PhotoExplorer 7 trial
View any multimedia file (such as image, animated GIF, video, or sound) on your PC. Photo Explorer displays all your folders and files in a tree-like structure similar to Windows Explorer. Selecting a folder displays image and graphics files in thumbnails, so you don't have to remember file names when you want to open, delete, move, or copy files. Using drag-and-drop you can insert a file into another application. For example, you can easily drag an image file onto a PowerPoint presentation slide. What's more, Photo Explorer lets you create instant web pages with frames and hyperlinked thumbnail images, or create slide shows, calendars, screen savers and Windows desktop wallpaper. Photo Explorer now comes with digital photography features for taking photos via your PC. |

trial version |
Adobe has
launched version 7 of the leading pro photo editing software package. But,
until a trial version is available, we'll have to make do with the current
version 6, which introduced powerful vector editing and masking capabilities,
greatly improved layer control, a more powerful array of web publishing
tools, expanded and easier to apply layer styles, and a revised interface
that reduces screen clutter and boosts productivity. |
As for version 7, the three big updates in this release are the completely rewritten painting engine, the healing brush, and Photoshop's new file-handling abilities. The rewritten paint engine has an extensive palette that allows you to change not only the shape and size of a tool, but also how it should behave; so angle, colour variations and underlying textures can be independently defined. The file browser provides information drawn from the image Exif (Exchangeable Image File) header where drawn from a digital camera, including when it was snapped, how long the shutter was open and the F-stop setting. The most impressive function of all, though, is the healing brush, which brings the clone tool into the 21st century. Essentially, it takes the texture of one area, mixes it with the surrounding colour of the destination and merges the results. |

To place a file in an open archive, just drag the file over the Cypherus window. Cypherus uses the industry standard Blowfish algorithm for all of its file encryption. The Blowfish algorithm allows for adjustable key strength, from 128 bits to 448 bits. The longer the key, the stronger it is, but longer keys also take longer to encrypt with. Cypherus makes it easy to secure files that you need constant access to. The Cypherus Autoencryptaur encrypts and decrypts groups of files or whole directories at the click of a button. Cypherus also lets you send encrypted archives to people who don't have Cypherus. Cypherus can turn a regular archive into an executable self-decrypting archive, which can be opened by anyone with the correct password. On this month's disc you'll find the full Cypherus Student Version v2. |

Audio
Cleaning Lab trials Breathe new life into your old recordings. This software offers sound "cleaning" functions that will remove distracting noises and sound interference from music and other audio sources from records, cassettes, CD tracks, wav, or MP3 files. You can add effects too, such as echo and reverb, all calculated in real-time during playback. Experiment as much as you like, as editing is non-destructive to the original files. Functions include: the Declicker which eliminates crack and click noises; Decrackler which removes constant crackling; Denoiser erases banging or net-droning; and Dehisser removes analogue-band hissing. Other functions do away with noises from direct current and digital overdrive (or "clipping"). |
You can also edit or adjust volume and equalisation, or enhance the stereo panorama. In contrast to the equaliser, which only works on the currently available frequency, there's a brilliance enhancer, which calculates new harmonics from the residual material, to revitalise the overall sound. Finally, the "Multi Max" section works on the volume ratios with a multi-band compressor. It divides the spectrum into three bands that are compressed separately in the same fashion as professional studio equipment. Compression is important for balancing bass parts of a song. Resampling and stretching functions allow you to accelerate or slow down a song. You'll find trials of both version 1 and version 3 on this disc. |
