Still Swooning for Silver

Silver halide paper, that is. Sure, we’ve added lots of press-printed items over the last few years but good old Kodak Endura is still a mainstay. Imaging Info has a really interesting article over on their site about why photo paper is still the industry standard in the digital age and what the future might hold. You can read the entire article here, and if you’re lucky you might also see an extremely well-designed ad for a certain photo lab.

ATTN APPLE USERS

We have uncovered an issue with the upgrade installs when using the shortcuts from 10.4. It appears that the saved desktop shortcuts do not appear to be linked properly to the older Java cache from 10.4, and clicking them does not start anything. However, we were able to start LabLink using the Java cache window, where the launch of the saved application was treated as a fresh start - downloading the LabLink files and then running as normal. This can be found by going into Finder, selecting Applications, then Utilities, then Java, and opening the Java Web Start app.

Using the Java Web Start to launch LabLink appeared to re-link the Java cache, as the old shortcuts worked again after the application had been run once from the cache window. We will continue to test the LabLink Client in OS X 10.5 to look for any other issues.

Keeping your cards safe!

With the hustle and bustle of an event, it’s easy to forget if you have filled up a card or not, if they are in the camera bag, a suit jacket or your pant pockets.  I have been looking for a solution for keeping my cards in order, as well as protecting them from the elements, be it water, dust or just getting banged around. While shmying around a local camera shop last week I found a card safe that seemed like it would fit the bill. It’s a Gepe Extreme Card Case. It’s built like a tank, virtually shock proof, waterproof and also made from an antistatic material for an extra measure of security. These nifty cases can be purchased locally at EPLEVINE $19.95, WBHUNT $27.95, and CALUMET $24.95.
