0 CoolCatBad Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Photo manipulation and image design: Photo Studio http://www.stuffware.co.uk/photostudio/ Photo Studio is a multi purpose tool for dealing with photographic images. It greatly speeds up and enhances the process of getting images from your digital camera to the web. It supports everything from downloading the images from your camera or memory card, through rotating, resizing, conversion, previewing, adding comments, creating thumbnails and generating fully customisable HTML index pages ready for uploading to your website. Photo Studio is also a useful tool for exploring the meta data stored along with your image files. The program supports a wide variety of meta data standards, including EXIF, CIFF, Olympus, JFIF and Photoshop. EXIF data will be of particular interest to digital camera users - it is the format used by most digital cameras to store camera settings along with an image. The tool also has basic support for some movie formats - AVI and QuickTime/JPEG, as recorded by some older digital cameras. The tool can play back, as well as extract video, audio and stills from these files.

0 CoolCatBad Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 System Information and monitoring: Raid 2 Raid http://raid2raid.com/ Unlock your native RAID array! Stop depending on the system board chipset to support your RAID configuration! Mount RAID arrays and Dynamic Disks created with all current Intel, nVidia or VIA chipsets on any other chipset and on all versions of Windows with free Raid 2 Raid software. Motherboard failed? Upgraded to a different chipset? Changed brand or manufacturer of a system board? Don?t get locked into a single chipset! Raid 2 Raid will mount your RAID array no matter what chipset you were using then and no matter what you are using now. New motherboard does not have built-in RAID support? No problem! Raid 2 Raid will accommodate your existing RAID arrays on the new PC ? whether or not it supports hardware RAID! Created a Dynamic Disk with Windows? Moving the software RAID onto another PC? Raid 2 Raid will mount any Dynamic Disk on any version of Windows no matter whether or not it supports the Dynamic Disks!
