Apple Time Machine

Bucking the trend I recommend Apple’s Time Machine: a part of OS X 10.5 Leopard. If you have no back up strategy Time Machine is definitely better than nothing! If you use ChronoSync or Carbon Copy Cloner then stick with them. SuperDuper! is expected to be updated for Leopard by March 2008.

Expression Media 1 SP1 released

Expression Media 1 Service Pack 1 is out. This is a major bug-fix release that also adds WIC support for RAW formats on Windows, and now checks for program updates automatically.

Expression Media upgrade finishing

Going, going… gone! iView will stop supplying Expression Media license upgrades as of 7 September 2007. Get yours now and be sure to request both Mac and Windows.

Capture One 4 beta

Phase One have released a public beta of Capture One 4. It will have DNG support including import and export. At this early stage from a DAM perspective it is very promising.

Expression Media upgrade ends soon

Only a few days remaining to register iView MediaPro and receive a free Microsoft Expression Media license.

Lightroom 1.1 update

Adobe released the update to Photoshop Lightroom 1.1.

Expression Media licenses arrive

Beware of Geeks baring gifts. Microsoft Expression Media licenses are hitting mailboxes now. Hold off using Expression Media for now. Microsoft have a hotfix in the pipeline with a service pack to follow.
