W lipcowym teście lustrzanek prezentowaliśmy niewielki aparat Olympusa (E-410), wyposażony w system podglądu na żywo Live View. Nieco wyższa wersja tego niedrogiego modelu SLR zyskała kolejną ważną funkcję: stabilizator obrazu.

Na rynku komercyjnych edytorów wideo nie ma dużego tłoku. Kilka produktów zaspokaja w zasadzie większość potrzeb bardziej zaawansowanych użytkowników, a początkujący mogą skorzystać z bezpłatnej i prostszej alternatywy w postaci edytora Audacity.

Na początku Avid Liquid 7.2 wydaje się programem o intuicyjnej obsłudze. Po trwającej dłuższy czas instalacji i pierwszym uruchomieniu wrażenie to jednak stopniowo zanika.

Koncern Adobe udostępnił nowe wydania aplikacji dla niezaawansowanych grafików i wideoedytorów. Nowe wersje narzędzi Photoshop Elements (oznaczona numerem 6.0) i Premiere Elements (4.0) po raz pierwszy dostępne są w polskich edycjach językowych.

Niewielkie gabaryty oraz duży dotykowy wyświetlacz to parametry charakteryzujące najnowszy aparat cyfrowy firmy BenQ. Mowa tu o modelu o oznaczeniu T800.

Oferta firmy Toshiba wzbogaciła się o cztery nowe kamery cyfrowe - dwie z serii Gigashot A (A100F i A40F) i dwie z serii Gigashot K (K80H i K40H). Pierwsze umożliwiają rejestrację filmów w rozdzielczości 1920 x 1080 pikseli, natomiast pozostała dwójka - w rozdzielczości 1280 x 720 pikseli. Wszystkie dysponują wbudowanymi dyskami twardymi.

Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 kontynuuje rozwój wyznaczony w wersji XI: proste funkcje dla początkujących fotoamatorów konkurują z zaawansowanymi narzędziami o niemal profesjonalnym charakterze.

ES2 to oznaczenie nowej kompaktowej drukarki fotograficznej z rodziny drukarek termosublimacyjnych SELPHY, która pojawiła się w ofercie firmy Canon. Urządzenie zapewnia wydruki w rozdzielczości 300 x 600 dpi.

W ofercie firmy Sanyo pojawiła się nowa kamera cyfrowa - model DMX-HD700. Nowość to - jak twierdzi producent - najmniejsze i najlżejsze tego typu urządzenie na świecie pozwalające na zapis filmów w jakości HD.

Nowa aplikacja do obróbki grafiki dla systemu Mac OS X - Pixelmator 1.0 - wykorzystuje moc karty graficznej, odciążając w ten sposób procesor główny.

Na nową wersję domowego "studia malarskiego" corela przyszło użytkownikom czekać niemal równo 2 lata. Aplikacja ta, oparta na Painterze, ale nieco ograniczona w funkcjonalności, w czwartym wydaniu oferuje uproszczony i uporządkowany interfejs, nowe rodzaje pędzli oraz zgodność z najnowszymi tabletami piórkowymi Wacom.

Firma Kodak zaprezentowała nowy kiosk fotograficzny klasy entry-level. Jest to samoobsługowe urządzenie przeznaczone dla właścicieli małych punktów sprzedaży detalicznej.

Oferta firmy BenQ wzbogaciła się o nowy 7-megapikselowy aparat cyfrowy o oznaczeniu X735. Urządzenie to następca wyróżniającego się niewielką grubością modelu X725.

W ofercie firmy Pentax pojawiły się dwa nowe cyfrowe aparaty fotograficzne - modele Optio V10 i A40. Pierwszy wyposażono w 3-calowy wyświetlacz i aluminiową obudowę, natomiast drugi może się pochwalić trzema systemami stabilizacji obrazu, certyfikatem DivX oraz 12-megapikselową matrycą. Wraz z nimi producent zaprezentował nowy obiektyw dla lustrzanek cyfrowych.

10 października (środa) w Warszawie odbędzie się pokaz produktów firm Avid, Digidesign, Softimage, Pinnacle i M-Audio. Goście spotkania będą mogli zapoznać się m.in. z technologiami stosowanymi w postprodukcji wideo i realizacji transmisji telewizyjnych.

Z programami do generowania fraktalowych krajobrazów spotkałem się dawno temu, jeszcze za czasów użytkowania Amigi 500 wyposażonej w 1MB pamięci RAM. Praca na aplikacji o nazwie Scenery Animator dostarczała mi niezapomnianych wrażeń. Można do nich było zaliczyć także czas generowania obrazu, który w zależności od skomplikowania i rozdzielczości sceny, mógł trwać od kilkunastu minut do kilkunastu godzin. Często zdarzało się tak, że celem przeliczenia danej sceny zostawiało się na noc włączony komputer, a nad ranem odkrywało się jedynie komunikat "out of memory". Nie ukrywam, że nieco mnie to zniechęciło do dalszej eksploracji tego fascynującego tematu i zgodnie z hiszpańskim powiedzeniem "maniana", studiowanie go odłożyłem do nieokreślonej przyszłości.
