ABOUT THE PLUGIN SITE
Hi, The creative things that I did always have an influence on the software products that I created. Ten years ago I started with digital video editing, then concentrated on graphics design and in the previous few years focused on photography. Now I finally created a new web site for presenting my photos and photographic stuff to the public. Of course, some of the photos were edited with PhotoWiz plugins and they gave me ideas for new products or improving my existing plugins. I hope you will like the new web site. See below for the URL. I hope you will enjoy this issue of the newsletter! Wishing you a Nice Christmas Season, http://www.thepluginsite.com
There is also a newsletter option for information about future web site updates and a guest book. I would appreciate any comment that you enter there. The web site is available in English as well as German language. So far there is only one article there, but I plan to add more, especially about enhancing and retouching photos in Photoshop. You can visit the web site at
Results by Brand: 1. Canon 42% 3. Olympus 6% 7. Panasonic 1%
1. Canon 30D / 20D 16% 5. Canon 5D 5% 9. Nikon D2X(s) 2.1% Please note that the Minolta and Kodak DSLRs were not included in the poll, because they are not produced anymore. One mistake that I made was not to have a Nikon D70(s) item and to have it included in the "Other Nikon DSLRs" item. I nevertheless added it in the results with an estimated value of 7 to 8%, which was extracted from the 11% value of the "Other Nikon DSLRs" item. There were also 13% of votes from people who don't have a DSLR. As you can see from the results more than two thirds of all used DSLRs are from Canon and Nikon and one third of all used DSLRs are the Canon 30D and 400D/Rebel XTi and their predecessors.

runs down the left side of the screen. It's two primary "buttons"

the selected area. ... Can someone perchance tell me what the name of

intact with only the other four warping to align with its various features.
So far, Photomerge will only work by warping all five images to get a
result. Anyone have any ideas on how I might get what I'm looking for...

The free 8bf plugin collection (for Windows) has been extended with two new plugins. The Single Hue plugin lets you change the hue and saturation of your image and the Granularity plugin adds monochrome grain to your image. Additionally the Foto Fix from the collection plugin was updated. http://8bf.net/

Imagenomic released two new plugins for Photoshop and Elements called RealGrain and Portraiture (for Mac/Win). RealGrain simulates grain patterns and the look of film grain. Portraiture removes imperfections in portrait shots while retaining important picture details. http://www.imagenomic.com/
