Lightroom

If you’re planning to pick up a Hassleblad H4D – we’re very jealous, by the way – you may want to consider holding off for another week or two.

Exposure, the Photoshop and Lightroom plug-in from Alien Skin, is getting a significant update when February rolls around. You’ll get plenty of new effects, but one of the biggest boosts is speed.

It’s funny the way some programs get updated. They’ll get yearly installments or sometimes even quicker than that. Silver Shadows 2 comes out four years after the original, and Seim Effects owner Gavin Seim says that you can expect some big changes.
