     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On-the-go photo editing and management made effortless with new Photoshop.com mobile application</p><p>SAN JOSE, Calif. &#8212; Adobe Systems Incorporated (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=ADBE" target="_blank">Nasdaq:ADBE</a>) today introduced the Photoshop.com Mobile for Android&#8482; software, extending Adobe&#174; industry-leading digital imaging technology to users of the Google Mobile&#8482; operating system. The release comes less than a month after the launch of Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone, which quickly established itself as one of the &#39;Top Free&#39; applications on the Apple mobile platform. The Android application equips consumers with quick and easy image-editing tools, color adjustments and instant photo-sharing capabilities. Photoshop.com Mobile optimizes the camera-phone experience by allowing users to browse for their photos online and on their phone, directly from the application. The application is free and available today at the Android Market.</p><p>&#39;Adobe is excited to extend its digital imaging capabilities to Android phone users so they can take control of their growing collections of mobile photos,&#39; said Doug Mack, vice president and general manager of Consumer and Hosted Solutions at Adobe. &#39;Photoshop.com Mobile is a great resource to edit, upload and share photos in a few short moments. It&#39;s the perfect complement to the mobile phone cameras found on Android devices.&#39;</p><p>Mobile Photo Sharing and Editing Features<br />Photoshop.com Mobile for Android offers essential, user-friendly photo-editing tools like crop, rotate and flip. The Soft Focus filter can be used to create a subtle blur effect, and for performing color adjustments such as exposure, saturation, tint changes and classic black-and-white. Since all edits and changes can be undone, users can be confident that their original photo will be safe. After making edits on their Android device, users can upload photos from their phone to their Photoshop.com account to view and retrieve their images at a later time from any Internet-connected computer.</p><p>In addition, Photoshop.com Mobile for Android offers features only available on Android phones. Users can automatically upload pictures to Photoshop.com albums in the background, even when the Photshop.com Mobile application is not running. Photoshop.com accounts provide 2GB of free online photo storage, which equates to over 1,500 photos. Made possible by the Android API, the new tab-based user interface enables users to view local and online content. Also, the Android Photo Browser makes maneuvering through photos fast and convenient, bringing users&#39; complete photo collections right to their pockets.</p><p>Adobe Photoshop Family<br />Adobe Photoshop&#174; CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended are at the heart of the Photoshop family, joined by solutions for users at every level who want to bring out the best in their digital images. Photoshop Lightroom&#174; addresses the workflow needs of professional and serious amateur photographers. Photoshop Elements provides exciting tools and sharing options for photo enthusiasts. Lastly, snap shooters can access Photoshop.com for free online photo editing to simply fix and enhance photos and quickly share those images on social-networking sites or through Photoshop.com online galleries.</p><p>Pricing and Availability<br />The Adobe Photoshop.com Mobile for Android application is available as a free download from the Android Market. More information on Photoshop.com Mobile for Android can be found at <a href="http://mobile.photoshop.com/android" target="_blank">http://mobile.photoshop.com/android</a>.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WASHINGTON - National Geographic announced today its sponsorship of WILD9, the 9th World Wilderness Congress, and the accompanying four-day conservation communications symposium, WiLD SPEAK. WiLD SPEAK, organized by the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP), provides a forum for media professionals to discuss environmental issues and themes, share strategies and technologies, and explore how their work can raise awareness and realize conservation objectives. WiLD SPEAK will take place Nov. 9-12, 2009, during WILD9, which will run from Nov. 6-13 in Mérida, Mexico.</p><p>Throughout its 121-year history, National Geographic has encouraged conservation of natural resources and raised public awareness of the importance of natural places, the plants and wildlife that inhabit them and the environmental problems that threaten them. In the past four years, 54 articles in National Geographic magazine have been photographed by iLCP members. Photographers whose work has appeared in the magazine and who are scheduled to present at WiLD SPEAK include Michael Nichols, Brian Skerry, Paul Nicklen, Steve Winters, Tim Laman, Christian Ziegler, Frans Lanting, Jack Dykinga, Tom Peschak, Klaus Nigge and James Balog.</p><p>Tim Kelly, president of National Geographic Global Media and president/CEO of National Geographic Ventures, and Frank Biasi, director, conservation and special projects, National Geographic Maps, will speak at WILD9.</p><p>&#34;We are excited to be part of WILD9 -- a vital forum that is closely aligned to our own mission to inspire people to care about the planet,&#34; said Kelly. &#34;It speaks to our ongoing commitment to environmental storytelling across all of our media platforms. We constantly challenge ourselves to take these kinds of stories and find fresh ways to share them with our many audiences. It&#39;s an honor to have supported some of the conservation photography showcased at WILD9 and WiLD SPEAK, and we look forward to future collaborations with iLCP.&#34;</p><p>&#34;This year&#39;s congress greatly expands our focus on the visual and written media professions as catalysts and influencers to raise awareness of environmental issues and on their role in achieving conservation outcomes,&#34; said WILD Foundation President Vance Martin. &#34;National Geographic is an ideal sponsor of WILD9 by virtue of its commitment to conserving nature and traditional communities, and success in bringing issues, emotion and information to audiences regarding the beauty and fragility of our planet.&#34;</p><p>WILD9&#39;s principal theme is the key role that wilderness conservation plays in mitigating climate change and conserving biodiversity and other ecosystem services critical to human well-being.</p><p>Please send requests for images to media contacts below.</p><p>WILD9 is a partnership between The WILD Foundation and Unidos para la Conservación and relies on the support and participation of many partner organizations.</p><p>The National Geographic Society (<a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com" target="_blank">www.nationalgeographic.com</a>) The National Geographic Society is one of the world&#39;s largest nonprofit scientific and educational organizations. Founded in 1888 to &#34;increase and diffuse geographic knowledge,&#34; the Society works to inspire people to care about the planet. National Geographic reflects the world through its magazines, television programs, films, music and radio, books, DVDs, maps, exhibitions, live events, school publishing programs, interactive media and merchandise. National Geographic magazine, the Society&#39;s official journal, published in English and 32 local-language editions, is read by more than 35 million people each month. The National Geographic Channel reaches 310 million households in 34 languages in 165 countries. National Geographic Digital Media receives more than 13 million visitors a month. National Geographic has funded more than 9,200 scientific research, conservation and exploration projects and supports an education program promoting geography literacy.</p><p>iLCP (<a href="http://www.ilcp.com" target="_blank">www.ilcp.com</a>) Its mission is to further environmental and cultural conservation through ethical photography. iLCP is a project-driven organization, with a vision to translate conservation science into compelling visual messages targeted to specific audiences. iLCP works with leading scientists, policy makers, government leaders and conservation groups to produce the highest-quality documentary images of both the beauty and wonder of the natural world and the challenges facing it. From poaching to global warming, from habitat loss to cultural erosion, from sustainability to biological corridors, the work of conservation photographers covers the range of threats to biodiversity and is a critical component in the conservation toolbox.</p><p>The WILD Foundation (<a href="http://www.wild.org" target="_blank">www.wild.org</a>) Founded in 1974, WILD is the only international organization dedicated entirely and explicitly to wilderness protection around the world. WILD works to protect the planet&#39;s last wild places and the wildlife and people who depend upon them, because wilderness areas provide essential social, spiritual, biological and economic benefits. We believe that intact wilderness areas are an essential core element of a healthy modern society.</p><p>Unidos para la Conservación (<a href="http://www.unidosparalaconservacion.org" target="_blank">www.unidosparalaconservacion.org</a>) Founded in 1992, Unidos is a nonprofit Mexican conservation organization that has actively promoted the concept of wilderness conservation in Mexico. Its working strategy combines the establishment of alliances with government, nonprofit and corporate partners with the promotion of a conservation culture through publications and films in a search of conservation solutions through specific action.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID107191 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ADV">Advertising / Marketing</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ART">Art / Graphics / Photography</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=LSS">Lifestyle / Society</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MAG">Magazines</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=PUB">Publishing / Information Services</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2009 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Art-Graphics-Photography/~4/gxkX7o3y1Sc" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do postfeminism and postracialism have to do with liberation and freedom? &#34;Nothing - not a single thing,&#34; says the new edition of On The Issues Magazine.</p><p>&#34;The &#39;post&#39; terms, thrown about vigorously by pundits, send out signals that the problems of our society related to gender and race have magically flown away in an unseen balloon,&#34; write the editors.</p><p>In the Fall 2009 edition, &#34;Race, Feminism, Our Future,&#34; editors and writers take on race and feminism, two of the most provocative social, political and cultural topics of our times. The edition is a series of big-picture articles and visionary ideas.</p><p>In &#34;Taking on Postracialism,&#34; Rinku Sen tackles the idea of postracialism and argues that just because a black man was elected President of the United States doesn&#39;t mean racial equality has been achieved. Sen says implementing policies to end racism won&#39;t erase it.</p><p>&#34;Most Americans don&#39;t see racism as a system enabled by rules and structures,&#34; writes Sen. &#34;They have no idea that when we lay seemingly race-neutral policies on top of the history of explicitly racist policy, the racial gap remains in place or grows.&#34;</p><p>To address racism and work toward achieving real racial justice Sen advocates re-framing the postracial discussion.</p><p>In &#34;Birthers and Birchers: Hiding Behind Stars and Stripes,&#34; Loretta J. Ross makes a link between those who deny Obama&#39;s citizenship (birthers) and nativist, racist sympathizers (Birchers, named after members of the John Birch Society.) Ross warns that to ignore the far right allows the further spread of deceitful misinformation.</p><p>&#34;We need to build a united human rights movement that won&#39;t allow wedge politics to divide us,&#34; writes Ross, who is the National Coordinator at SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective and a Consulting Editor on this edition of On The Issues Magazine.</p><p>Serena Garcia, Communications Coordinator at SisterSong, also consulted on this edition.</p><p>In a unique featured artist piece, Faith Ringgold narrates a multimedia slideshow of her story quilt,  &#34;How The People Became Color Blind and We Came to America.&#34; Ringgold is well known for her vast body of work that often combines painting, quilted fabric and storytelling.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID106959 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ART">Art / Graphics / Photography</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=LSS">Lifestyle / Society</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MLM">Multimedia / Online / Internet</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=POL">Politics</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=REL">Religion</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2009 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Art-Graphics-Photography/~4/q6ysWF12kHY" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

It comes bundled with Silver Bullet Ranger Transport API software that allows users to mix and match the types of item processing software and hardware they select.</p><p># imageFORMULA CR-55 Check Transport: The CR-55 is a convenient, compact solution to decentralize payment processing from the first point of presentment to settlement. Ideal for teller and branch capture, it offers high-quality scanning, at speeds of up to 55 cpm,II and is compliant with Check 21.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Company delivers on its sustainability strategy with a 20 percent reduction in company-wide greenhouse gas emissions and landfill avoidance equaling 2.2 billion pounds since 1991; Corporate giving tops $12.6 million</p><p>NORWALK, Conn., Xerox Corporation (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=XRX" target="_blank">NYSE: XRX</a>) today released its 2009 Report on Global Citizenship. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the company&#39;s activities and progress in the areas of corporate social responsibility: environmental sustainability, governance and ethics, customer privacy and satisfaction, employee diversity and development and corporate giving and volunteerism.</p><p>In the report&#39;s letter to stakeholders, Xerox Chairman Anne Mulcahy and Chief Executive Officer Ursula Burns said, &#34;We were an early leader in the sustainability movement because we thought it was the right thing to do for the environment. But we discovered something else along the way. Every one of our innovations ended up either saving us money or creating new markets and new revenue. We found, in other words, that we don&#39;t have to choose between the environment and profit. We can do both.&#34;</p><p>Environmental Sustainability Progress to Date<br />Xerox aligns its environmental sustainability goals around the following four commitment areas where the company can make a significant impact across its entire value chain of technology and services:</p><p>    * Climate protection: Xerox invests in technologies that reduce the carbon footprint of our operations and the operations of our customers. Our goal is to become carbon neutral. To date, our company-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are down 20 percent from 2002 to 2008, and the company believes it will deliver a 25 percent reduction in total GHG emissions by 2012 from a 2002 baseline.</p><p>      Last year, 80 percent of Xerox&#39;s eligible new products met or exceeded the international ENERGY STAR standard even as the program&#39;s stricter requirements made it tougher to meet. The company&#39;s goal is to deliver ENERGY STAR qualified equipment for 90 percent or more of eligible new products launched by 2010. The Xerox Sustainability Calculator, launched in 2008, is aimed at helping customers identify opportunities to reduce lifecycle energy use, solid waste and greenhouse gas emissions of office printing activities.</p><p>    * Preserving biodiversity and the world&#39;s forests: Xerox works with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to support the development of a sustainable paper cycle. Xerox expects its suppliers to adhere to stringent requirements for sustainable forest management. To date, more than 90 percent of Xerox paper by volume met the company&#39;s requirements; the goal is 100 percent by volume. In 2008, Xerox maintained chain of custody certification as planned, expanding the portfolio of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certified papers it offers to customers. Xerox also continued its successful 3-year $1 million partnership with The Nature Conservancy that supports conservation work aimed at the development of a sustainable paper cycle.</p><p>    * Preserving clean air and water: Xerox strives to eliminate the use of toxic materials throughout the supply chain. For years, the company has applied strict internal standards that govern the use of chemicals in its operations and products and over time has re-engineered or substituted processes to dramatically reduce the use of toxics and heavy metals. Our goal is to achieve a zero toxic footprint.</p><p>    * Preventing and managing waste: Xerox&#39;s equipment and supplies returns and recycling programs diverted 106 million pounds of waste from landfills bringing total landfill avoidance to 2.2 billion pounds since 1991. The company achieved an internal recycle rate of 92 percent in 2008 and, in support of a &#34;zero waste to landfill&#34; goal for its company-wide operations, it is developing a waste-free goal in 2009. Xerox is on track to reduce the solid waste sent to landfills from its largest warehouses by 25 percent by 2012.</p><p>      In May of 2009, Xerox launched its breakthrough ColorQube&#8482; multifunction printer, which uses the company&#39;s proprietary solid ink technology. Its cartridge-free design generates 90 percent less office supplies waste than comparable laser devices and reduces the effects of manufacturing and transportation on the environment. </p><p>Additional highlights from Xerox&#39;s Report on Global Citizenship include:</p><p>    * The Customer Experience: Xerox offers the industry&#39;s broadest portfolio of document technology and services with more than 80 products launched in the last three years. In 2008, Xerox products garnered more than 230 awards worldwide, and Xerox was the first document management company to receive excellence certification from J.D. Power and Associates for quality technical support three years in a row - one of the customer service industry&#39;s highest recognitions.</p><p>    * Giving back to the communities in which we work and live: The Xerox Foundation invested $12.6 million in 2,825 non-profit organizations and matched approximately 1,700 employee contributions to not for profits. In 2008, Xerox and Xerox employees contributed $3.5 million to United Way organizations and more than 9,500 Xerox employees committed their time to worthwhile causes through the Xerox Community Involvement Program.</p><p>About Xerox<br />Headquartered in Norwalk, Conn., Xerox Corporation&#39;s 54,000 people represent the world&#39;s leading document management, technology and services enterprise, providing the industry&#39;s broadest portfolio of color and black-and-white document processing systems and related supplies, as well as document management consulting and outsourcing services.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID106924 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ART">Art / Graphics / Photography</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=HRD">Computer Hardware</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=CPR">Electronics</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ENV">Environment</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=OFP">Office Products</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2009 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Art-Graphics-Photography/~4/LOCOFpaoSP8" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York &#8211; Nov. 2, 2009 &#8211; Students from New York City public school PS 165 assisted Procter &#38; Gamble&#39;s Bounty brand along with Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation co-founder and entertainment mogul Russell Simmons, hip-hop pioneer Joseph &#39;Rev. Run&#39; Simmons, American fashion designer and humanitarian Tory Burch, and artist Amanda Williams in unveiling the completed Building Bounty-ful Bridges 33-foot painted mural.  The mural is a compilation of all the completed pieces of the traveling arts program that toured the nation sponsored by Bounty in partnership with Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. </p><p>Through Bounty&#39;s partnership with Rush Philanthropic, children from New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington D.C., New Orleans, and Cincinnati have collaborated in creating a large-scale painting depicting a bridge in their city and representing the &#39;space between us.&#39; Youth groups in each city were able to showcase their creativity by being inspired by the city they live in and learn by doing the project with other children. This is in perfect sync with Bounty&#39;s mission to provide children with fun, hands-on activities that nurture their creativity and curiosity outside the classroom. </p><p>To bring this program to life, Rush Philanthropic Director of Education at Rush, Meridith McNeal, and featured artist, Amanda Williams, collaborated with a different youth arts organization in each city to promote artistic expression and help bring communities across the country together.  &#39;Bounty is proud to be a part of Building Bounty-ful Bridges in recognizing art education as a priority for America&#39;s youth. Seeing the final mural truly depicts the creativity and different interpretations of each city,&#39; said Eric Higgs, brand manager, Bounty. &#34;Given the creative work and hands on approach Rush Philanthropic has already taken with kids around the country, they have made a great partner in bringing this program to life.&#34; </p><p>&#34;As art has been such a pivotal aspect in my life, I want the youth of today to realize that art can transform lives and bring people together by unleashing the imagination,&#34; said Russell Simmons, chairman and co-founder of Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation and entertainment mogul. &#39;This partnership with Rush Philanthropic and Bounty reinforces that idea.&#39; </p><p>After the program, each partnering organization will take turns exhibiting the completed mural allowing for this project to travel through the country.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PALO ALTO, Calif., Snapfish by HP, the No. 1 online photo service, today announced it is partnering with Walmart, the No. 1 retailer in the United States, and Duane Reade, the &#39;uniquely New York&#39; drug store chain.</p><p>Effective today, customers can pick up lab-quality photo prints or photo cards ordered on Snapfish.com in one hour from any of the 3,350 participating Walmart stores nationwide.</p><p>Beginning Nov. 14, Snapfish customers also will be able to pick up lab-quality photos from Duane Reade&#39;s more than 250 locations in metropolitan Manhattan, where the chain has the largest market share of any drug store retailer. Duane Reade customers also will have the option to collect large poster prints, wall calendars, hardcover photo books and photo cards at select stores.</p><p>The new relationships are expected to make Snapfish the largest print-to-store web destination in the United States.</p><p>&#39;InfoTrends research shows a growing shift from mail-order photo to retail pickup,&#39; said Alan Bullock, analyst, InfoTrends. &#39;We predict that online orders will account for nearly half of all retail photo printing within a few years.&#39;</p><p>Snapfish customers can find and choose a pickup location in their area quickly and easily by entering their zip code at checkout.</p><p>&#39;We are committed to offering Snapfish customers the ultimate in choice and convenience when it comes to printing their digital photos and gifts,&#39; said Ben Nelson, general manager, Snapfish by HP. &#39;Our relationships with Walmart and Duane Reade extend our reach and leadership in the print-to-store category, making our prints available for pickup in more than 10,000 retail locations nationwide.&#39;</p><p>The collaboration with Duane Reade will also extend HP&#39;s relationship with the retailer following an announcement earlier this year regarding the implementation of HP Retail Publishing Solutions in more than 200 stores. The web-to-store functionality powered by Snapfish in combination with the in-store hardware from HP allows consumers to create a wide range of photo products online for pickup at Duane Reade stores, using HP services throughout the process.</p><p>About HP</p><p>HP creates new possibilities for technology to have a meaningful impact on people, businesses and society.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beverly Hills, CA &#8212; Six writers have been selected as winners of the 24th annual Don and Gee Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Each writer or writing team will receive a prestigious $30,000 prize, the first installment of which will be distributed at a gala dinner in Beverly Hills on November 12.</p><p>This year&#39;s winners are (listed alphabetically by author):</p><p>    * Matt Ackley, Los Angeles, &#39;Victoria Falls&#39;<br />    * Vineet Dewan and Angus Fletcher, Los Angeles, &#39;Sand Dogs&#39;<br />    * John Griffin, Los Angeles, &#39;Dream Before Waking&#39;<br />    * Nidhi Anna Verghese, Los Angeles, &#39;Jallianwala Bagh&#39;<br />    * Jeff Williams, Wake Forest, N.C., &#39;Pure&#39;</p><p>For the seventh consecutive year a script written by a team earned its writers a fellowship; collaborative efforts were first allowed into the competition in 2001.</p><p>The winners were selected from a record 6,380 scripts submitted for this year&#39;s competition. The competition is open to any individual who has not sold or optioned a screenplay or teleplay for more than $5,000, or received a fellowship or prize that includes a &#39;first look&#39; clause, an option, or any other quid pro quo involving the writer&#39;s work.</p><p>Final judging of the competition was conducted by the Nicholl Committee, chaired by writer and 1992 Nicholl fellow Susannah Grant, and composed of writers Naomi Foner, Daniel Petrie, Jr., Tom Rickman and Dana Stevens; actor Eva Marie Saint; cinematographers John Bailey and Steven B. Poster; executive Bill Mechanic; producers Gale Anne Hurd, David Nicksay, Peter Samuelson and Robert W. Shapiro; marketing executive Buffy Shutt; and agent Ronald R. Mardigian.</p><p>Fellowships are awarded with the understanding that the recipients will each complete a feature-length screenplay during their fellowship year. The Academy acquires no rights to the works of Nicholl fellows and does not involve itself commercially in any way with their completed scripts.</p><p>Since the program&#39;s inception in 1985, 113 fellowships have been awarded, and a number of fellows have achieved considerable success. Recently Ehren Kruger, a 1996 fellow, co-wrote the box office success &#39;Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen&#39;; &#39;City Island,&#39; which was written and directed by 1991 fellow Raymond De Felitta, premiered at the 2009 Berlin and Tribeca film festivals; and James Mottern directed &#39;Trucker,&#39; which was released earlier this month, from his 2003 Nicholl-winning script. Additionally, 1992 fellow Andrew W. Marlowe created and executive produces ABC&#39;s &#39;Castle.&#39;</p><p>Nicholl Committee chair Susannah Grant adapted the screenplay for &#39;The Soloist,&#39; which opened earlier this year. She wrote and directed 2007&#39;s &#39;Catch and Release,&#39; and in 2000, she received an Academy Award&#174; nomination for her &#39;Erin Brockovich&#39; screenplay. She also earned writing credits on &#39;Charlotte&#39;s Web,&#39; &#39;In Her Shoes,&#39; &#39;28 Days,&#39; &#39;Ever After&#39; and &#39;Pocahontas.&#39;</p><p>Several other Nicholl fellows have had success in the film industry; to read more about them, visit <a href="http://www.oscars.org/awards/nicholl/fellows/notable.html" target="_blank">http://www.oscars.org/awards/nicholl/fellows/notable.html</a>.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID106756 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ART">Art / Graphics / Photography</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ENT">Entertainment</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=FLM">Film and Motion Picture</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=LSS">Lifestyle / Society</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=TVN">Television</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2009 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Art-Graphics-Photography/~4/ZPA13od-NTY" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

Users can now enjoy stronger colors and outstanding visual appearance in solid areas, in addition to the fine highlight detail and print consistency delivered by the award-winning KODAK FLEXCEL NX System.</p><p>This new feature, applied in the KODAK TIFF Front End Software, utilizes the unique high resolution capabilities of KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology and the 1:1 reproduction capabilities of the FLEXCEL NX System to create micro-texturization of the printing surface. The resulting improvements in ink transfer deliver enhanced print quality, as well as production efficiencies, allowing flexo platemakers to more easily mix areas of solids and halftones on the same plate. Additionally, the new feature helps to reduce set-up time on press with plates that come to color more quickly.</p><p>&#39;Extensive trials in the flexible packaging market have yielded excellent results. Customers have been delighted with the gravure-like appearance of the solid areas and amazed that they can now enjoy higher ink densities while still maintaining the finest highlight detail,&#39; said Emma Schlotthauer, Global Marketing Manager for Flexo Plates, Kodak. &#39;One user commented that, in their opinion, they were witnessing the biggest step forward in wide web flexo in the last 10 years.&#39; </p><p>Kodak has been recognized numerous times by the flexographic industry for its technical innovation. The FLEXCEL NX System was named this year as the sole recipient of the 2009 Flexographic Technical Association Technical Innovation Award. It also received the 2008 PIA/GATF InterTech Technology Award and the Flexographic Pre-Press Platemakers Association Technology Innovator of the Year Award.          </p><p>Designed to dramatically enhance the quality and efficiency of flexographic printing for applications such as tags and labels, folding cartons, and flexible packages, the FLEXCEL NX System enables offset class, gravure quality results for packaging printers and their brand owner clients, as well as improved productivity, and unprecedented simplicity and predictability on press.</p><p>&#34;The beauty of this new development is that it builds upon the core benefits of the 1:1 image reproduction and flat top dot structure that characterize the KODAK FLEXCEL NX System,&#39; noted Schlotthauer. &#39;Users of the new feature are reporting plate, ink and substrate savings, with printed results that are impressing clients and helping to drive new business.&#39;</p><p>KODAK Products are backed by KODAK Service and Support.

Judges include Leimei Julia Chui (Japan), Louis Gagnon (Canada), Cristina Chiappini (Italy), Garth Walker (South Africa), Tarek Atrissi (The Netherlands), Kyle Kim (Korea) and Lance Wyman (United States).</p><p>All winners received a round trip flight to Beijing and two nights accommodation to attend the Icograda World Design Congress 2009, a US$3,000 cash prize, a copy of Adobe&#174; Creative Suite&#174; 4 Master Collection, a winner&#39;s certificate, and a trophy.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TEWKSBURY, Mass. &#8212; Avid&#174; (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=AVID" target="_blank">NASDAQ: AVID</a>) reported revenues of $153.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $217.1 million for the same period in 2008. The GAAP net loss for the quarter was $16.2 million, or $.43 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $66.4 million, or $1.80 per share, in the third quarter of 2008. The third quarter 2008 results included a non-cash impairment charge of $51.3 million or $1.39 per share.</p><p>The GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2009 included amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, loss on asset sales and related tax adjustments, collectively totaling $17.0 million. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net income was $787 thousand for the third quarter, or $.02 per share.</p><p>&#39;We continue to execute on a number of strategic initiatives to improve the overall health and efficiency of our operations,&#39; said Gary Greenfield, Avid&#39;s chairman and CEO. &#39;The third quarter showed sequential improvement in revenue and expanded gross margins, resulting in another quarter of improving results.&#39;</p><p>Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 were $455.9 million, compared to revenues of $638.2 million for the same period in 2008. GAAP net loss for the first nine months of 2009 was $49.4 million, or $1.33 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $97.9 million, or $2.59 per share, for the same period in 2008. GAAP net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 included $39.1 million of amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, loss on asset sales and related tax adjustments. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net loss per share was $.28 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. GAAP net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 included $82.0 million of amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, impairment charges and related tax adjustments. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net loss per share was $.42 for the first nine months of 2008.</p><p>The company&#39;s cash balance on September 30, 2009 was $103.0 million, or approximately $2.76 per share. The company paid out approximately $4.9 million in cash in the third quarter related to restructuring activities.</p><p>Avid also announced that its Audit Committee is overseeing an investigation concerning the manner in which revenue was recognized on certain shipments of Audio products near the end of previous quarters from certain warehouses outside the United States. Based on the current progress of the investigation, Avid believes that there have been errors that affected the timing but not the amount of revenue recognized, and that correction of the errors likely will not have a material impact on its financial statements for the current or any prior period. This investigation was only recently commenced. Avid&#39;s expectations concerning the nature and materiality of these or any other errors are subject to change based on the final outcome of the investigation.<br />Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures</p><p>This press release contains &#39;non-GAAP financial measures&#39; under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This non-GAAP information supplements, and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with, disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The reconciliation for net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are in the tables attached to this press release.</p><p>The company uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to manage its business, for example, in establishing its annual operating budget, in assessing segment operating performance and for measuring performance under employee incentive compensation plans. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in its operating and financial decision-making because management believes these measures reflect the company&#39;s ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Accordingly, the company believes it is useful for investors and others to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to (a) understand and evaluate the company&#39;s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does and (b) compare in a consistent manner the company&#39;s current financial results with past financial results. The primary limitations associated with the company&#39;s use of non-GAAP financial measures are that these measures may not be directly comparable to the amounts reported by other companies and they do not include all items of income and expense that affect the company&#39;s operations. The company&#39;s management compensates for these limitations by considering the company&#39;s financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP and by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in this press release.<br />Conference Call</p><p>A conference call to discuss Avid&#39;s third quarter 2009 financial results will be held today, October 22, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. ET. The call will be open to the public and can be accessed by dialing 719.457.2617 and referencing confirmation code 4569475. The call and subsequent replay will also be available on Avid&#39;s website. To listen via this alternative, go to the Investors tab at <a href="http://www.avid.com/" target="_blank">http://www.avid.com/</a> for complete details prior to the start of the conference call.<br />Use of Forward-Looking Statements</p><p>The above release is subject to the completion and results of the audit committee&#39;s investigation described above and the completion and filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This release includes forward-looking statements, as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, about the anticipated impact of the audit committee&#39;s investigation described above, and these statements are subject to the outcome of such investigation. This release also makes forward-looking statements about Avid&#39;s performance.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SACRAMENTO, CA &#8211; With many couples scaling back on wedding plans and booking vendors closer to their date, many professionals in the wedding industry are nervous about what the future will hold for them. One Sacramento wedding photography company, The Memory Journalists, are using this time as a period for reflection and to revisit the company&#39;s persona.  </p><p>The Memory Journalists has been motivated to learn and improve over the last five years due to the timeless relationships established and positive feedback from clients. Considering the friendships that have been built with each new client, starting with engagement sessions and weddings to the birth of their first child and family portraits to follow, The Memory Journalists have grown into their slogan of the company:  &#39;Photographing the sweetness of life.&#39; </p><p>Deciding to launch a new site encapsulating all the &#39;sweetness&#39; the team has captured over the years took some research and dedication from the owner, Jennifer Dunham Starr, to find the right logo, design solution company and style.  &#39;As my business has evolved, I have come into a better understanding of myself creatively and personally.  I relish in the fleeting moments that mean the most, those natural emotions that could never be duplicated.  Embracing my love for each of these splendid events shaped our new slogan, photographing the sweetness in life,&#39; says Jennifer. </p><p>The new site, memoryjournalists.com, playfully draws attention to the primary service of The Memory Journalists with the real weddings galleries, testimonials of clients, and fellow industry professionals.  On The Memory Journalists blog, visitors can also find couple&#39;s date night (engagement session) photos, as well as the tidbits from behind the scenes of their wedding shared by the team.  The blog lets readers get to know each member of The Memory Journalists individually and understand their collective style.  The Memory Journalists realize that when you invite a photographer to participate in photographing the sweetness in your life, your trust lies with them in implementing your vision.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Lightroom beta delivers faster performance, refined image processing and streamlined publishing</p><p>SAN JOSE, Calif. - Adobe Systems Incorporated (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=ADBE" target="_blank">Nasdaq:ADBE</a>) introduced Adobe&#174; Photoshop&#174; Lightroom&#174; 3 beta software for Macintosh and Windows&#174;, a public preview of new and improved functionality to be delivered in the next major release. Lightroom is the essential digital photography workflow solution, helping serious amateur and professional photographers quickly import, manage, enhance and showcase all their images from one application. Available as a free download on Adobe Labs, Lightroom 3 beta delivers a preview of new tools that will be in Lightroom 3, including more intuitive importing, unparalleled noise reduction and sharpening tools, enhanced slideshow capabilities and direct publishing to online photo sharing sites like Flickr&#174;. Adobe encourages photographers to test this early selection of new features and provide the product team with their feedback.</p><p>&#39;We are extremely fortunate that a strong community of photographers have rallied around Lightroom, helping to evolve the application and making it a meaningful part of their photographic workflows,&#39; said Kevin Connor, vice president of product management for Professional Digital Imaging at Adobe. &#39;While we&#39;re still hard at work on Lightroom 3, we recognize the value our customers bring to the development process and want their input so we can deliver the best final product possible.&#39;</p><p>New in Lightroom 3 Beta<br />Lightroom 3 beta has been completely redesigned with under-the-hood efficiencies to better handle growing image libraries and improve responsiveness with a higher-quality processing engine. In the Library module, a rebuilt import system makes bringing photos into the software more intuitive. Users can easily specify the source and destination of their images, and save common processing, metadata or destination settings as easy-to-reuse presets.</p><p>The Library module also includes new capabilities to publish collections on popular photo-sharing sites. Flickr users now have direct access to their accounts from within Lightroom and can drag and drop images directly into their Photostreams. Flickr Pro account users can automatically synch their images and even view comments made on Flickr directly within the Library. This functionality can be extended to additional sites by adding them as new plug-ins once they become available.</p><p>In the Develop module, an overhauled processing engine allows users to create the highest quality images. Improved Capture Sharpening and Color Noise Reduction tools provide superior results while still preserving an image&#39;s edge detail and contrast. A new Grain tool adds a film-style grain to images, and two new Vignette modes help photographers get a more natural look.</p><p>Lightroom 3 beta also offers advanced output options, including the ability to export slideshows as videos with audio and title screens that can be posted to video-sharing sites or optimized for mobile media. New watermarking capabilities enable photographers to embed text or graphic information directly on an image and then adjust the size, position and opacity. In addition, photographers can customize print layouts and save settings for future use, giving them refined control over their images.</p><p>Adobe Photoshop Family<br />Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended software are at the heart of the Photoshop family, joined by solutions for users at every level who want to bring out the best in their digital images. Photoshop Lightroom addresses the workflow needs of serious amateur and professional photographers, helping them manage, find, enhance and showcase images in impactful ways. Adobe Photoshop Elements software provides exciting tools and sharing options for photo enthusiasts. Lastly, snap shooters can access Photoshop.com for free to simply fix and enhance photos, and quickly share those images on Photoshop.com or on social-networking sites.</p><p>Pricing and Availability<br />Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 beta is available as a free download to anyone on both Macintosh and Windows platforms. Visit to learn more and download the beta.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>VALHALLA, N.Y. &#8211; FUJIFILM Graphic Systems U.S.A., Inc., is reporting an increase in sales and sales inquiries in the weeks following the PRINT 09 Show.  The company attributes the upturn to substantial investments in R&#38;D, strategic partnerships and acquisitions.  </p><p>With industry-leading businesses that include Fujifilm Sericol, Fujifilm Dimatix, and Fuji Xerox as partners, Fujifilm Graphic Systems is able to leverage advances in printing and graphic arts technology that provide customers with opportunities to profit in the evolving printing marketplace. </p><p>&#39;At PRINT 09, our customers saw the fruits of our investments, including the North American debut of the new Fujifilm Inkjet Digital Press - a culmination of the collaboration among Fujifilm group companies,&#39; said Masahiro Ota, president and chief executive officer of FUJIFILM Graphics U.S.A.  &#39;Together with the Inca Onset S20 and Fujifilm Sericol&#39;s leading ink technologies, as centerpieces in Fujifilm&#39;s exhibit booth, we have never seen a more positive response from customers and prospective buyers.&#39;</p><p>According to Mr. Ota, in selecting Fujifilm, printers are choosing a partner that has the financial health and strength not only to guide their businesses, but to also lead the industry.  </p><p>A leading securities firm, Mizuho Securities, recently upgraded its recommendation for Fujifilm&#39;s stock. The analyst observed that Fujifilm was, &#34;now more likely to achieve record-high profits in fiscal 2011/12.&#34; (Forbes/Reuters) This assessment of Fujifilm&#39;s strength speaks to the success of the company&#39;s diversification into new businesses, and to its ability to reinvigorate traditional businesses by identifying high potential opportunities within their markets. </p><p>In Fujifilm&#39;s most recent report to shareholders, Graphic Arts was called out as one of the company&#39;s five priority business fields for growth, listing the following objectives for its print businesses: </p><p>&#8226;	Fujifilm&#39;s continuous R&#38;D investment in the printing and graphic arts business.<br />&#8226;	Employ Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox&#39;s inkjet and xerography technologies and effectively coordinating such management resources as marketing channels and brand values in the digital printing market.<br />&#8226;	Aim for the top global market share for CTP plates.</p><p>In the face of the current economic challenges, Fujifilm remains committed to leveraging its heritage in the printing and graphic arts field to introduce new solutions for profitable revenue generation.</p><p>&#39;While it may seem counterintuitive or even a bit intimidating, economic climates such as the current one do offer business owners an opportunity to grow,&#39; said Mr. Ota. &#39;This kind of growth requires both a focus on what&#39;s most important:  cash flow, cost control, expansion of services and capabilities and effective marketing, as well as having a strong and reliable partner like Fujifilm.  </p><p>&#39;Our theme at the Print 09 show was &#39;In Control.&#39; That&#39;s what we do, especially in times of economic uncertainty, help our customers remain in control and stay focused on what&#39;s most important to their businesses.&#39;</p><p>About FUJIFILM Graphic Systems U.S.A., Inc.<br />As the nation&#39;s largest distributor of equipment, consumables and technical services for the graphic communications industry, FUJIFILM Graphic Systems U.S.A., Inc. has assembled best-in-class solutions &#8211; including products and technical support &#8211; to deliver exactly what our customers need to stay in control and ahead of their competition. </p><p>We deliver solutions for workflow, process control, remote monitoring, color standardization, pressroom products, CTP, proofing, digital printing, wide format and more.
