Thanks to hooikeat …. who introduced me to this nice little apps called Poladroid Image Maker . It made the photo into a polaroid format with its own processing. It is quite refreshing for the computer to decide the crop angle, colour and contrast.. an all refreshing look at my own photos from another person’s view.
This is not a new thing to many, but it is certainly the first for me to try, have fun ;)

If you are looking for photo management tool! i think Picasa 3 is good tool to try.
The software now has the ability to support up to a million photos on your computer and plenty of other improvements like screen capture, retouch images, cropping, Add text or watermarks, create/edit movies and many other features and changes.

Another nice feature call “Picase Photo Viewer” which you must enable during the installation process! The aforementioned quick-view tool that opens when you double-click an image file, haha…just the “looks” and “feels”… anytime better then “window photo viewer lah” wahahah ;)

See more new features in Picasa 3 Video!, really help a lot!

Wow…. amazing… the software performs calculations on the entropy of an image to allow you to resize it while keeping the overall look and quality of the image. Have a look of this video clip, it is nice to see something innovative like this…..! look like i don’t need to invest a wide angle lens….kekeke ;)

but problem here, “where to get this software” ?

The camera produces very sharp and natural colored photos, especially for landscape, macro and portrait shots and the best part is that the camera lens is wide enough at 24mm, which is something always lacking in other compact cameras…hihi…70% of my previous work was produced from this camera.

Result of 24mm Wide Angle Lens (**Normal Compact Camera Wide Range from 28mm – 35mm)

Nowadays, almost all compact cameras in the same price range has almost the same features, and for the average user, and if you can only get one digital compact camera, you might want to consider getting a wide-angled camera, you shouldn’t pass up these 3 models which has lens as wide as ~ 24mm.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

Ricoh GX100 (not easy to get it in Malaysia loh ;) )

Samsung NV24 (Available now)

More Details about the camera spec…click here

lastly, haha, though I am not so an expert, I hope this will help you to narrow down the choices for all of you. As there’s no harm in using a wide-angles camera, who knows, it will come in handy in situations where you need to take group shots and the room is just not big enough for you to move back to get everyone in the photo!

Good Try ;)

Gimp offer such sophisticated editing features as layers, channels, redeye reduction and a host of third-party plug-ins. There’s even a plug-in available, called UFRaw, which allows Gimp to work with the uncompressed, raw images file formats that many DSLRs offer.

Enjoy:)

Some screen shots, look 90% like Photoshop and it is FREE :)
