For those that took an interest in my earlier post regarding Facebook’s revised Terms of Use “Facebook’s Terms of Use: From Bad to Beyond Worse“, news is just now coming out that Facebook has reverted to an older version of their Terms of Use dated September 23, 2008. Another notable development is that Facebook has created a Facebook Bill of Rights group to solicit feedback to future changes to the
I’m happy to announce that JMG-Galleries.com has taken on a new look and feel and a new stock photography section has been added. In fact the stock photography section is itself a web site unto itself JMG-Stock-Photo-Video.com. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Given some comments I’ve read with in my Lightroom 2 review “Adobe Lightroom 2.0 – First Impressions That Impress” and across the web I thought it would be a good idea to share some Lightroom 2 optimization tips I’ve recently found. Hopefully this information and the respective web sites this information was found on will prove to be helpful for those that have made the plunge with their
The much-awaited Adobe Lightroom 2.0 was released July 29th after a brief 4 month Beta period. With out hesitation, for reasons I’ll explain later, I upgraded my copy of Lightroom to version 2 the day it was announced. Now that I’ve had a chance to use the application in real world conditions for the past week I wanted to share my impressions of it. Since Lightroom went into its initial Beta I’ve be
One of the best-kept secrets when it comes to making dynamic photo slide shows is Fotomagico. Fotomagico makes creating professional level presentations incredibly easy. I’ve been using Fotomagico since version 2.0 and since that time Boinx Software have been regularly releasing updates.
