Rob Galbraith DPI: Mac OS X 10.6.5 improves Aperture processing, extends RAW format support
the newspaper industry is in crisis, and it’s unrealistic to expect that a staff photographer job is out there waiting for you — even if you’ve got the world’s best portfolio. Goals have changed – you have to take care of yourself.
You’re still expected to make incredible pictures, but you also need to market yourself and make sure the business is making money. People graduating today find themselves swimming in a vast pool of freelancers, and a good photo education is one that teaches photographers a lot more than how to shoot pictures.

Rob Galbraith DPI: A first look at ShutterSnitch 2.0 for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch
ShutterSnitch 2.0 is a significant rework that adds a long list of new features and, more importantly, seriously improves its stability when juggling both large photos and largish collections. This new release of ShutterSnitch, which we’ve been using in beta form for some time, takes what was already a really useful workflow tool and moves it several steps closer to being a true killer app for photographers who need to send pictures from one or more wireless-capable digital cameras, or even those who simply need a better slideshow function than what’s offered in Apple’s own Photos app.

Five Technologies We Want (But Won't Get)
In truth, manufacturers have been locked in a decade-long race for their lives as the camera product-cycle shrank from years to months and the race to ever-greater numbers of megapixels dominated the development and consumption subcultures. But now we find ourselves at a plateau of sorts. The megapixel race is largely over. Cameras are actually sticking around on the market long enough for people to actually wear them out. Perhaps the paradigm is shifting back to a development pace we used to see with film. Perhaps it’s time for some real innovation to re-enter the equation.

Nik Software released the fourth version of Color Effex Pro, their popular Photoshop, Lightroom, and Aperture plugin.
