• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Interesting: Phocus 2.5 is free from Hasselblad for Windows or Mac

Passing this along to my Stormtrack brethren (especially the Mac users out there, but a Windows version is also available):

A high-end Photo processing application for free? Yep: Phocus 2.5 from Hasselblad. You need some pretty serious hardware specs to take advantage of it, but it seems to be getting some rave reviews.

Significant is the Mac version's support for 150 cameras (like Aperture 3) taking advantage of Mac OS X's built-in camera support architecture. Not sure what (how many) cameras are supported in the Windows version. Maybe somebody with a beefy system can install it and let us know?

Considering Aperture 3 is a $200 program, it would be interesting to see what a Mac user thinks of it. Unfortunately, I don't have an Intel-based Mac yet, so someone out there will have to give us their impressions. (When you do, please tell us your hardware specs, RAM, etc.)
