Evoluent VerticalMouse 2
The Evoluent VerticalMouse 2 has a patented new shape that supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position and eliminates arm twisting.
Right and left hand models available.
Eliminates Arm Twisting
The patented shape supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. You will quickly become accustomed to the improved comfort.
An ordinary horizontal mouse requires your forearm to twist away from its natural position.
The grip is the same as an ordinary mouse, just turned sideways, and the buttons are operated by the same fingers. There is virtually no retraining necessary.
The button force is light for easy clicking, but still firm enough to avoid accidental actuation. The mouse does not move sideways when clicking with normal force. Pointer control is as accurate as any other good mouse.
1200 dpi true optical resolution sensor reduces hand movements. Great for games. (Other mice have 800 dpi)
5 programmable buttons with 59 selectable functions each, plus special features such as:
Vertical scroll - press a button and drag the mouse to scroll with greater precision and control than the scroll wheel.
Auto click - automatically perform a double click by pausing the pointer.
Click lock - press and hold a button momentarily to simulate continued pressing without holding down the button.

Portraits & Prints 2.0.2 Photo/Image Touchup, Enhance, Print
Portraits & Prints 2.0 is your complete solution to turning digital photographs and scanned images into high quality prints. Digital photographs can be quickly imported and arranged for output on your color printer. Besides printing, you can develop your layouts at your favorite photo center or email your prints to friends. Special tools for modifying each photo's brightness, contrast, sharpness, and saturation as well as red eye reduction, cropping, and rotation make it easy to fix up your photos. Add balloon captions or text to truly personalize your photos.
With Portraits & Prints 2.0, you enhance photos, select a template, and then export or print the template. A template is a page layout where the photo's size and position are preset. All you do is select your photos and they are automatically added to the template. Portraits & Prints comes with many standard templates or you can download hundreds of free templates directly from the Template Manager.
Get complete control with Portraits & Prints 2.0 Pro Edition. The Pro Edition gives you all the great features of the Standard Edition plus the ability to create and edit templates. Once you create a template you can use it over and over again. Portraits & Prints 2.0 not only prints your photos any way possible, it makes them come to life.
Every feature Portraits & Prints offers is designed to quickly, efficiently and professionally print and export digital photos. With Portraits & Prints, you collect groups of images in a catalog where the photos can then be manipulated, enhanced and arranged in a variety of ways without ever modifying your original photos. All enhancements are stored within the catalog and applied to each image when it is printed or exported. This allows you to print the same set of photos in a wide variety of ways without ever destroying the original photo's quality. When you are ready to print, just select your photos, select a template, and print.
Portraits & Prints makes it easy to fix up your digital images. Enhance one image, or multiple images at the same time, with brightness, contrast, sharpness, and saturation controls. Get rid of red-eye with the click of a mouse. Crop an image to capture just the part you want to print. Rotate any image to the proper orientation. Add balloon captions and let your photos speak for themselves. All modifications are stored so they can be used later but the original image is left untouched. If you need a copy of your changes then you can export your image to any popular file format.
After enhancing photos, select the ones you want to have printed. Once selected, photos are automatically arranged onto templates and displayed on screen the exact same way they are printed. You don’t waste time arranging photos and you don’t waste paper since you see the printout beforehand.
Templates not only print any size and number of photos, they can add text and graphics to your photos. Portraits and Prints comes with over 30 templates for you to use. In addition, you can preview and download free templates directly from the Template Manager.
Download mask, collage, anniversary, birthday, holiday, and many more kinds of templates! Each week more templates are being added to the Template Manager. Portraits & Prints does a lot more than print your photos, it brings them to life.
With Portraits & Prints 2.0 you can print your photos anywhere, not just your printer. The Print to Disk feature exports your photos into any file format so you can then develop your photos at your local photo store or upload them on the internet. The Print to Email feature automatically adds your images to email. All you have to do is add an address and click send. Print your photos at home, develop them at your local photo store, export and order prints online, upload them to a website, or email them to your friends. Share your creations anyway you want.
Portraits & Prints 2.0 Pro Edition gives you all the great features of the Standard Edition plus the ability to create and edit templates.
The Pro Edition gives you all the tools you need to create any template you can imagine or edit any of the hundreds of free templates available. Create templates for any paper size, add any size photo frames, add any number of photo frames, and automatically add shadows or masks to your photo frames. In addition to adding photos, you can draw graphics, import images, and add text to any part of the template. You can even have any image file information and EXIF data automatically added to your templates. Rotate and place your photos, text, and graphics anywhere you want, even layer them on top of other objects. You can create any kind of template you can imagine.
iPhoto is great at organizing your photos, but it only comes with a few printing options. If you want to take full advantage of your printer, then try using Portraits & Prints with iPhoto. Select images or albums in iPhoto and drag them into Portraits & Prints to print them.
New in this version:
Features:
• Added new Valentine's Day templates to the Template Exchange.
• Drastically improved performance when checking for template updates with the Template Exchange.
• Catalog documents will now search for photos when they have been copied to another machine, reducing the need to "Locate..." your photos.
• Added the ability to link multiple edit fields to a single field, requiring the user to only enter a custom text message once.
• The Print-to-disk function now uses a perpetual number sequence when naming files.
• Added the "Reset palette positions" command to the "Windows" menu.
• Several user interface & interaction tweaks.
Bug Fixes:
Eliminated a crash that could sometimes occur when launching the application by double clicking on a template document.
Fixed a template editor bug where duplicating or copy/pasting grouped objects that contained graphics would "lose" the graphic objects.
Fixed a template editor bug where copying a graphic from one document and pasting it in another could potentially result in the wrong graphic being pasted.
Opening a document in the template editor with custom page dimensions now respects those dimensions.
Custom ICC profiles that are specified for print-to-printer operations are no longer applied to print-to-disk and print-to-email operations.
Eliminated a crash that could occur if an image previously added to a saved catalog could not be located. After locating a "broken" image, it is now correctly re-displayed in the layout panel and catalog drawer.
Fixed a problem with the template editor whereby certain types of imported graphics would not scale properly.
Pressing the TAB key in the template editor (to advance the selection) with no objects defined no longer raises an exception.
Eliminated an obscure exception that was getting raised when scrolling erratically through the list of templates in the Template Manager window.
Fixed a problem where invoking "Clear all guides" in the template editor was not really clearing all guides if you saved/reopened the document afterwards.
System requirements:
• Mac OS X 10.2.7 or later
• 400 MHz G3
Portraits & Prints is $30.00 demoware
