Free utility for renaming files
If you’re manually managing your photo imports, one of the most important steps is to rename your photos when copying them from memory cards. I use A Better Finder Rename and it’s been a great must-have tool in my photography workflow. Smith Micro is currently offering a file renaming utility called Photo A.K.A for free. Not sure how long this offer is going to last, so go on to Smith Micro’s site and download a copy now. Free registration required to check-out from their online store. Mac only.Resize your images with WebResizer

For the times when you’re using someone’s computer and couldn’t find a good image resizer, the WebResizer gets the job done in a jiffy. Not only does it resize, it lets you tweak contrast, saturation, tint, exposure, add border, set image quality and many other cool stuff. Chances are your image will be ready for a blog post or emailing before Photoshop fully launches. Well worth a look.
Amazing skills
The attention to detail on these photos are crazy, especially when I realise how it’s done. Amazing works by Michael Paul Smith.

DIY Camera Sling
If you’ve been eyeing the R-Strap or the recently launched Luma Loop, but hasn’t got the moolah to plonk into either one, this is a great way to make your own camera sling. Camera insurance not included.

My favourite photography-related iPhone apps
Following the 4 apps from Macworld I mentioned earlier, there’s couple more that I use too and am pretty amazed by what they can do:
PhotoCalc
PhotoCalc’s been around for sometime and packs quite a number of features that’s great especially for people who are just getting into digital photography. It has a few ‘calculators’ such as Flash Exposure, Depth of Field, Solar and my favourite Exposure. The Solar calculator is great to figure out the exact time for sunrise and sunset, a great tool for landscape photographers. The Glossary tool is prefect for casual reference too.
