I have fully tested the latest version of iMovie and I am confident that it can be used to create digital stories.
Adobe Premiere Elements for Mac
September 21, 2010 by
I’m excited and doubtful about the arrival of Adobe Premiere Elements for Mac. Excited because it this could be a Mac solution for digital storytelling but dubious because it’s Adobe and my experience of their products and pricing is mixed.
Improve Encoding Quality in iDVD
May 19, 2010 by
If you want to improve the quality of DVDs that you burn with Apple’s iDVD I’ve just discovered something really useful.

April 22, 2008 by
Apple – Downloads – Aperture – Aperture BorderFX An Aperture export plug-in that allows you to add borders to images as you export them. If you are an Aperture user this free plugin is just brilliant. Add borders, text, and watermarks with a wide range of options. How did I live without it?
