If you are a professional or an avid amateur film maker, you probably own high-end editing software like Apple’s Final Cut Studio. But if you are a hobbiest who makes the occasional movie, you probably don’t want to spend the big bucks for editing or special effects software. Now with iMovie and the Elasty HD software you can have the next best thing for a reasonable price. What is Elasty HD? It is a program that lets you manipulate your movie in quite a few different ways...

Morph Age - Review for June 2010
Submitted by LD on Mon, 2010-05-31 14:29. reviewsMorph Age.pdf (475.42 KB)
Morph Age is a program that will Morph images together - similar to the morphing faces in Michael Jackson’s Black and White video. In addition, Morph Age will Warp (deform) a single image - treating it like clay that can be pushed and pulled to distort its image. The resulting morph/warp can be saved as a still image or as a QuickTime movie. BTW: The Pro version will also let you morph between two QuickTime movies.

Are there times when you wish you owned a scanner?

Prizmo is a software package that turns your digital camera into a scanner
ProSoft Presentation
Submitted by Tom Harrington on Fri, 2006-10-06 17:18. publicLast night's meeting was a presentation by Gordon Bell of Prosoft Engineering, makers of such applications as Data Rescue and Picture Rescue.
The presentation was a "live remote" via iChat, with Gordon at Prosoft's headquarters in California and us in Colorado. Gordon's on the main screen, and his presentation slides are on the secondary screen on the right. SMMUG has done this kind of presentation twice now (last time was with Bob Levitus), and it has been a great way to have people do presentations without needing to travel to Colorado Springs. We see Gordon up on the screen, and he sees us via a video camera on our end.
