Nattress Releases First FxFactory Based Filters for FCP and AE - Published on 01/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Noise Industries' latest partnership with Nattress Productions brings a finer degree of image control to the editor through Levels and Curves, a filter pack that allows users to color grade in film-log space. Editors have all the benefits of fine control over the tones in an image and film-like contrast handling. The new curve-based color adjustment plug-in, available now on FxFactory 3, is compatible with Final Cut Pro 6, 7 & X; Motion 3, 4 and 5; & Adobe After Effects CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5.

Boston, Massachusetts - Noise Industries' latest partnership with Nattress Productions brings a finer degree of image control to the editor through Levels and Curves, a filter pack that allows users to color grade in film-log space. The new curve-based color adjustment plug-in, available now on FxFactory 3, is compatible with Final Cut Pro(R) 6, 7 and X; Motion 3, 4 and 5; and Adobe(R) After Effects(R) CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5. Offered at 29 USD, users can download a free trial version of Nattress Levels and Curves.

Nattress Levels and Curves feature highlights include:

Film-Log Space - Editors have all the benefits of fine control over the tones in an image and film-like contrast handling.

On-Screen Curve Display - The on-screen curve display helps editors fine-tune curve and/or level adjustments. The curve display can easily be turned off when footage adjustment is completed.

Library of Presets - Users can quickly apply popular level corrections, or create and save custom presets to use again and again.

Levels - The Black and White level inputs and outputs can be easily set, plus gamma curve control allows for fast and functional levels control.

Curves RGB - Individual control over the RGB channels in an image is made simple. The control set is duplicated for each channel allowing for precise control over image tones and colors.

Curves Luma - Users can work on the luma component of an image only. When a user adjusts luma curves, it only alters how bright or dark the tones of the image appear; color and saturation are not affected.

Curves - Curves work in RGB space equally across all three channels. As contrast increases, so does the perception of image saturation.

Levels and Curves Tutorial
Users can learn more about Nattress Levels and Curves by watching the online tutorial.

Visit Sherwood Forest in The Adventures of Robin Hood, a New Educational App for Kids Ages 3 to 10. An engaging interactive storybook from Chocolapps (formerly known as So Ouat) debuts today on the App Store. The tale transports children ages 3 to 10 to Sherwood Forest, where notorious outlaw Robin Hood and his band of merry men steal from the rich so they can give to the poor. Kids can explore enhanced interactions and robust learning features.

Paris, France - Chocolapps, an independent developer of educational apps for children (formerly known as So Ouat), is kicking off their 2012 lineup with The Adventures of Robin Hood for iOS. Released today on the App Store, this engaging interactive tale transports children ages 3 to 10 to Sherwood Forest, where notorious outlaw Robin Hood and his band of merry men steal from the rich so they can give to the poor.

The newest installment in an award-winning series of interactive storybooks, The Adventures of Robin Hood recounts the medieval excitement of Sherwood Forest with colorful, appealing artwork and captivating "pop-up" animations. Kids can explore enhanced interactions and robust learning features with the HD version for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch (USD $3.99). Or, they can simply enjoy the story with the streamlined standard version for iPhone and iPod touch (USD $0.99). Both versions are fully localized into seven languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch and Russian.

Like the company's other apps, The Adventures of Robin Hood accommodates young readers of all skill levels by providing both on-screen text and audio narration, and its simple touch interface has been specially designed for small fingers. Robin Hood readers can also view a full-screen cartoon video of the story - a brand new feature making its debut with this release. Plus, the HD version includes engaging mini-games set during Robin Hood's climactic moments, giving kids the chance to find the hooded Robin in a crowd, compete in a high-stakes archery tournament, and storm Prince John's castle to rescue Maid Marian.

Interactive learning features integrated into the HD version of Robin Hood include touch pronunciation (touch a word to hear it spoken), "explain to me" (a word's definition and its opposite are given, to provide context for unfamiliar words), "show me" (an illustration displays to represent a word), and "Karaoke reading" (a fun tool that helps children learn to read the story themselves).

New Chocolapps interactive storybooks coming up in 2012 include Snow White, The Little Mermaid and more. To learn more about The Adventures of Robin Hood and Chocolapps' other educational offerings, visit the company's website.

GroupLogic Furthers Support for Mac OS X Lion with ExtremeZ-IP 7.3

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Wed Jan 25, 2012 8:45 am (PST)



GroupLogic Furthers Support for Mac OS X Lion with ExtremeZ-IP 7.3 - Published on 01/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GroupLogic, the industry's leading provider of software that unlock the power of new enterprise platforms, announced the latest version of its ExtremeZ-IP product, the only solution that empowers enterprise IT to seamlessly integrate Mac into existing Windows infrastructure. The newest iteration of ExtremeZ-IP furthers an organization's ability to integrate Apple in the Enterprise policies and ensure seamless operations in the face of constant changes in desktop and server operating systems.

Arlington, Virginia - Today, GroupLogic, the industry's leading provider of software products that unlock the power of new enterprise platforms, announced the latest version of its ExtremeZ-IP product, the only solution that empowers enterprise IT to seamlessly integrate Mac into existing Windows infrastructure. The newest iteration of ExtremeZ-IP furthers an organization's ability to integrate Apple in the Enterprise policies and ensure seamless operations in the face of constant changes in desktop and server operating systems.

As reported by the website AllThingsD.com, Forrester Research's latest Global Tech Market Outlook states that enterprises will spend $19 Billion on Apple hardware in 2012 - which is 68 percent more iPads and 45 percent more Macs than purchased in 2011. These numbers do not include the cost of the hundreds of thousands of Mac computers analysts predict will be brought into the enterprise by employees due to the popularity of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend.

Although Apple in the Enterprise presents boundless benefits, including hardware cost savings and more satisfied and more productive employees, the hurdle of integrating Apple operating systems such as Lion into existing Windows-based server environments poses many challenges for IT organizations. ExtremeZ-IP addresses this problem for enterprises by enabling the simple and rapid support and integration of Mac into Windows server environments. To see how it works, view a video on the GroupLogic website.

For two decades, GroupLogic has focused on enabling the seamless integration of Apple products into enterprise infrastructure. With many enterprises allowing employees to bring their own devices and purchase Mac computers directly, the need to provide the same user experience, regardless of the computing platform, becomes a requirement for IT organizations, no matter the industry.

"Today's release continues GroupLogic's commitment to making it even easier for enterprise IT administrators to integrate the latest Mac operating systems and Apple devices into their networks," said GroupLogic VP of Marketing and Product Management Anders Lofgren. "As Apple in the Enterprise explodes, GroupLogic is extremely well-positioned to take advantage of this trend by enabling our existing 6,000 customers, along with new ones, to embrace the trend and keep IT management simple, seamless and affordable."

ExtremeZ-IP 7.3 upgrades focus on performance optimizations and reliability and compatibility improvements, with continued full support for Apple's Lion operating system. For a full list of features, please visit the GroupLogic website.

ExtremeZ-IP 7.3 is available today as a free upgrade to existing customers under maintenance contract, and can be purchased by new customers via the GroupLogic web store. GroupLogic also offers a free trial of ExtremeZ-IP for interested IT organizations and has two pricing options for enterprises, including enterprise subscription licensing (ESL) and perpetual licensing.

With more than two decades of experience, GroupLogic leads the marketplace in helping IT organizations effectively and easily manage the integration of Apple products into the enterprise ecosystem.

Firetask for Mac 2.0 to Include New Calendar and Organize Views

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Wed Jan 25, 2012 9:00 am (PST)



Firetask for Mac 2.0 to Include New Calendar and Organize Views - Published on 01/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Firetask for Mac 2.0 includes amazing new features such as a drag & drop-enabled "Organize" view, a filterable "Calendar" view and searching in active task lists. Firetask lets you focus on the most important due and next tasks across all projects by combining concepts from GTD with practical elements of traditional task management such as due dates and priorities. Other new features include custom repeat patterns, time-based reminders via Growl, and emailing of project and category task lists.

Graz, Austria - Individual developer Gerald Aquila announced that Firetask for Mac 2.0, a free major update to the only task management application effectively combining GTD and traditional task management elements, is available today as a download from the Mac App Store for $39.99. Some of the amazing new features include a drag & drop-enabled "Organize" view that was previously only available on the iPad, a filterable "Calendar" view and the functionality of searching in active task lists.

"Firetask for Mac 2.0 represents a quantum leap compared to earlier versions of our desktop app and we are eager to see what our users think about the new version", said Gerald Aquila. "Bringing the Organize view to the Mac helps tremendously with weekly GTD reviews and the new dynamic Calendar view provides a unique overview across scheduled tasks."

Additional new features include custom repeat patterns for scheduled tasks, time-based reminders via Growl, and emailing of project and category task lists. Firetask's user interface also got a facelift including a more GTD-like tool navigation, a completely redesigned graphical date chooser, improved drag & drop due to double-click enabled inline-editing and support for fullscreen mode on Mac OS X Lion (10.7). iPhone and iPad users of Firetask should load the new iOS versions that are launched together with the Mac version to take full advantage of improved cloud-syncing and support for time-based reminders and syncing of custom repeats.

Firetask lets you focus on the most important due and next tasks across all projects by combining concepts from David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) approach with practical elements of classical task management such as due dates and priorities. Its unique "Waiting For" list makes it easy to keep track of delegated tasks and its highly visual user interface improves the clarity of task lists without overloading them. Unlike other task management apps, Firetask explicitly organizes all tasks into projects and thus, makes it easier to manage great numbers of open tasks.

Firetask for Mac is available through the Mac App Store for $39.99 (US). Firetask for iPad and Firetask for iPhone/iPod touch are available through the iTunes App Store for $9.99 and $5.99 respectively. A free 15-day trial version of Firetask for Mac can be downloaded for free from the Firetask website.

Barnyard Bluegrass Brings Timeless Tunes to Tots

Barnyard Bluegrass Brings Timeless Tunes to Tots - Published on 01/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Whynoceros is pleased to announce Barnyard Bluegrass, an interactive music education playground app for iPhone and iPad. The app comes complete with classic kids songs, chances to play all the instruments, a porch to "jam" on and more. Favorites like Old MacDonald and Hole in the Bucket get a bluegrass twist alongside old-timey classics like Turkey in the Straw and Blue Railroad Train. Kids can really dig into the music and instruments, with plenty of opportunity for making music of their own.

Portland, Oregon - Are you tired of hearing the same torturous music from your child's favorite app? Barnyard Bluegrass is here to help! This lovable band of animated farm animals comes equipped with banjos, fiddles, basses, mandolins and guitars and they aren't afraid to use them. Offering seven complete songs - with accompanying read along lyrics - children can enjoy fantastic on-demand music using an interface simple enough for a toddler. Perhaps more importantly, parents may find themselves asking to turn the volume up, rather than down.

As if that wasn't enough, there are three other areas of the app where visitors can delve deeper into the genre and make music of their own. Users can select an instrument and play it using a simple one-finger controller, read about the instruments and hear samples, or head to the farmer's porch and jam with the entire band. Each area offers a different perspective on the music and gives young learners plenty of room to explore and create.

Tapping into children's existing love of song, Barnyard Bluegrass offers "yee-haw worthy" renditions of classics like Old MacDonald, Turkey in the Straw, and Hole in the Bucket. For a more traditional taste of the style, there are several ageless bluegrass standards, namely: Pig in a Pen, Blue Railroad Train, Cluck Old Hen, and Nine Pound Hammer. To bring this much loved genre to life, we called upon Astrograss, a fixture in both the New York City Bluegrass and Kids Music Scene, to perform and record just those tunes that would best connect to young users. All music was recorded and mixed at Inner Harbor Studios, NYC and was mastered specifically for Apple devices.

Barnyard Bluegrass is available in both LITE and FULL ($1.99) versions and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Early Praise for Barnyard Bluegrass:

* "What more can I say? Barnyard Bluegrass is a must-download app." - Lunch Box Reviews

* "I wasn't sure what to expect from Barnyard Bluegrass and I really like what I found. If you're looking for a musical app that breaks away from the piano then this app definitely deserves a look." - theiPhoneMom.com

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 19.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Barnyard Bluegrass Pocket Edition 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Juggleware Announces Sol: Sun Clock for iPhone

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Thu Jan 26, 2012 3:01 am (PST)



Juggleware Announces Sol: Sun Clock for iPhone - Published on 01/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Juggleware LLC today announces Sol: Sun Clock 1.1, an update to their conceptual weather utility and alarm clock for iOS devices. Perfect for photographers and the outdoors, Sol: Sun Clock lets you set alarms based on sunrise, sunset, golden hour and other events. It features a spin-able dial that lets you look at different parts of the day, which are color-coded to represent daytime, nighttime, and twilight periods. Surrounded by clouds, sun, and the stars, it's a fun way to look at the day.

New Orleans, Louisiana - Juggleware today is thrilled to announce that their new conceptual weather utility and alarm clock Sol: Sun Clock 1.0 is now available exclusively for the iPhone and iPod touch. Among the unique features of Sol: Sun Clock is a spin-able dial that lets you look at different parts of the day, which are color-coded to represent daytime, nighttime, and twilight periods. Surrounded by clouds, sun, and the stars, it's a fun way to look at the day beyond just a chart of sunset and sunrise times.

The user can also change his/her location and calendar date to see what the day will look like 6 months away or halfway around the world. For example, looking at northern Norway in midsummer will show how the midnight sun leaves no time for darkness in the day.

According to Juggleware staff, one of Sol: Sun Clock's most unique features is its flexible alarms which can be tied to any interval from any event. Some examples: 10 minutes before sunrise, at solar noon, an hour before sunset, or when the sky is dark enough to see the stars.

"I created the app because I like to ride my bike in the evening." said Alec Vance, Juggleware's founder and lead developer. "I wanted an alarm to remind me on weekdays when I had an hour left of daylight, so I could take my bike ride on the levee before it got dark and catch the sunset on the Mississippi River."

Co-designer Josh Warren envisions this app will be useful for photographers and cinematographers. "It's great to be able to scout a location's daylight times, and in particular the all-important Golden Hour, even if the shoot is months away and in a different city or country." Other people that might find the app useful, Vance added, include gardeners, hunters, fishers, wedding planners, joggers, and vampires. "In the last case this app could save a life," he joked. "If vampires can be counted among the living."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* iOS 4.1 or later
* 4.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Sol: Sun Clock 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Weather category.

Zombie: The Rescue - Recipe for App Store Success Launches - Published on 01/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GOGN Entertainment today announces Zombie: The Rescue 1.0.1, their new puzzle/action genre crossover for iOS devices. The puzzle aspect of the game involves removing hostages from zombie-infested situations. Players must analyze the layout of their temporary prisons and formulate an escape strategy without attracting zombie notice. Packed with special items and 60 stages, Zombie: The Rescue offers some old fashioned zombie smashing fun as well.

Seoul, Korea - GOGN Entertainment has just launched Zombie: The Rescue, a new puzzle/action genre crossover for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Beta test feedback as well as preliminary reports of the game "in the wild" suggest that the new game has what it takes to win over the notoriously fickle iOS casual gaming crowd.

The game's winning combination of puzzle-flavored action with the video game necessity du jour - zombies, of course - wouldn't be enough by themselves to guarantee the game chart topping success. But GOGN Entertainment has done more than design a game with crowd pleasing basics; the veteran game design company has incorporated those features into a polished, addictive format complete with exceptional art direction and sophisticated pacing.

The puzzle aspect of the game involves removing hostages from zombie-infested situations. To accomplish their save removal, players must analyze the layout of their temporary prisons and formulate an escape strategy without attracting zombie notice. Of course, this isn't always possible, which is where the game's action component plays a role. Packed with special items to help players navigate the game's five environments and 60 stages, Zombie: The Rescue offers some old fashioned zombie smashing fun as well.

The game's pick-up-and-play casual gaming charm is bound to be a hit with gamers across the board, while it's crisp, bright graphics and progressively challenging levels will cement the loyalty of fans who try the game out.

Features:
* Each of the 60 challenging stages poses a puzzle - guide hysterical hostages to safety
* 5 distinct environments provides the backdrop for 12 stages each
* Multiple zombie types require you to develop new strategies
* Not all hostages are alike! Your tactics must evolve to meet the needs of each of the zombies' victims
* Each scenario is unique - tiptoe out without bloodshed, or blast the zombies to smithereens, using your deadly item arsenal
* Game Center integration

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.1 or later
* 40.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Zombie: The Rescue 1.01 is $.99 and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. With plenty of levels, a three star system to master, and Game Center integration, that's a whole lot of play for under one dollar.

iOS strategy racing game Dash Race 3.5 out now with lots of new features - Published on 01/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Rombos today announces Dash Race 3.5.0, an update to its popular strategy racing game for iOS. Dash Race takes the classic and popular paper and pencil concept to a whole new level, and excels in creating a competitive challenge with amazing realistic driving behavior allowing you to take curves at crazy speeds, requiring courage, experience and dexterity. Version 3.5 offers lots of new features and improvements, having considered feedback of the constantly growing user base.

Rauenberg, Germany - Indie developer Rombos today updated its popular strategy racing game Dash Race to version 3.5 with lots of new features and improvements, especially considering the much appreciated feedback of the constantly growing user base.

Besides a new control schema that makes it very easy to complete your move, Dash Race 3.5 comes with a new optional background grid consisting of triangles instead of squares. Choosing this will require a completely different strategy to drive optimal curves and avoid obstacles. For an additional thrill, you can choose to make the grid invisible and so additionally challenge experienced drivers.

The exciting online multiplayer race via Game Center was extended by a text chat feature that allows players to communicate even if voice chat is unavailable or unwanted at the moment. And if a player is unintentionally disconnected during a game, it is now easy to continue the race where you left off once all players are available again.

Other improvements include more intelligent robots, better overall Game Center handling, a revised scoring system to better account for driving excellence, and the option of listening to your own iPod music during a race.

This big update is rounded off with a new free "go-where-you-like" space-theme track, plus various new achievements, especially the much asked for puzzle-type quests for completing tracks with a given minimal number of moves.

About the Game:
In Dash Race, up to 4 players make their moves in turn, following a very simple set of rules based on a classic and popular paper and pencil game; Dash Race takes this entertaining concept to a whole new level, and excels in creating a competitive challenge with amazing realistic driving behavior allowing you to take curves at crazy speeds, requiring courage, experience and dexterity!

Multiplayer racing is supported locally via Bluetooth and WiFi, and of course worldwide via Game Center. A lot of achievements and various leaderboards complete Dash Race's comprehensive features for a global competition with your friends and other Dash Race fans.

SimpleSort Counting: A Preschool app that teaches early math skills

SimpleSort Counting: A Preschool app that teaches early math skills - Published on 01/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KidsAndBeyond's first offshoot of the much acclaimed SimpleSort, SimpleSort:Counting 1.0 brings back our recognizable cloud helper & familiar objects and sorting buckets from the original, but goes one step further. Children aged 2-5 learn important early math skills in a fun, colorful, creative and engaging way. Each screen has a different game. The options to hear the number as you count and see the number reinforces the skill of counting out loud and getting familiar with the written number.

Lexington, Massachusetts - KidsAndBeyond today presents the first offshoot of the much acclaimed SimpleSort, SimpleSort:Counting. This app focuses on early math skills such as: counting, sorting, ordering, and comparing numbers for children that are at the preschool level.

Each screen has a different game. The options to hear the number as you count and see the number reinforces the skill of counting out loud and getting familiar with the written number. By placing numbers on a number line from 1-10, children get a visual sense of number placement and order. Counting objects and seeing sets of objects teaches kids to compare two numbers by visually assessing which group has more or less. Addition is introduced very subtly again by visually combing two groups and counting the objects in each group to get a sum less than 10.

SimpleSort: Counting includes
* A helper cloud and narrator to guide the child through the app
* A text-based help screen for parents to read
* Choice of numbered buckets from 1-10 with an option to play the game with 3,4,5, or 6 buckets
* 3 different game options, including "Count, Sort, and Place in Order," "Count and Add" and "Count and Compare"
* Option to play all three games consecutively or one at a time
* Voiceover narration that names each number as child touches corresponding objects

Minimum Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* 19 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SimpleSort:Counting 1.0 is $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.
