Get the absolute best from your images with state-of-the-art image processing controls that work with raw files from more than 290 camera models as well as JPEG, TIFF, and other file formats. Make precise overall adjustments or correct targeted areas for just the look you want. Dodge and burn, convert to black-and-white, add grain, reduce noise, adjust sharpness, create vignettes, and more.

Be more productive and efficient, and enjoy the freedom and creativity that comes from working with excellent tools designed specifically for photographers. The intuitive environment and controls of Lightroom are easy to master and let you quickly and smoothly accomplish your essential photography tasks.

One-click adjustments for multiple images

Flickr integration
Use Lightroom seamlessly with Flickr, a Yahoo! service. When friends or clients post comments and ratings on your Flickr galleries, you can immediately see their feedback in the Lightroom 3 Library alongside your images.

Fast performance across platforms
Speed up day-to-day imaging tasks and process your images faster by taking advantage of cross-platform 64-bit support. Use the advanced memory handling capabilities of the latest Mac OS and Windows operating systems.

Develop presets
Save time by instantly applying favorite looks to images. When you've perfected a look that you particularly like for an image—a high-contrast black-and-white effect or a super saturated color look, for example—you simply save the settings as a preset and apply it to your other photographs at any time. Many presets are included with Lightroom, and thousands more are available from the thriving worldwide community of Lightroom photographers and experts.

Easy-to-share slide show videos with music
Show your images to clients, friends, or family with more style and flair using elegant slide shows with music. Slide shows are a breeze to create, and you can share them easily by exporting them as videos, even in high definition.

Tethered shooting
Instantly import and view images as you shoot them with tethered capture, available for select cameras. Use it to make an immediate, highly detailed check of your shot, the lighting, or the shooting setup. Or get instant feedback from clients or subjects.

Tight Photoshop integration
Select one or multiple photos and then automatically open them in Adobe Photoshop for detailed, pixel-level editing or to merge multiple photos into a panorama, a high dynamic range photo, or a multilayered file. After making your edits in Photoshop, see the results immediately back in Lightroom.

Adobe Ships Creative Suite 5

2010-12-08T05:05:00.000-08:00

Breakthrough Interactive Design Tools and Innovative Online Services Maximize Impact of Creative Content and Digital Marketing Campaigns

SAN JOSE, Calif., — April 30, 2010 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the availability of the Adobe® Creative Suite® 5 product family, the highly-anticipated release of the industry-leading design and development software for virtually every creative workflow. With more than 250 new product features, the Creative Suite 5 product line brings exciting full-version upgrades of flagship creative tools and workflow enhancements to designers and developers — enabling the creation, delivery and optimization of content across media for greater impact and results.

The Adobe CS5 product family is powering the creation of content and applications for the upcoming releases of Flash® Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR® 2, which are optimized for high performance on mobile screens and designed to take advantage of native device capabilities for a richer, more immersive user experience.

Featuring integration with online content and digital marketing measurement and optimization capabilities for the first time, Creative Suite 5 products include access to signature Omniture® technologies, to capture, store and analyze information generated by websites and other sources. Adobe Creative Suite 5 products also integrate with Adobe CS Live*, a set of five innovative online services that accelerate key aspects of the creative workflow and enable designers to focus on creating their best work (CS Live services are complimentary for a limited time).

The Creative Suite 5 line-up includes five new versions: Creative Suite 5 Master Collection, Creative Suite 5 Design Premium, Creative Suite 5 Web Premium, Creative Suite 5 Production Premium, Creative Suite 5 Design Standard, as well as 15 point products and associated technologies. Creative Suite now includes a brand-new component, Adobe Flash® Catalyst™, a professional interaction design tool that allows designers to rapidly create expressive Web application interfaces and design interaction without writing cod

“We’ve seen from early customer reaction that Creative Suite 5 continues to inspire the design and developer world by combining time-saving workflow and productivity features with astonishing new capabilities, such as Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5, that really push the creative envelope,” said John Loiacono, senior vice president of Creative Solutions at Adobe. “Whatever the media, CS5 is ensuring that publishers and creatives can deliver stand-out work and build great businesses around their unique digital assets and content.”

Also available as part of the Creative Suite 5 product family, sold separately or in one of the five Creative Suite editions, are new versions of the Adobe Creative Suite tools, including Photoshop® CS5, Illustrator® CS5, InDesign® CS5, Flash Catalyst CS5, Flash CS5 Professional, Dreamweaver® CS5, Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS5, After Effects® CS5 and more. The Creative Suite 5 products offer more than 250 new features that embrace interactivity, enhance performance and maximize the impact of creative content and digital marketing campaigns. InDesign CS5 powers the transition to digital publishing with new interactive documents and enhanced electronic reader device support. Image creation and editing get a boost with Truer Edge technology in Photoshop CS5, which offers better edge detecting technology and masking results in less time. Photoshop CS5 also includes the ability to remove an image element and immediately replace the missing pixels with Content-Aware Fill. New stroke options allow Adobe Illustrator CS5 users to create strokes of variable widths and precisely adjust the width at any point along the stroke. New Text Layout Framework in Flash Professional CS5 provides professional-level typography capabilities with functions like kerning, ligatures, tracking, leading, threaded text block and multiple columns. In addition, Dreamweaver CS5 now supports popular content management systems Drupal, Joomla! and WordPress, allowing designers to get accurate views of dynamic Web content from within the product.

Performance improvements abound in the Creative Suite 5 product line with engineering breakthroughs, including native 64-bit support on both Mac and Windows® in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, that allows users to work more fluidly on high-resolution projects. The much anticipated NVIDIA® GPU-accelerated Adobe Mercury Playback Engine allows Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 users to open projects faster, refine effects-rich HD sequences in real time and play back complex projects without rendering. The revolutionary timesaving Roto Brush tool in After Effects helps users isolate moving foreground elements in a fraction of the normal time.

Accelerate Creative Workflows with Adobe CS Live Adobe Creative Suite 5 products integrate with Adobe CS Live*, a set of five online services that accelerate key aspects of the creative workflow and enable designers to focus on creating their best work. CS Live online services are complimentary for a limited time and currently include: Adobe BrowserLab, Adobe CS Review, Acrobat.com, Adobe Story and SiteCatalyst® NetAverages™ from Omniture. Adobe CS Review enables online design reviews from directly in Creative Suite 5 applications, while Adobe BrowserLab is an indispensable tool for testing website content across different browsers and operating systems. NetAverages provides Web usage data that helps reduce the guesswork early in the creative process when designing for Web and mobile. Adobe Story is a collaborative scriptwriting tool that improves production and post-production workflows in CS5 Production Premium. Access to Acrobat.com services, such as Adobe ConnectNow Web conferencing, is also included to enhance discussion and information exchange with colleagues and clients around the glob

AVG LinkScanner for Mac

2010-12-08T04:54:00.000-08:00

Surf, shop and social network knowing that you, your identity, and your personal information are always safe.

Why AVG LinkScanner ?

How online criminals are leveraging search engine optimization

1. One trick online criminals use to lure victims to rogue sites is taking advantage of a popular news story and using search engine optimization techniques to rank the results of their poisoned pages higher in search results.
2. They hunt and prey on poorly defended websites and upload plenty of materials relevant to the particular news story.
3. The example below seems quite inoffensive at first glance. The truth, however, is that the last three links listed lead to malicious pages that will try to sabotage your system.
4. Online criminals employ these exact same techniques two to three times a week - every time there’s a major news story in fact.

This is where AVG LinkScanner® comes in. It scans the pages behind the link you’re interested in to see if it leads to a genuine site. If it detects something suspicious, it simply prevents you from visiting the page.

How it Works

Search and Surf-Shield

AVG LinkScanner has two key features that protect you:

* Surf-Shield scans pages behind their links before you click on them. It does the same thing every time you enter a web address into your browser. If the page is infected, it simply prevents you from opening it.
* Search-Shield scans your Google, Yahoo! and Bing search results and places a safety rating next to each link, letting you know which sites can be trusted and which are to be avoided.

Online criminals are getting smarter, but we're always ahead of them.
Our real-time AVG LinkScanner® detects threats the only time it matters - before you land on the page.

Kaspersky Lab and Tencent Form Partnership to Deliver Premium Mobile Security Services

2010-12-08T04:23:00.000-08:00

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content and threat management solutions, and Tencent, China's leading Internet services provider, announced that they have recently signed an agreement to integrate Kaspersky Lab's mobile Anti-Virus technology into Tencent's QQ Security Expert. The two companies have launched a joint initiative to raise users' awareness of the need for smartphone protection and are developing technologies for mobile security aimed at providing smartphone users, with more advanced, bespoke security services.

In the past, mobile security has not been taken very seriously by device users, it simply wasn't a priority, but things are now very different. With the development of the 3G industry in China, mobile phones have evolved from a simple communication tool into a multifunctional and smart mobile endpoint. However, the latest technology is a double-edged sword, as a series of complex vulnerabilities in smartphone protection have come to light even while the technology has become an almost indispensible part of modern life and operational efficiency has improved considerably. In recent years, the emergence of SMS spam, mobile viruses, spyware and other malware aimed specifically at smartphones has become a serious threat to users' privacy, personal account information and even business information. There have, in addition, also been incidents of fraud against mobile devices initiated through the use of malware.

As the largest antivirus company in Europe, Kaspersky Lab has been delivering some of the world's most immediate protection against IT security threats, the company's goodwill in this industry is also widely acknowledged by Chinese users. Tencent, the leading Internet services provider in China has recently established mobile security system centers to operate the QQ Security Expert, in order to better serve its large user base in the country. The cooperation between the two companies will no doubt have a positive influence on the industry, where millions of users will benefit from it.

"Throughout the planning and preparation of this project I was impressed with the open attitude of Tencent and its customer-oriented thinking," said Harry Cheung. “It's a great pleasure to be working in partnership with Tencent, as we begin to provide smartphone users in China with even more professional security services.

Tel Liu, the President of Tencent Mobile Value Added Services Division said, "Kaspersky Lab is a leading global antivirus vendor, their reputation and strong technologies are the foundation of our partnership. We are fully confident that we will be able to provide users with professional and comprehensive mobile security protection by integrating Kaspersky Lab's antivirus technology with our own."

Providing effective protection to smartphone users will be an important task for antivirus vendors in the future. Through the partnership between the two companies, smartphone mobile phone users will experience a unique and more effective protection service which integrates Kaspersky Lab's mobile security technology and Tencent's own antivirus product. Through this partnership, Kaspersky Lab will enhance its leading position in the Chinese market, while providing its world-class antivirus technology to more smartphone mobile phone users.
About Kaspersky Lab

Kaspersky Lab is the largest antivirus company in Europe. It delivers some of the world's most immediate protection against IT security threats, including viruses, spyware, crimeware, hackers, phishing, and spam. The company is ranked among the world's top four vendors of security solutions for endpoint users. Kaspersky Lab products provide superior detection rates and one of the industry's fastest outbreak response times for home users, SMBs, large enterprises and the mobile computing environment. Kaspersky® technology is also used worldwide inside the products and services of the industry's leading IT security solution providers. Learn more at: www.kaspersky.com.

About Tencent

Tencent is one of China's largest and most popular Internet service portals. Since its establishment over the last decade, Tencent has maintained steady growth under its user-oriented operating strategies. It is Tencent's mission to enhance the quality of human life through Internet services. Presently, Tencent is providing value-added Internet, mobile and telecom services and online advertising under the strategic goal of providing users with "one-stop online lifestyle services". As of September 30, 2010, the active QQ users' accounts for QQ IM amounted to 636.6 million while its peak concurrent users reached 118.7 million. The development of Tencent has profoundly influenced the ways hundreds of millions of Internet users communicate with one another as well as their lifestyles. It also brings possibilities of a wider range of applications to the China's Internet industry.
