Our new DREAM BOXES are a huge hit in 2010. If you have a session scheduled and would like to have this amazing digital collection, just let me know at the time of your session. If you have had a session with me at some time in the past and would like to have this collection, give me a call and I will make it happen!

I wanted to show some closeup images of this amazing image box.

Our newest offering is the DREAM BOX!  This beautiful image box includes a CD button to hold a CD of your images. It also can hold up to 18 matted images from your portrait session. You will be able to use the image CD to have your own prints made at your local photo print shop, and the 5×7 matted prints can be used as reference prints. The prints will be your reference to make sure your photo lab is giving you correctly printed images. The box also comes with a silk ribbon inside that makes it easier to remove the 5×7 matted prints. There is also a magnetic closure that keeps the box shut nicely. This DREAM BOX is a fabulous and fun way to keep all of the images from your session together forever. This is perfect for those maternity or newborn sessions or mini sessions!!!

Setelah berbagai cara dicoba (tepatnya sih baru 2 cara aja hehehe ) dari menggunakan dd, nrg2iso akhirnya aku menemukan AcetoneISO.

Paket ini mengklaim dapat me mount dan un mount semua jenis image CD/DVD, bahkan berformat nrg yang dari beberapa minggu coba aku konvert ke ISO.

Setelah intall paketnya yaitu acetoneiso_2.0.4-1~getdeb1_i386.deb yang bisa anda download di sourceforge.net/projects.

Anda diminta untuk memilih file manager yang kita gunakan, atau langsung kita gunakan foldel dimana kita meletakkan file image kita.

Kebetulan aku gunakan ubuntu, maka aku pilih file manager Gnome yaitu Nautilus.

Kemudian muncul tampilan sbb

Udah deh selesai, bisa langsung digunakan, baik membuat Image, melihat image dan lainnya, silahkan klik dan rasakan nikmatnya

Les fichiers portant l’extension “.nrg” sont des images CD créées avec Nero. Ils permettent de copier l’intégralité d’un CD sous forme de fichier et de le graver ultérieurement ou même de le monter grâce à un lecteur virtuel tel que DeamonTools sous Windows.
Cependant, ces fichiers ne sont pas compatibles avec Linux (du moins à l’heure où j’écris ces lignes), alors comment faire pour utiliser notre vielle collection d’images CD datant des jour où on utilisait Nero?
La solution est simple, ouvrez le terminal et tapez :

sudo apt-get install nrg2iso

Après l’install qui ne dure pas plus de cinq secondes, il suffit de taper, toujours dans le terminal :

nrg2iso nom_fichier.nrg nom_fichier.iso

Ex : Mon fichier nrg s’appelle Photos.nrg je veux le convertir en iso en lui donnant le même nom par exemple.

nrg2iso Photos.nrg Photos.iso

Je valide, j’attends qu’il termine la conversion et voila, j’ai mon fichier en iso, je peux le graver tranquille sous Ubuntu en utilisant Brasero par exemple, ou même le monter dans un dossier avec Gmount.

What do you think of when you hear about paperless photographic products?

When I used to think about paperless photographic products, I envision images written to a CD which are distributed to the client.  Instead of paper proofs, the client would receive a CD or view their images online where they could place an order for paper products.   Maybe there would be an electronic album, or a way to save your images on “My Space” or as a screen saver on your computer or cell phone.  Paperless to me meant that the image is displayed through some sort of an electronic medium such as a computer, Ipod, digital picture frame, television, pda, or even on a watch.

This past week I visited with several photography companies.  The secret to their success is my new definition of paperless photographic products.  Based on my visits, my definition of paperless has changed.  To me a paperless photographic product means “Any photographic product that a consumer can not produce themselves.”  This definition still includes everything that I thought of as a paperless product in the past, but is now expanded into other products such as T-shirts, mouse pads, key chains, pens, magnets, wall calendars, blankets, back packs, plaques, wall hooks, and even baseball bats.  All products with images printed on them, but would be difficult for parents to produce themselves on an ink jet printer or through Walmart or Costco.

The trend in the school photography business appears to be going paperless.  However, not as I had previously envisioned.  The physical products, such as a mouse pad or a pen with an image on it is what is helping a savvy School Photography company keep orders and make their order averages higher.

The capabilities to provide these items will be what sets school photography companies apart.  For these items to be profitable, they must be produceable in volume through an automated workflow.  It isn’t just paper rolling off of the printer any more.  The challenge is how are these custom made paperless products produced from the order.  Then after they are produced, how do they get married back together for delivery back to the customer? Some of this will never be completely automated, unless Noritsu makes a printer that prints and process right on a baseball bat, or outputs prints that are die cut and laminated.

Keep watching my blog.  In the near future, PhotoLynx will have the solution to some of these problems.
