Horizon Fixer for Final Cut Pro X Released by FxFactory - Published on 02/13/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Boston based FxFactory today introduces Horizon Fixer, the newest powerhouse plugin from CineFlare. Created exclusively for use with Final Cut Pro X, Horizon Fixer is the solution for replicating a beautiful horizon in post without the fear of it appearing crooked or unnatural. Quickly and easily fix a horizon in FCP X without ever setting a single key frame. Just drag and drop the effect onto a clip on the timeline and begin making your desired adjustments to the parameters.

Boston, Massachusetts - FxFactory, developer of visual effects tools for the post-production and broadcast markets, introduces Horizon Fixer, the newest powerhouse plugin from CineFlare. Created exclusively for use with Final Cut Pro X, Horizon Fixer is the solution for replicating a beautiful horizon in post without the fear of it appearing crooked or unnatural. Horizon Fixer is now available through FxFactory for just 49 USD.

The tool allows the user to quickly and easily adjust the landscape as it changes throughout the length of the clip without having to set key frames. For further customization and to suit each user's personalized needs, the animation can also be offset for the start and end of the clip to delay the horizon movement. As is standard for CineFlare and FxFactory, Horizon Fixer is incredibly simple to use, allowing for more time to be spent on bringing creative ideas to life rather than maneuvering through difficult technology. Just drag and drop the effect onto a clip on the timeline and begin making your desired adjustments to the parameters.

Main Controls:
Use Horizon Fixer to level a changing horizon line that spans the entire length of a clip by putting your cursor at the beginning and end of the clip and setting the angles desired. The tool can also be used to create horizons that do not start panning until further into the clip. The beginning and ending can be manipulated by fixing the start and end offsets to where the camera starts panning. Horizon Fixer will hold your animation until the editor's preferred ending point. Toggle the "Show Affected Frames" checkbox to see the exact frames of a clip that will be affected by the moving horizon animation. Use the "Movement Ease" slider to set the ease amount to the movement if desired.

Guide Controls:
There are two types of guides that can be toggled on and off. The first is a horizontal and vertical line that can each be moved to match the subject in footage to better help you align the horizon. The second is a grid guide. This guide layers a grid across footage for even further precision.

Basic Horizon Fixer:
Horizon Fixer also includes a basic horizon fixer that sets a constant line in case footage does not require the animation. Simply set your perfect horizon angle and you're done.

About CineFlare:
Launched in September 2012, CineFlare is a special effects company born out of DSLRcinema. CineFlare creates flare effects, templates, and color grades to be used in Final Cut Pro X and other editing software.

Fully compatible with different Mac OS versions including the latest OS X 10.9 Mavericks, GraphicConverter 9.1 also includes enhancements to existing functionality and several new features such as non-destructive image editing and undo in the browser.

Peine, Germany - Longtime Macintosh developer and publisher, Lemke Software GmbH today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of GraphicConverter 9.1, an important update to its popular image utility for Mac OS X. A PCMag Editor's Choice Recipient, GraphicConverter is an all-around image editing program that features image conversion from more than 200 file formats.

GraphicConverter will also export the altered image to all of the supported formats.

In the newest version of GraphicConverter, most of the file and folder operations performed in the application's own browser can be undone. For example, if a file or folder is deleted accidentally, the user can press Command-Z or choose Undo from the Edit menu to restore it.

There are a variety of additions including the ability to drag vertical or horizontal by pressing the shift key, modifications to the menus and toolbox, and browsing capability of local copies of cloud services like DropBox, SkyDrive, Copy, Amazon Cloud and Google Drive. GraphicConverter also has the ability to convert to color profile and extract images from PDF to concert and modify. Additional new features include:

* added average batch and effect

* added attach to e-mail menu item
* added fast mode to improved speed of operator dramatically
* added antialias for pen tool
* added crop content batch
* added option to show a RAW indicator for raw files in the browser
* added option to show the label color larger in the browser
* added save, undo and redo icons to the toolbox
* added convert to color profile
* added copy foreground/background color as html to edit/copy/ submenu
* added support for ithmb files with JPEG compressed content
* added option to display color mode of images in browser

Furthermore, GraphicConverter 9.1 has made several enhancements to existing functionality. They are:

* Option to disable storage of printer settings added
* Manual rename of a single file in the browser will now also rename an existing xmp file
* Save for Web opens the save file panel with only the filename selected
* Browser will ignore "InodeMetaMod" events from network drives to avoid too many refreshes
* Extraction of jpeg thumbnails from exif data will store the thumbs with the source file date
* Xe847 preview supports the display with color profile
* 16-bit per channel support to import and export of png added
* Improved concat in convert and modify
* Improved notification dialog if a camera is connected
* Core image filters preview uses the color profile (if available)

MacReview concurs. "GraphicConverter is quite powerful and could be easily compared to a Photoshop, for example. Conversion is quite fast and effortless, and could be done individually or in batches of images. GraphicConverter is a very helpful application. It performs well, and cleverly combines a browser, converter, and an image editor." (9 Mar 2013)

"The idea for GraphicConverter occurred more than twenty years ago when I wanted to convert my entire picture collection into one of the standard Mac formats," says GraphicConverter founder, Thorsten Lemke. "Unfortunately there weren't any programs available that could do this so I created a program to accomplish this job myself. When I finally offered GraphicConverter to other users on a shareware basis, an impressive track record of successes began. Today GraphicConverter has more than 1.5 million users worldwide and is one of the most used and loved programs on the shareware market. This program has even impressed Apple, who include GraphicConverter as a pre-installed application on many of their computers.

"GraphicConverter's level of success is naturally based upon the quality of the program but also to the commitment of loyal GraphicConverter users everywhere," Lemke continues. "Their suggestions and ideas have actively supported the development of the program and helped us develop this conversion tool into the professional image editing program it is today. This close corroboration with our users is an important reason why qualified and timely support is a mandate at Lemkesoft. For example, every day I personally answer between 200 to 300 e-mails from users worldwide. Additionally, there are regular program updates which add new or extended features to GraphicConverter on a nearly monthly basis. The main focus and passion of Lemkesoft is focused on the maintenance and further development of GraphicConverter - a product which, for many users, is as natural a part of their Mac as Apple's operating system itself."

Language Support:
* English, German, French, Italian, Swedish, Czech, Japanese, Chinese (traditional and simplified)

Device Requirements:
* OS X 10.7 or later

Notebooks 7 - Redesigned for iOS 7, Cleaner Interface and New Features - Published on 02/13/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Alfons Schmid announces Notebooks 7, a major upgrade to his productivity app for iPhone and iPad devices. Notebooks includes a text processor for plain text, rich text, and Markdown text, provides space to store and organize files and documents, and supports complex task management. Version 7 features a cleaner interface based on iOS 7, adds support for iOS 7 features like AirDrop and includes new methods to create eBooks in ePub format.

Salzburg, Austria - Alfons Schmid is proud to announce the release of Notebooks 7 for iPad and iPhone, a major upgrade to his text processing app, which organizes notes, documents and projects in multiple hierarchies and integrates task management. This unique combination ensures an uninterrupted train of thoughts when creating documents, consulting supportive documentation, producing ideas, breaking them down into tasks and assigning them to their designated lists.

Notebooks 7 appears with a new, clean interface inspired by iOS 7, adds support for iOS 7 features like AirDrop and provides new methods to turn selected documents or whole hierarchies of documents into eBooks in ePub format. The eBooks can easily be shared, opened and read in eBook Readers like Apple's iBooks and others.

Notebooks, originally designed to do away with paper notes, has evolved into a powerful productivity app and includes a text processor for plain text, rich text, and Markdown text, provides space to store and organize files and documents, and supports complex task management. Despite its power, Notebooks strives to be light weight. It allows users to selectively turn functionality on and off, which keeps the user interface as simple or as complex as the user wants.

Users can create beautifully formatted documents using WYSIWYG style editing, create formatted HTML using Markdown, or simply type plain text notes, and all while using custom fonts, colors, and patterns. A user-defined row of extra keys for characters that are hard to reach on the built-in keyboard allows customization and provides timesaving shortcuts. It is easy to convert between formats, or to turn a document into PDF or even an eBook.

Notebooks supports unlimited nested structures (books) to organize documents by topics, subjects, projects or any personal preferences. This makes it easy to separate private notes from business documents, client data from journal entries, school subjects from each other and so on.

A book in Notebooks displays its contents either as a list of documents, or as a list of tasks with due dates and alert times (if desired). Task lists can be nested, too, which allows users to split complex projects into smaller, less intimidating packages which are easy to manage.

Notebooks handles all of a user's notes and documents like HTML, RTF, PDF, MS Office, iWork, photos, videos or web archives. It features a number of options that facilitate import, export and synchronization between multiple devices (iOS, Mac and PC), with Dropbox and WebDAV sync being two of the most prominent. With its unique combination of features, Notebooks has the potential to replace multiple apps:

* Text Editor
* Word Processor
* Task Manager
* File Organizer
* Markdown Composer (and HTML to Markdown converter)
* PDF Converter
* eBook Creator

Whether users want to draft or outline a business presentation, type a chapter of a short-story, list inventory, save web pages for reading later, write an entry in a diary or journal, tick off tasks, or just capture notes and ideas on the go, Notebooks is the all-inclusive note application that will effortlessly handle all tasks.

"Write and store all your journals, ideas, notes, drafts, diaries, projects, and task lists with ease," stated independent developer Alfons Schmid. "Notebooks is the one and only notebook that you'll ever need."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 12.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Notebooks 7 (v7.0.1) is $12.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Notebooks for Mac OS and Windows, desktop versions that synchronize and integrate with Notebooks for iPad and iPhone, are currently available for free from the Notebooks website.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Finnish developer, Adapkit today introduces Circuit-Breaker 1.0.0, its new game title developed for iOS and Android devices. Circuit-Breaker is a quick reaction game with a Steam Punk style.

Tension builds and as each fuse is cut - another appears - burning faster and faster. There are no winners, only losers who hang on for longer. The game features a Victorian steam punk style that is very distinctive. The design is based on old engineering diagrams and has been given a rough colored print look.

"Circuit-Breaker is a great little timewaster, perfect for a few moments escape in the day. It was quick to make - and it's fun to play" says game designer Steve Ellis.

Players can share their score and challenge friends from inside the game - as well as seeing how they rate against the "fastest fingers in the world".

DEVONagent 3.7 with new Twitter scanner and more - Published on 02/13/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates its smart Internet research assistant DEVONagent to version 3.7 with a new Twitter link scanner, improved visual appearance, and bug fixes. The update is absolutely free and recommended for all users. In addition DEVONagent Pro 3.7 received a more elegant styling for multiple selected items as well as updated search sets, scanners, and action scripts. All editions of DEVONagent, from Lite to Pro, come with updated plugins for JSTOR, SEC, and Technorati.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - Social media becomes essential also for serious research. If it's important someone probably tweeted about it somewhere. DEVONagent Pro already searches Twitter, starting with version 3.7 it also scans found pages for links containing Twitter IDs and reports them. It was never easier to find people on Twitter to follow for relevant news!

In addition DEVONagent Pro 3.7 received a more elegant styling for multiple selected items as well as updated search sets, scanners, and action scripts. All editions of DEVONagent, from Lite to Pro, come with updated plugins for JSTOR, SEC, and Technorati.

Plugins contain everything DEVONagent needs to connect to search engines and talk to them in their own search language. Most plugins are written in human-readable XML and can be created using an easy-to-use assistant built right into DEVONagent Pro. No excuses left for still searching that some specialized search engine manually.

"Search engines organize the knowledge of the world and help you find them. At least that's the promise. But not every search engine knows about everything. So if you really want to be sure that you've completely covered the field make sure to use DEVONagent Pro - and let your supervisor know," comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.

Availability and pricing:
All editions of DEVONagent require an Intel-based Mac and OS X 10.6.8 or later (in the App Store: OS X 10.8.3 or later). The applications can be downloaded from DEVONtechnologies and be test-driven for free before they need to be properly licensed; in addition they are also available via the Mac App Store.
