This is another website that lets you send or share big files easily. Maybe you have a big file you want to send to a friend, this can be frustrating to send over instant messenger as sometimes it times out or fails and you have to start all over again and hope for the best. As for emailing it, some emails don’t accept files over a certain size or your friend’s inbox might not have space for it.Thats where sites such as SendSpace can come in very handy. You simply go to the SendSpace website and upload your file, it can be up to 300mb, which is pretty generous. You can even add a short note/description to the file, then you have the option to enter your friends email address and it sends them a link that they can download the file from!

You don’t even have to register or anything to use this service.

Check it out at the sendspace website for more info or to try it out!

Here is a useful tool for you. Cleanerzoomer. With this cool tool you can now get great enlarged images from your zoomed pictures.

Cleanerzoomer utilizes a complex multi-stage processing technology to accurately remove digital noise and JPEG artifacts from images; another modification of that technology, called ‘Nova Sharpen’, allows sharpening of blurry images producing an amazing crispness never possible to achieve using standard techniques.

With Cleanerzoomer, you can get clean and clear images of your zoomed pictures. It uses Nova Sharpen after an image has been enlarged to achieve an absolutely crisp and naturally-looking zoomed picture. I really love the additional Auto-balance instrument which is able to balance color, and other intricate qualities of the image greatly increasing its realism.

The new version, Cleanerzoomer 3.6 has been updated for speed optimization.

Autostitch is a cool little program I was glad to find and is sure to appeal to many amateur photographers. You know those times when you’re on vacation and you just wish you could fit more into the frame?

Well all you gotta do from now on is take two or more pictures and this program will “AutoStitch” them together, making one big picture.

Perfect for panoramic wide shots. I tried this out on a couple of shots I took of a very tall cathedral when i was in Prague. AutoStitch works its magic exactly as promised, I was pretty impressed. It’s simple to use, you simply select 2 or more photos and then it does its thing, creating a new image with all the photos as one!

You can get it right over here and see some good examples of it in use.

ArtRage is a really cool art program that is almost as good as the real thing, but without the expense or mess! You can “paint” very impressive paintings on your computer.
There is obviously a lot of added benefits, if you make a mistake you can easily undo or change it, unlike the real world.

You can create any style of painting or drawing that you can imagine, from cartoons to oil paintings. There’s lots of different things to use such as crayons, pencils ,oils, chalk, markers etc. Paints smear and blend just like the real world and things can be adjusted in many ways. The interface is very easy to use, simple and tidy.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so rather than me just describe what’s possible with this program, check out some of the examples people have created here at the official ArtRage forum (plus i dont feel like typing a thousand words!)

Check out the ArtRage site for more details, the free edition is free (surprise surprise) but the full edition is only $19.95, surprisingly good value in my opinion!
