All this talk about the Eye-Fi has got us really excited about streamlining our photo workflows. With 17 different places you can wirelessly send your shots - what else could you ask for?

Oh right, how about iPhoto integration! If you’re a Mac lover and Eye-Fi fan - fear no more - we’ve bridged the gap between your favorite new wireless buddy and Apple’s poster child photo program.

We’ve put together a light little application which keeps watch on your Eye-Fi folder. When it sees new photos have been added it automatically loads them into iPhoto. Cool!

We’re still perfecting our little Eye-Fi to iPhoto sidekick - so we can’t guarantee it’ll work on all systems and without kinks. Infact, we’d really appreciate your feedback. After you try it out - you can stop by this forum thread and let us know how its working or if you have any problems. We can’t wait to hear from you.

Without further ado - download Eye-Fi to iPhoto.zip and then get rolling with these three, one time only, simple steps.

Step 1 - Unzip the file.

Step 2 - From the unzipped file you should see a folder called “Eye-Fi to iPhoto.” Drag that whole folder to Applications.

Step 3 - Open that folder from Applications and look for the “Eye-Fi to iPhoto” app inside. Go ahead and load it - you’ll be prompted to locate your Eye-Fi pictures folder.

Here’s a screencast of us installing and running the app for the first time.

Our little app will be added to your Startup items (just like the Eye-Fi program is) so you don’t need to worry about loading it again everytime you reboot. It’s also set to work in the background so it won’t be sitting there taking up space in your dock. And if you ever want to change what folder the application is monitoring (say you move your Eye-Fi folder), no worries - just double click the application again and it’ll ask you if you want to make any changes.

Note: If your Eye-Fi wasn’t set to upload images to your computer, you can change this by going to the Eye-Fi manager and looking under Settings for “Upload to Computer.” You also need to make sure you have checked the option to “add date to path.” Have a look at our settings to see what we mean.

Hello to all you Uncut readers! Some of you might know me from the forum. I’m the geeky English one who lurks in the shadows until technicalities arise. Then I pop up like a goblin and spell Colour wrong

A while ago, Amit asked me to have a look at Alien Skin Software’s latest offering - Exposure 2.

As it’s name suggests, it’s the second incarnation of Exposure - a program designed to give a digital image a film-like look, by emulating the colour reproduction and grain of a given type of film.

It comes in the form of a plugin for Adobe Photoshop CS2 and above, Photoshop Elements 4 and above, Adobe Fireworks CS3, and Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI. Mac and PC versions are available.
For this review, I am using Photoshop CS2 running on a PC.

So, without further ado, let’s have a look at it;
