General information about the enhancement of the product in version 9.5
- Perfect Photo Suite 9.5 is up to two times faster than previous versions. The Team has done several speed tests for launching, switching modules, viewing RAW files, and applying presets. In all of our tests, Suite 9.5 outperformed every time.
- Perfect Browse's lightning-fast preview mode lets you quickly sort, cull and edit photos from a shoot. Quickly ditch the bad ones, rate the good ones, and add keywords. When you're done, filter only the photos you want and send them off to Photoshop, Lightroom or Aperture with a single click.
- New Faster Portrait Retouching - Automatic facial-feature detection for portraits and simple controls make it easy to smooth skin, remove blemishes, and brighten eyes, lips, and teeth. No more delays when finding faces or adjusting control points.
In addition to all the performance enhancements, Perfect Photo Suite 9.5 also has some great new features. The Line Mask tool allows you to create a straight path for masking sharp edges where brushing is difficult. Luminosity Masks have also been added for users to work on the luminance values or lighter and darker parts of a photo based on a specific selection.

- New Crop + Level Tool - The crop tool allows you to crop freeform, to a specific ratio, or choose from popular document sizes. Even save your own crop presets! Need to straighten your photo? Choose the new Straighten Tool!

Novinky při plnění cartridgi do tiskáren a renovaci tonerů
Provedl jsem si náhodný průzkum u návštěvníků svého portálu, který byl zaměřen na využívání moderního servisu při plnění cartridgí do tiskáren a renovace tonerů. Zjistil jsem , že u části uživatelů tiskáren stále ještě panuje určitá nedůvěra k této formě úsporného řešení tisku v domácnosti a v kancelářích. Podle získaných informací, je to způsobeno zčásti nedostatkem informací o technického pokroku, kterého bylo v této oblasti dosaženo a zčásti nepříliš vstřícným chováním pracovníků některých servisů.
Rozhodl jsem se uvést argumenty, které by měly tyto obavy rozptýlit.
Jako příklad mi bude sloužit můj oblíbený servis Fillpoint, jmenovitě jeho pobočka v Plzni v Prešovské ulici.
Především: Fillpoint používá speciální stroje s vakuovým prostředím a renovuje kazety originálními inkousty, tonery a komponenty podle typu a čísla kazety. Plnění inkoustových kazet provádí Fillpoint v provozovně na počkání, laserové tonery renovují do druhého dne. Při pravidelné recyklací v servisu máte svoji originální kazetu pod kontrolou - chráníte svůj obal.
Servis Fillpoint vám poradí s výběrem při koupi nové tiskárny vzhledem k nejlevnějšímu způsobu doplňování. Fillpoint je v Plzni umístěn v centru města, přesto, pokud nemáte čas k osobní návštěvě provozovny, servis přijímá a zasílá cartridge i poštou.
Nakonec 2 důležité informace:
- Fillpoint má pro své stálé zákazníky velmi pozoruhodné slevy ( až 25% ) na plnění inkoustových kazet
- Využíváním služeb servisu Fillpoint uspoříte až 80 % oproti nákupu originálních kazet.
Bližší podrobnosti o technologii, zasílání cartridgí a zejména srovnání úspor, najdete na webové stránce Fillpointu: www.fillpoint.cz
