Protect private pictures against the curious eye by placing them into a secure encrypted container. Secure AES protection, ultimate convenience and ease of use make Hide Photos a perfect digital photo album for every amateur photographer.
 
Bolide Software announces the release of Hide Photos v1.1, a secure container for digital pictures. A perfect combination of security, convenience and ease of use make Hide Photos a perfect choice for digital photographers.
 
Digital photography changed the way people take, develop and print photos radically. No more need to bring films to a photo lab to make perfectly looking prints. Digital made it possible to perform the entire process of developing, editing and printing photographs at ones home, eliminating the possible embarrassment of a lab employee looking at photos intended strictly for private view.
 
Storing the digital photographs is just another matter. Naughty home stuff or pictures of your ex are equally not intended to be viewed by an inappropriate eye, yet for completely different reasons. What are your choices here?
 
Of course, you could just store the digital pictures hidden deep on your computer in a hope that no one stumbles upon them. That means no protection at all. Or you can put the pictures into an encrypted ZIP or RAR archive, making them impossible to access without a password.

That could work to protect your photos. The problem is that the protection works in both ways, making it inconvenient for you to access the images. Besides, due to the nature of how archivers like ZIP and RAR work, your photos will be extracted and stored unprotected somewhere on the hard disk every time you access them. To sum it up, archives are neither convenient nor secure as a means to protect digital photo albums.
 
The solution? A dedicated photo protection tool just like Hide Photos! The product combines the convenience of unrestricted access with the security of encrypted archives. Hide Photos keeps the digital images securely encrypted (AES-256 if you’re worried about the degree of security) yet handily available. You can view, add or delete digital pictures in the protected album at any time by just entering a password once. The images are never saved to the hard disk, thus eliminating the security hole of the password-protected archives.
 
What if you forget your password? If that would be a ZIP or RAR archive, you’d just lose your pictures or spend an awful lot of time trying to recover the original password with recovery tools. Lost passwords are no problem with Hide Photos! You can specify a password hint to remind you and you only about the right password. Just make sure the hint isn’t too obvious for anyone but you!
 
Hide Photos includes a full-featured image browser, viewer and organizer, making access to the protected pictures as easy and convenient as possible. Tag pictures with keywords, organize them by folders, specify passwords for the entire album or separate images, browse and view pictures from within the program without saving anything onto the hard drive.
 
Hide Photos is a simple, easy and completely secure digital photo album that keeps away the curious eye. Download your evaluation copy free at http://hidephotos.com/

 Twelve months after their last releases, Adobe and Corel are putting out new editions of their professional-consumer photo authoring suites, promising to make the task of selecting, correcting and printing images easier than ever.

Earlier this month Corel Corp. released Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, while Adobe will release version 6.0 of Photoshop Elements today, both for Windows. Adobe will also release Photoshop Premiere 4.0, a digital video editing suite. A Mac version of Elements will be out early next year.

In the past, these Paint Shop and Elements have looked quite different. This year, however, both have copied the dark grey background of Adobe’s recently-released Lightroom metadata editor for their desktops and look rather similar. The changes to Elements makes the professional version of Photoshop CS3 “look like old technology,” said Colin Smith, a senior Adobe application developer at a briefing for reporters.

Gone are the separate editing and organizing views in previous versions of the software. Elements 6 now borrows from Lightroom by putting access to different functions in tabs called Organize, Fix, Create and Share to the left of an onscreen image. Clicking on a tab brings you to the functions without moving the image.

Elements 6 also takes Lightroom’s image organizing system, allowing users to create Smart Albums of not only still images but video clips as well.

Serious photographers will be pleased images shot in Camera Raw format can now be opened and edited in Elements, in either 8- or 16-bit size. Controls include the ability to crop and remove red-eye. Tools for adjusting sharpening through amount, radius, detail and masking are also available.

However, these are not close to the extensive raw adjustment tools in Elements. The tools for converting colour images to black and white have been enhanced, with several styles to choose from all of which can be honed.

For those who hate having group shots of people where one person looks better (or worse) than others, Elements 6 has borrowed from CS3 to give a Photomerge function lets users merge people’s faces from one image into another.

Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 has added an Express Lab mode, which lets users view and edit photos – including those in raw format — faster than previous editions. In an effort to overcome the narrow exposure range of digital cameras, advanced photographers sometimes make several different exposures of a high-contrast scene and then blend them in a technique called high dynamic range imaging. Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 offers an automated function to do that called HDR Photo Merge.

X2 also adds a Layers Style tool for adding drop shadows, embossing, bevels and reflections to text and photos.

Also new is the Thinify tool, which can make people look thinner with just one click, a watermark tool and the Save for Office option, in which photos can be automatically resized and saved in a format.

ReflectionsOfYou.co.uk are pleased to announce the introduction of a new Photo Book. The new book allows the design of the front cover to whatever you want it to be. You can place pictures, text or backgrounds to give a polished and personal book cover. The quality and design that can be created are second to none and we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible.

Download the FREE easy to use design software and start getting all those memories in to a book that tells your story.

The Free easy to use software available from ReflectionsOfYou.co.uk has now been upgraded to enhance a number of tools and to add new features in to the software.

The most important aspect of the upgrade is the compatability with Vista. As a moving beast Vista has not been easy to create a fully enabled and reliable integration. We have upgraded .Net to version 2 also to bring the software right up to date.

Some of the features that we have improved on include the preview screen is now a much improved representation of the book you will get produced. The page layout has been improved by adding the ability to save your own designs allowing for much improved designs for YOU to create.
