Bye bye Plimus?

As some of you may be aware we have used Plimus for our ecommerce for a number of years now and in the main they have been pretty good. Recently however they seem to be letting their standards slip with regard to fraud checking the orders. Two incidents in particular have given me cause for concern and I’m currently awaiting their response to the concerns I have raised. If they do not address these satisfactorily then it’s  likely that we’ll transfer all of our products over to Fastspring who have been handling The Works IV orders for us.

I would point out that the problems with Plimus DO NOT affect our customers in any way whatsoever – it relates solely to the way Plimus protect 1clickactions as a vendor.

Border Maker

Had a few questions regarding the Border Maker program mentioned in the Newsletter. It will be available soon (very cheap!) – the version for CS4 works fine already and is just about ready for release. Unfortunately CS5 and CS6 changed a few things and this is the cause of the delay.
The image below is an example of a Border Maker generated border – cool thing is each one is different. You can apply it to the open image or use an open image file (textures are good) to generate borders for use on other images. It’s not going to be a major release but it is good fun (it appeals to me anyway but perhaps I should just get out more).

Visual Black and White on sale now.

The first of the ‘Visual Series’ – Visual Black and White  went on sale today at $34.95. Existing customers should have received a newsletter with the discount code.

Visual BW includes around 25 color to BW conversion routines, over 20 toning effects (including some interesting vintage simulations) and over 20 borders and edges . All elements can be run separately or in combination (so that’s a lot of possible variations!) and the result can be previewed on your own photo so you can check out the result before you run it.

You can add your own borders and edges too – Visual BW will size and position them for you automatically (à la BAT) and you get to preview the results.

This will most likely (99% certain) be the interface on the release version of Visual BW.
