  • The GIMP moves on

    OK! I still think that The GIMP, this excellent free graphics manipulation tool (available on PC-Windows, Linux, etc.) is only a pale copy of Photoshop CS3. But nonetheless, it is much cheaper (free) and totally able even with its weaknesses. This makes it a good reason to signal the arrival of version 2.5.4 of The…

  • Canon EOS 50D, good reading

    On the Canon USA web site, there are a few interesting articles about the recent Canon EOS 50D reserved for those who cannot really buy a camera as expensive as the Full Frame ones announced by Nikon, Sony and Canon.

Usually, it is impossible to find the copies, even if you know your images well. TinEye will find copies of your…

  • Canon, that’s a mess!

    One thing is sure, Canon worked hard on the promotional campaign to launch the Canon EOS 5D Mark II (the nearly official name of the successor to the Canon EOS 5D digital SLR). But one thing more is obvious: They are starting to shoot themselves in the foot. A perfectly planned teasing with announces, leaks,…

  • Canon extending NDA

    It seems that -for some reason I still don’t understand- Canon is trying to extend the Non-Disclosure Agreement applied to the press for its new SLR camera. Originally, something was scheduled for the 10th of September, and nobody had the right to speak about it before this date. But, now, Canon wants some more time……
