a clear margin of a couple of centimetres from the border. In a program such as Premiere Pro, the title workspace should show the safe working margins by default. If no markings are visible, right-click anywhere in the title area and choose View-Safe Title Margin.
