How to view more camera and photo information than iPhoto will show you.

March 10th, 2010

iPhoto is a great photo organization tool, in-fact it’s actually the one I currently prefer. However sometimes it’s terrible for reading the information of a photo.

First attempt I tried “Get Info” from the “File” menu, it displays me a map where I can enter the name of the place the photo was taken and a small description… Not what I’m after.

Accessing Aperture and iPhoto from within our products.

March 8th, 2010

Aperture integration is a common request for our products and we’re working on making a nice easy and comfortable solution.

In the mean time, if you want to access your Aperture or iPhoto library within our software, you can simply use the “Open” menu from the “File” menu. With Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard, Apple built iPhoto & Aperture integration into the “Open” dialog.

  1. Select “Open” from the “File” menu or click on the button to open the “Open” dialog.
  2. In the left hand side of the dialog (the blue area), scroll to the bottom and you’ll see a “PHOTO” option, Click on it.
  3. In the right side of the dialog, it’ll now list your iPhoto & Aperture libraries, click on either and then you can navigate through your libraries and choose the photo you want. Some dialogs allow you to multi-select photos, simply hold down the Apple or Command key when you do so.

HDRtist 1.2 Ships, the most reliable HDRtist to date.

March 4th, 2010

Today we shipped HDRtist 1.2, with a bunch of improvements. Go get it while it’s hot!

"HDRtist 1.2 is the most stable version of HDRtist to date. The large image corruption issue has been resolved along with image removal issue. Aligning images now preserves color profiles (RGB variations only) and the meta data. Making it easier to organize and store the processed HDR images. HDRtist now supports a folder of images being dropped into the main window. Interface changes on the main window include, now showing each images name, a new “Get Info” option and a “Show in Finder” option. Underneath HDRtist features new ImageIO kit code, a new toolbar and improved error reporting (which’ll pick up crash reports)."

Also the HDRtist videos have returned, the Funtastic Photos videos will be available shortly.

Videos temporarily unavailable

February 22nd, 2010

We’ve temporarily removed the videos from our site while we work to replace the Google YouTube videos with our own solution.

We used Google’s YouTube for video, as this was a single solution that could provide video for Mac, Windows and iPhone. In turn Google used our own YouTube videos to advertise and promote competitors products on Ohanaware.com.

Emails to Google have gone unanswered, forcing us to pull these ads and the video from our site. Once we’ve worked out the kinks in our new system we will restore the videos.

Year of the Tiger….. Rrrrr

February 22nd, 2010

Congratulations on starting the new year of the Tiger, my understanding is that this year is going to be good for business. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming to an end and we’re preparing to return to normality, I thought I’d let y’all in on what we’re planning for the year of the Tiger!

Imminently we have a release of HDRtist coming… It should be released within the next couple of weeks.

New website. Apart from removing all GooTube Videos (Google decided to use our YouTube videos to advertise competitors products on our site!), we’ve been slimming down the pages while trying to provide the information that you guys are looking for. Also we’re working on improving the support section.

Fun Photos 2.0, it’s still deep in development, we’ve already got some great new features and the whole engine is slimmer and faster. Expect more to come.

Two new apps are planned for the first half of 2010 and we’re not quite ready to release more details yet!
