Here’s a great little how to I found via Lifehacker that shows you how to create automation in Photoshop for resizing, sharpening and optimization of multiple images. Save time by performing routine operations on mutliple images at once instead of one at a time. Wired’s How To Guide shows you how.

Nikon has released a new 10.2 megapixel digital SLR. The D40X is the replacement for the D40 and is essentially the same camera with a few enhancements. If your a Nikon advocate and looking to take the plunge into the dSLR world without forking out a fortune, this looks like a decent place to start.

Full press release from Nikon after the jump with complete details on the new model.
Surprisingly the image above is not real. It’s a computer generated digital sculpture of Korean Actress Song Hye Kyo. The piece was created by CG artist Max Edwin Wahyudi using Pixelogic Zbrush and Autodesk 3DS Max for animation modeling. It’s a pretty remarkable piece and extremely life like when compared with other digital photographs of live people. Once this technology hits hollywood full force they’re a lot of actors and actresses going to be going on welfare.

Olympus announced today two new E-Series cameras for the photo hobbyists. The EVOLT E-510 (available in July) and the E-410 (available in June). Both cameras sport anti-dust Supersonic Wave Filtering to dustless high quality photos. Both cameras are 10 mega-pixels with image stablization and live preview. Specs for each camera are after the jump, thanks to Ubergizmo for detailing them.
I have an E-500 and I love it but there are a few things that could definitely be improved, the first of which is noise. According to the specs Olympus is using a TruePic III Image Processor which reduces noise by one step at higher ISO settings. This is good, but the actual results will be key. They’ve also introduced a Full Time Live LCD which allows you to use either the LCD or view finder to frame a picture. This is one feature I do miss from the point and shoot cameras.
I’m not sure yet if I’ll spring for the camera right away, but I’ll definitely get my hands on one to test out and we’ll review. If someone from Olympus wants to “hook me up” feel free to contact me.
There is no word yet on actual prices but Amazon.com has the E-510
