American Legion Battle Creek Post 303 - Part I Video of July-September, 2015 Construction

American Legion Battle Creek Post 303 has, since its inception, been a hub of our small western South Dakota town. The Post is housed in what began as a wooden floored grocery store. In the mid-1960’s, the outer shell of the then vacant building was raised to replace the rotting floors with a concrete foundation, extending the useful life of the structure. But the old building is approaching the end of its life span and is in need of replacement.

Hence, the building of a new structure has begun. This facility is far more than just the American Legion Post home. The new building will be ADA compliant and include restrooms, meeting area, kitchen facilities and office space. This building will be used by the Senior Citizens, Legion Auxiliary, AA, Boy and Girl Scout organizations, plus other community entities and members as well as the American Legion.

Join us on this journey of creating a new home for American Legion Battle Creek Post 303 in Hermosa, SD.

ON1 Photo 10 Video - New Filter Stack in Effects

Just wanted to share one of the many cool new features in ON1 Photo 10. The new filter stack in ON1 Effects (part of ON1 Photo 10) has been given an upgrade!

As we mentioned previously in our article, The Next Generation of Perfect Photo Suite - ON1 Photo 10, there has been huge improvements made to the Effects module of ON1 Photo 10. Filters respond faster than ever before and presets are easier to find and apply. New preset categories have been added for popular photography genres, and include settings for color grading and haze reduction. The Perfect B&W module has been fully integrated into Effects, which lets you apply any filter—including the popular Dynamic Contrast effect—to your monochrome images. Lastly, you now have complete control over the organization of your presets and preset categories, making it easy to customize Effects to work the way you want.

Today, let's focus on the filter stack in ON1 Effects (part of ON1 Photo 10) which has undergone some great new changes. You can still work the same way you did in the previous version, but you can also learn some new ways to work. Dan Harlacher shows how the new options make it easier to find, add, and adjust filters in this great little 3 minute video clip.

The Next Generation of Perfect Photo Suite - ON1 Photo 10

ON1, Inc. has announced ON1 Photo 10, the next generation of its photo editing and effects app for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

Version 10 is a ground-up rework of Perfect Photo Suite 9, optimized for performance, stability and ease of use. Up to 4x faster than the previous version and requiring less memory to run, ON1 Photo 10 also includes an integrated mobile workflow, a modern
user interface, and the essential ON1 photo editing tools photographers have come to love.

ON1 Photo 10’s enhancements include:

• A significantly improved Effects module. Filters respond faster than ever before and presets are easier to find and apply. New preset categories have been added for popular photography genres, and include settings for color grading and haze reduction. The Perfect B&W module has been fully integrated into Effects, which lets you apply any filter—including the popular Dynamic Contrast effect—to your monochrome images. Lastly, you now have complete control over the organization of your presets and preset categories, making it easy to customize Effects to work the way you want.
• Two-way syncing of photos between ON1 Photo 10 and mobile devices with our free Photo Via app for IOS. Photo Via lets you share albums, smart albums and folders of photos between your desktop and your iPad or iPhone using Dropbox or Google Drive. With Photo Via, you can search, rate and share photos easily from any iOS device, and have the metadata synced back to your desktop.
• Better and faster workflow tools for working with faces in the Portrait module. Find facial features quicker, even with side views or faces at an angle. Portrait is faster and better than ever. The new way of working with facial features makes it easier to retouch the areas you care about.
• Access to Resize from any module, which lets you use the photo enlargement features of Perfect Resize from any part of ON1 Photo 10. Sharpen, add a watermark, or create a gallery wrap when you want, without jumping to a different module. 
• Color and tone controls that make sense. Use Enhance’s exposure adjustments, better color controls, and improved highlight and shadow recovery to make your photos pop before taking them into other editing modules.

As most of you know, we not only use ON1 Photo products in our workflow, but we are also an affiliate with them. We strongly encourage you to check out the next generation of Perfect Photo Suite - ON1 Photo 10 today!
