Terrific promo for Paper’s new colour mixer.
Tried out Tumblr’s new Photoset app with some pictures from a recent trip to Fiji. Works beautifully. It’s so good, I kinda wish I could have a profile page on photoset.com to collect all my sets together…

Apple’s pro photography app Aperture 3 has at last added an export option for custom adjustment presets. Here, then, is a presets file containing four of my custom adjustments, yours to apply and remix as you like.
To install the presets, switch to the Adjustments tab in the main Aperture window then select Edit Presets… from the Presets drop-down menu. Now from the Actions drop-down menu in the bottom left corner of the Adjustment Presets window, select Import…, locate the downloaded file and press Import.

All proceeds made on January 20, 2010 will be donated to Haiti. You get great software, Haiti gets financial help in its time of crisis.
Buy any of the software listed tomorrow (Wednesday) and developers will donate the proceeds to charities for Haiti relief.
I’ve been working on this site all weekend—it’s amazing how difficult it was to design a clean layout for that many listings (over 130 companies are involved), and I’m thrilled to have it online and ready to raise loads of money.
Please support this terrific effort.

“Use it to find the photography you like using the simple idea that people whose work you like, probably like stuff you’ll like. You start with a set of pictures — if you authenticate, it’ll use 20 of your last 100 favorites — otherwise it’ll start with somebody’s favorites. Click any picture to load more.” Great idea, works beautifully. (via Jarred Bishop)
The Font Game from Johno Boardley, Justin Stahl and Kari Pätilä is in the App Store approval queue, due out any day. It’s a single-player, quick-fire font identification game in which you race the clock to name 30 typefaces in a multi-choice format. The beautifully designed interface makes liberal use of H&FJ’s Whitney family, which is a welcome change from the usual Helvetica. I’ve played with an early beta and even then the subtle animation effects and slightly non-standard UI made for a very handsome product. I’m sure it’ll be a big hit.
