B*Gallery-FREE

B*Gallery is freeware

Cerebrosoft has announced that B*Gallery, their Java-based image publishing application, is now available free of charge with "no strings attached."
B*Gallery was originally launched as shareware in 2003.

B*Gallery is a Linux, Mac OS X and Windows application that makes it easy to create HTML image galleries that can be updated, extended and shared.
Unlike most Web gallery applications that create simple, static galleries, B*Gallery makes it simple to add, update, customize and connect content into meaningful photo albums.
And did I mention it is FREE?

Use Liquify to make 'em smile!


If you have a nice photo of a model, but she or he wasn’t smiling and you want the photo to feature a smiling face, or vice versa, you can use Photoshop to slightly tweak the facial expressions.
The key is to be subtle in your approach, unless you are creating a caricature or cartoon. With the Liquify tool, we can create some subtle changes to model photos that can affect the overall mood of the face and therefore affect the mood of the photo.

Double up on SanDisk Ultra II Cards

Calumet and SanDisk have teamed up again to bring you two speedy 2GB memory cards for the normal price of one. Until May 31, you can get two SanDisk Ultra II 2GB in your choice of CF or SD formats for $29.99!

Because serious digital photography requires speed and reliability, these cards are optimized to heighten the performance of your pro gear. Both the CF and SD cards boast minimum write speeds of 9MB/s and read speeds of 10MB/s. In your camera, they improve capture and recycle times for rapid-fire shooting and ultra-fast viewing. When transferring files, download speeds increase dramatically, shortening your post-production. And even with that swift performance, their minimal power consumption won't sap valuable battery life.

Each card also comes backed by a lifetime warranty to ensure you get the support you expect from the SanDisk name. Stock up now—this valuable offer ends May 31, 2008, or while quantities last! Limit five specials per customer per format.
