John Hartman has introduced HousePortraits, a CD-ROM
containing automated tools that convert an ordinary photograph of
your client's home into a digital masterpiece. It features a complete
series of prebuilt digital mats with single and double cuts to which
you can add custom colors, textures and personalization to create
a profitable portrait product. HousePortraits comes with a set of
custom Photoshop Actions, Brushes, Gradients and Edges, plus marketing
and sales ideas. Epson America has launched the EPSON Stylus Photo
2000P, which delivers quality prints that will last several lifetimes.
Using EPSON Archival Ink and certain new compatible Epson papers,
the Stylus Photo 2000P boasts lightfastness rated at more than 200
years under fluorescent lighting conditions, in a glass frame, before
noticeable fading occurs. The camera manufacturer Sinar has made several
announcements. First, in a logical evolution of the Sinar Digital
Back with those of large format cameras, Sinar has developed the
Macroscan. The large image circle of Sinaron professional digital
lenses and the adjustment capabilities of large format cameras are
utilized to their best advantage by the large imaging area of the
Macroscan. Perfect wide-angle photographs can be made with the horizontal
or the vertical format. Second, it has introduced the new Sinarback
22+, the only digital back in its class to offer a two-year factory
guarantee, and the Sinar Macroscan Adapter. The adapter shifts the
digital back by means of a motor, without vibration and with pixel
accuracy. A finished image becomes available immediately, with a
resolution of more than 18 million pixels and without subsequent
manipulation. Finally, it has released its new catalogs, which can
also be found at www.sinarcameras.com. The new Neil Enterprises' digital event system
created by Sony is an inexpensive, easy-to-use and portable event
imaging/I.D. system for corporate functions, proms, bar and bat
mitzvahs, golf tournaments, and fund-raising events. The system
features Sony's latest in printer technology, the UPX-C21, an A6-sized
paper that is self-laminating and prints 310 dpi and 256 shades
of gray in black and white or in full color (16,700,000) colors.
The print-on-demand system does not require a computer or software,
and can also store multiple images. Select from six different printout
options to create portraits, wallets, passports, minis and sticker
size outputs. Foveon, the Silicon Valley-based producer and of
image sensors, image-capture systems and photographic cameras announced
recently its manufacture of the world's highest resolution Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)-based image sensor. The 16.8 million
pixel (4096x4096) image sensor represents resolution and quality
advances that were previously seen as unachievable for CMOS sensors.
It is the first CMOS-based image sensor that exceeds the resolution
and quality of Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) sensors. Foveon's 16
megapixel sensor captures almost 3 times the data of the 6 megapixel
CCD sensors found in today's highest resolution commercially available
professional digital cameras. |
