I'm actually looking at the portion of the glacier in the above picture as I update this site. Sigh. The Internet is starting to be available everywhere. But there's been some product announcements and updates that you need to know about, so here goes the quick update before I get back to teaching and photographing:
- Nikon updated Capture to version 1.3.2 and Camera Control Pro to version 2.1.0. The big change is D60 support (both the D60 and 16-85mm lens should be out shortly). But the Capture sharpening bug has also been fixed, which will make many happy.
- Silkypix Developer Studio is now at version 3.0.
- Aperture got a big database rewrite and user interface simplification, and is now available in version 2.0. A number of "parity with Lightroom" features popped up, as well.
- It appears that NikonUSA has finally gotten around to addressing some of my complaints about logging in equipment. They're now sending emails with PDF attachments when they log in new equipment and do the initial estimate, instead of mailing it (and slowly at that).
