If you use iPhoto, and you have a Flickr account, but you don’t have a way of getting your pictures from one to the other, you might want to give FFXporter a look. It’s a free iPhoto plugin that — just as the name would indicate — exports files from your iPhoto library to Flickr. [...]
If your site uses thumbnail images, but you’re still opening a separate tab or a separate window to show the larger version, you need to see this: FancyZoom is a little bit of Javascript used by Cabel Sasser on both his personal site and the Panic website, to zoom images inline. Cabel describes the effect [...]
If you, like us, capture and edit a lot of screenshots, the new version of SnagIt might interest you. We have covered past versions so let’s focus on what’s new with 9.0.

If you’ve been following the new iTunes app store, you might be wondering how all those screenshots got there. Some people seem to think you need to run an iPhone simulator or install an app to create them, but there’s actually a built-in way to do it right on your phone or pod. We thought [...]

It’s web-based, very simple to use, and has a pretty decent library of effects: sketch, Lomo, reflection and jigsaw puzzle, to name a few. You can upload photos from your own hard drive, or paste [...]
Gawker lets you do time-lapse photography with your Mac’s iSight. You can share and record your streams with other people, and they can record as well.
That’s awesome. And very scary. Don’t forget to turn it off before you go to bed, or the world wide interwebs will know that you sing Barry Manilow in your [...]
