Okay, about 3 maybe 4 weeks ago I received a CD in the mail from the Alien Skin’s Lab introducing to me the latest release of their new version of Exposure…Exposure 2. I have never got to look into Exposure 1 in the past, but I have done some reviews on some previous releases of Alien Skin’s Software.
This new piece of software really caught my attention once I installed it. Simply because I get true dynamic finished looks at a touch of a button. Exposure 2 is a plug-in (naturally), it is run from within Photoshop’s filter menu and is started in either color or black and white mode which is a smart move from the guys/gals over at Alien Skin’s Lab.
Alien Skin’s Exposure 2 is compatible with Adobe Photoshop CS2 & CS3 which is great for the many people who haven’t gotten the upgrade. Installation is simple, just slip in the disk, click and go. Of course registration is required but after all that you are on your way on to getting great photography finishes once installed.

The City of New York Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting (MOFTB) will stop accepting public comments on proposed photography and video restrictions on August 3, 2007. As The New York Times recently reported, the new rules have drawn protests from both the New York Civil Liberties Union and Picture New York, a group created to counter the proposal.
The proposed rules would require photographers and videographers shooting or scouting locations on New York City property (which includes the streets and parks that make up most of the city’s public space) to obtain a permit specifying dates, times, and location. This restriction would apply to any party including two or more people in a single site for 30 or more minutes, and any party of five or more with a tripod at a site for 10 or more minutes. The time limit includes all set-up and breakdown activity, and a single site is defined as “any area within 100 feet of where an activity commenced.”
It is notable that while comments on the MOFTB Web site refer to the relevant parties as “crew,” the text of the formal proposal describes them as anyone engaging in “conduct involving a communication … whether verbal or otherwise.” That would seem to include photographic subjects, making outdoor portrait and group photography sessions subject to the rules. Photographers who hold NYPD-issued press passes are exempt from the permit requirement. [Read More Here] [Sign Petition here]

Heres a recent shot I took while experimenting with monochrome on manual mode on my Canon XTI.
I was planning on taking the traditional Teddy Bear in the Bedroom Corner shot…well I did, but with a little more spunk
I hope you all like

I’m not one to pass up free stuff so I thought I’d mention this one. Jack Davis (renowned Photoshop educator, author and Photoshop Hall of Famer) has worked with onOne Software to create one-click photo presets that work specifically with Lightroom. There are over 80 presets that work with the tone, color, as well as many other types of specialized conversions that you can achieve with your photos. As you can imagine, with 80 of them, the possibilities are pretty remarkable. So hat’s off to Jack and the team at onOne Software for jumping into what will be a brand new avenue for creativity with Photoshop Lightroom.
Download the presets here.

Since the advent of digital imaging, we all spend too much time in front of a computer fixing photos, and not enough time behind a camera taking photos. That is about to change.
Introducing 20/20 Color MD, an amazing Adobe Photoshop plug-in that works like an eye exam to quickly color correct your photos. It takes care of all your correction needs, including dynamic range, color balance, brightness, and saturation. There’s even a great highlight and shadow feature built right in.
