Honest: we're not jet-setters to this degree *most* of the year. It just happens that we're traveling waaay too much for the next little bit of life.
the view from my window this morning. calgary, ab.
the view from my window now. phoenix, az.
Just landed in Phoenix to setup our QuiKeys booth to wow the photographic world at Imaging USA.
Why check it out? We'll be showing off soon-to-be-released updates to both the Album and RAW Modules that are shedding even more time off our workflow.
ALBUM MODULE UPDATE
How about tighter integration between Photoshop and Bridge? No longer do you need to open every image in PS before adding them to a page; just find your image in bridge and hit a key and presto quikeyo: the image flies in, sized and placed to perfection. Bonus: those with big screens or, better yet, dual monitors can keep both PS and Bridge open and view the entire spread while choosing which images to place. Makes album creation even more intuitive and Fast!
How about automated tracking of images used? Sure: the new Album Module automagically labels all used images with 5-stars in Bridge. Of course it also places the images in the Photoshop spread on a separate layer with the image namesake. Makes image swaps a breeze and keeps everything neat and tidy :)
RAW MODULE UPDATE
Where to begin?
How about removing the need to keep your mouse over Fill Light? Check.
How about getting rid of any lag when selecting basic adjustment tools? Check.
How about adding even MORE powerful targeted adjustment tool options, including direct-key access to under and over-exposure presets? Check.
How about adding direct-key access to presets? Well ... ok.
How about you throw in DQ's favorite presets? You drive a hard bargain, but we'll do it.
How about a show discount worthy of the seeming recession we're in? Oh man ..... alRIGHT already!!
How about giving all current module owners the upgrade for free? FREE?!?! Are you NUTS!?!?
(sigh) .... alright all current album and raw module users will get the update for free (grumble)
See: we've been busy ;)
We'll be demoing the upcoming updates at booth 324 from January 11-13. Be sure to stop by and say, "Hi!" if you're in the neighborhood :)
from the looks of that window, i know exactly what hotel you are staying in Phoenix! ha!

Okay, I'm confused. I have the quikeys and the album module, but not the raw module. Do I get the raw module for free now?

Hey J,
Good question. The update will only be free for those who already purchased the original module. That means you'd qualify for the album module update, but not the RAW module.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
