PhotoFrame 4PhotoFrame is a Photoshop plugin that helps you create digital frames for your digital images. When you think back to most any museum trip you've taken, the vast majority of the paintings are presented in a beautiful frame (which sometimes looks better than the image contained therein). Digital images presented on a computer or the web should be no different. With this new release, PhotoFrame has significantly advanced its usability and ease of finding "just the right frame." That's not to say it wasn't easy before; it was. But with each integration of newer versions, OnOne Software has done an even better job of removing the guessing about how each different frame might look with your image and making the final decision based on what you could see. Well, mostly. In this latest release, there are some wonderful improvements along with some strange glitches, all leading to a mostly great new release.

Activision Anthology: Remix Edition422

The benefit of collections like this for guys like me is the quick trip down memory lane. Quite a few times, I heard myself saying, "Oh yeah, I remember this game." Even my wife, who was all of three-years-old in 1982, could recall playing games like Pitfall. Honestly, who doesn't remember Pitfall? But the fun I had with AA wasn't when playing the titles I remember playing for hours as a kid, but when trying out the new ones or remembering the more obscure ones such as Keystone Kapers and Fishing Derby. Playing through these is like visiting that kid with the most games, only you don't have him yelling at you to stop playing because he's already bored with them all.
