SlideShowPro: Create Flash-based Slide Shows with Lightroom
Adobe's Lightroom is my "comfort place" when it
comes to managing, editing and publishing my
photography. I've used many, many apps in my photo
management life (some
not so great) and hand's-down, Lightroom is
the one for me. Of course, the first time I saw
SlideShowPro
from Dominey Design, well.... I really wished
Lightroom would have support for it. It does

Adobe Proposes Universal Digital Camera "Raw" Image Format
Adobe has published a specification for a new
universal file format for digital cameras. Dubbed
the Digital NeGative (DNG) format, Adobe's proposal
would not supersede the JPEG format used by almost
all digital cameras these days, but the native
formats such cameras offer users who want maximum,
image fidelity.
According to the Register UK
site, these raw formats hold the image as
taken, without the loss of data even mildest
JPEG conversion involves, or adjustments made by
the camera's video processing electronics. The
catch is that without compression, raw images
are very large, limiting the number of them the
camera can hold. Worse, different camera vendors
use different, proprietary raw formats.
