Swine Flu Mapping 2.0
Free Dashboard map widget for your Mac more>> Were chagrined to announce the public release of HandBrake 0.9.1. Why chagrined? Because 0.9.0 wasnt as stable as it should have been, something 0.9.1 rectifies.
This minor update squashes a number of glaring bugs. Most notably, HandBrake will no longer hang at the end of encoding MKV files with chapter markers. This means the Animation, Bedlam, Constant Quality Rate, Deux Six Quatre, Film, and Television presets are now usable.
Additional improvements:
Impressive performance enhancements
Significant interface prettification (Mac more than Win)
Color subtitles now show up in color
Changing dimensions in Picture Settings no longer causes a crash (Mac)
Forced subtitle support
More robust exception handling (Win)
Closing the main window no longer causes HandBrake to crash (Mac)
Using Slow deinterlacing no longer doubles the chapter count.
MPEG Stream support is now case-insensitive (.VOB as well as .vob, etc) and more compatible
No more error messages sent to standard out instead of standard error
Bigger buffer for the activity log (Mac)
Proper display of fading subtitles amv mac
On-completion options to shutdown, suspend, etc (Win)
Same as source FPS now works correctly when the end-credits of a progressive film are interlaced.
Add-to-queue fixed (Win)
Target size fixed for the umpteenth time (Mac)<<less

Enblend for Mac 3.0
Enblend is a tool for composing images. more>> Enblend is a tool for composing images. Given a set of images that overlap in some irregular way, Enblend overlays them in such a way that the seam between the images is invisible, or at least very difficult to see.
Enblend does not line up the images for you - youll need a tool such as Hugin for that soecific type of job.
Features:
New, faster image processing algorithms for computing Gaussian and Laplacian pyramids.
Optional optimization of seam line placement to try to avoid mismatches and parallax errors in the image overlap region.
Masks can now be saved and loaded from files. This makes it possible to manually edit the location of the seam before multiresolution spline blending is applied.
Checkpointing of partial results is now optional. This improves speed.
Optional blending using the CIECAM02 color appearance model. Your TIFF files should have embedded ICC profiles in order to use this option. This replaces the CIE L*a*b* color blending in Enblend 2.X that never worked properly.
Optional use of the graphics processor to speed up certain computations. This feature is experimental and may not work on all systems.
Like other X.0 releases, please consider this a beta.<<less
Exposure Merger 2.25.4
Exposure Merger is considered as a simple and salutary freeware which is designed to build stereo photographs. more>>
Exposure Merger 2.25.4 is considered as a simple and salutary freeware which is designed to build stereo photographs.
It offers an Exposure Merger function that can be used with non-stereo photographs, without taking into account the original stereo goal of the software. It takes an overexposed photograph and a subexposed photograph, and merge them together in a tunable way to build a new photograph taking only the well exposed parts of each original. It is also possible to produce 2 artificial exposures with a single photograph, using a gamma filter, and then to merge them together exactly like if it where 2 original differently exposed photographs.
FrameBlenderQT 2.0a5
FrameBlenderQT - Cleans up still images that are captured from video more>>
FrameBlender is primarily useful to remove random noise. Since the noise is different in every frame, blending many frames together acts to cancel out the noise.

PhoneTone'r 1.1 is an easy to use, high performance AppleScript application that will automatically dial any telephone number copied to the clipboard! It requires you to place the mouthpiece of your touch-tone phone close to your computer speaker. PhoneTone'r will convert a word number to its proper numerical format and also copy it back to the clipboard (in case you need to paste it into a document).
XBlend 1.3
XBlend uses an intelligent method to vary the way images are blended based on the subject matter more>>
For areas having sudden color changes, such as a door frame, images are blended over a narrow area as our minds expect sharp transitions in those areas. Input images are created using the Multi-image tiff option in PTMac or PTBatch then processed using XBlend.
A free front-end for Enblend, XBlend is useful for seamlessly blending already positioned images into a final panorama.
Alternatively, enblend can be used directly by PTMac and PTBatch by selecting the Enblend TIFF or Enblend PSD options.
XBlend gives the user a simple interface for using enblend. The user loads the images on the first tab, sets the desired blending options on the second tab and presses the blend button.

Halftone 1.1
Halftone is a beneficial and easy-to-use iMovie plug-in that converts your clip to half-tone (color or b/w). more>>
Halftone 1.1 is a beneficial and easy-to-use iMovie plug-in that converts your clip to half-tone (color or b/w). As with all the plugs, you can choose the area of effect on the clip's surface directly.
But what, exactly, is half-toning? Halftoning is an old technique to create grayscale (or, later, shades of color) images when one has only one color (usually black). This simple, yet ingenious technique is still employed in most printers. Applying this plug to your clips gives them an early eighties era look.

Jaspers DRIMaker 1.21
Jaspers DRIMaker - automatically create HDRI pictures from your photos more>>
So in the end, the manual technique that people do in e.g. Photoshop, is simulated.
You will find more information about this kind of technique on this page. Everything you need is an exposure sequence in JPEG/TIFF format.
My aim in this implementation is to get the most natural results, as i think that for photographers the whole DRI thing is made to compensate the bad dynamic range of digital sensors. If the final image has a greater dynamic range than the human eyes could normally adapt to, you have gone much too far imho.
Enhancements:
- Saving is possible again (in v1.2 was a missing connection!)
