Awesome photostream…
After Mister Jalopy
posted a link to mmk_kobayashi’s “tasteless, frequently mean,
sporadically NSFW, sometimes jaw dropping and generally hilarious”
Flickr photostream my productivity ground to a halt.
“Windows
only: Zero Assumption Recovery is a simple tool that can be a serious
lifesaver, especially if you’ve just accidentally formatted a memory
card or came home from vacation to a supposedly empty camera. The free
download does what many professional (and costly) image recovery
programs do, running through memory blocks and piecing together
scattered pictures, then dumping them in a folder of your choosing. ZAR
supports most major image formats, including JPEG and RAW, and our commenters
have given it a try and subsequent thumbs up. Zero Assumption Recovery
is a free download for Windows systems only; portions of the program
are paid-to-unlock, but image recovery is free.”
“Adobe announced its intention to create a free, online photo editing application in the fall of last year.
Today, Photoshop Express launches for public consumption. It’s not much
like the computer application of the program, so if you’re used to
using Photoshop, or even a free software imitation like Seashore
with precise number-based controls, you may be disappointed. On the
other hand, Photoshop Express offers a lot of options and some freedom—
it’s easy to use and completely free without requiring a download. The
program also teams up with Facebook, MySpace, and Picasa, pulling and
letting you edit all the pictures from your online albums there. Go
ahead, crop out your exes without taking a single picture off-line.
Right now Photoshop Express offers 2GB of storage, but don’t try to
upload all your pictures at once: it could be first day jitters, but
right now uploading speeds on the site are quite slow. While it’s no
Photoshop, we expect Photoshop Express will be useful to millions of
on-the-go photo posters who want to to upload, crop, straighten,
sharpen or distort their photos from public places or without relying
on a hard drive.”

Digg: “Donnie Hoyle gets as close to a pair of tomatoes as he’ll ever get.”
Digg: “Donnie opens his home to a new friend.”
Digg: “ Donnie’s four day hold-up at the airport makes for some heavy duty Photoshop diversion.”
Lifehacker: “Funny guy screencaster Donnie Hoyle is back with a new episode in his
“You Suck at Photoshop” series, and this one covers color range
selection. Like the rest of the episodes, you might want to pop on the
headphones to listen at work or in front of the kiddies. Hoyle’s using
Photoshop in Windows in this episode, and demonstrates how to expertly
overlay a hammock onto a palm tree scene. Useful and hilarious. Here’s episodes one through three, and here’s episode four.
“Today on Something Awful’s Photoshop Phriday contest: improbably pop-up
books. Alystair’s entry, shown here, is the pick of the litter, but
there’s plenty to like.”
This could be useful when looking at pro photos online so you can see what settings the photographer used on their camera when they took the pic…
Lifehacker: “Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): View Exif data
for photos you’re viewing in Firefox—like camera make, model, exposure,
and other technical details—with the FxIF Firefox extension. Once
installed, right-click any image (from the looks of things it needs to
be the original image—not thumbnailed, for example) and click
Properties. In addition to Firefox’s default set of image properties,
FxIF adds the Exif data as well. On the other hand, if you’re only
interested in the Exif data for Flickr pics, check out the Flickr EXIF Decorator Greasemonkey script. FxIF is free, works wherever Firefox does.”
