Here is a video tutorial from the book ‘CS4 the Ultimate Workshop’ by Martin Evening and Jeff Schewe.
This isn’t exactly a hidden feature in Camera Raw, but this movie does demonstrate a workaround for correcting perspective of raw files while keeping them fully editable in Camera Raw. Here’s how it can be done.

Zone Zero is calling for your images to add to their gallery reflecting the world wide responses to the spread of Swine Flu.
Zone Zero is based in Mexico and is one of the most visited photo web sites in the world, created by Pedro Meyer.
links: Zone Zero Influenza & Pedro Meyer editorial
As you may well know, Mexico City is completely paralyzed due to the outbreak of the new influenza virus. The World Health Organizations has raised to 5 the global alert level, and many countries are already taking preventive meassures, and many others already have an important number of confirmed cases.
We would like to ask all of you to share with us what is happening in your cities regarding this unprecedented situation. We think that the best we can do in difficult times is to feel a sense of togetherness with our communities, and to express ourselves creatively.
Wishing health to all of you!

Back in January 08 we reported on a set of Robert Capa’s images which had not been seen since 1939.
When the three weathered cardboard boxes — known collectively as the Mexican suitcase – arrived at the International Center of Photography more than a year ago, one of the first things a conservator did was bend down and sniff the film coiled inside, fearful of a telltale acrid odor, a sign of nitrate decay. Not only were they in decent condition, but there was also work by Gerda Taro and his Magnum colleague David Seymour.
The images from these rolls of film from the Spanish Civil War can now be seen, 70 years later.

April 27, 2009 Magnum in association with The Photographers Gallery is holding a Portfolio review event “First Impressions” in London.
First Impressions will provide keen amateurs and emerging professionals wishing to take the next logical step in their careers with an honest evaluation and critical analysis of their photographic work. Reviews will be 20 minutes each with a 5-minute changeover period. Each participant will be reviewed by 3 different Magnum photographers and you will be able to state your preference of reviewer in the application process (review organisers reserve the right to allocate the times of each session). Please note that whilst we will do our utmost to accommodate each request, we cannot guarantee your selected reviewers. Magnum photographers will be allocated on a first come, first served basis so the sooner you apply, the higher your chances of being granted your primary choice of reviewers.
