On a recent vacation I realized I was looking at the scene of a stock photo we used about a year ago. Above is my version of the scene. For more details, a book recommendation, and the Exposure preset I made for the photo read the blog article.

You may recall that we showed off work from Valdo Peixoto in a newsletter last year. He turns photos into expressive art with the help of Snap Art. Recently Valdo finally showed us how he works his magic. I wrote one article that shows some good examples of his work and another that explains his technique.
Donations
 
We recently donated $10,000 evenly split between the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders. The disasters in Japan caused us to start thinking about how to help. In the end we decided to trust these organizations to make the best use of the money rather than earmarking it for a specific purpose.

For more fun, stop by the blog to see our about boxes, learn that a lost license code is not a disaster, see which products we use at the office, and discover obscure plug-ins from little companies.
The blog is our fountain of information that feeds the newsletter. If you use an RSS reader then grab the feed. We post most articles to Facebook, Twitter, and sometimes the Flickr group.
Speaking of Flickr groups and blog articles; we made a round up article showcasing the best of our group's recent additions. Take a look.
