Portable event photo kit promises to reinvent the guestbook

A New York-based startup will soon unveil an open air, portable event studio setup that it claims will couple “the fun of a photobooth with the quality of a professional studio”.

How to Get Great Photos with a Cool Tabletop Home Studio

I’m a tabletop studio fan. They are easy to use and despite their small size, these tiny “studios” are a great way to get very high quality photographs of coins, stamps, flowers, jewelry, collectibles or water drops like Martin Waugh’s amazing liquids frozen in motion photos .

On release, Adobe has revealed that this is to be the last update of Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5.
