Soft proofing (the ability to colour match between the screen and the printer in the app)

Price drop!!!

This is another thing on the shopping list (any donations will be greatly appreciated at this time!)

Multi focus points (finally! Great for focusing on things off centre)
Dual card support (ever ran out of memory before???)

Disappointed…a little, but it means that we won’t have to fork out a lot of $$$ (US$3500 or £2999!!!) for a while (but any generous person reading … Read More »

The new website is here!

This is the reason why we have been quiet!

Built from the ‘ground’ up, the new website has merged the separate blog and gallery into one neat little package and…you can view this from your smartphone, iPad, etc…

There are some minor issues (gallery links to Facebook) but we hope to fix this soon. In the meantime, enjoy, any feedback would be appreciated.

Finally, the pics from last week’s launch at Imagine spa are in the press.

There are a few others but here’s a snip.

The stuff that wasn’t published

Last night saw the launch of the all new Imagine Spa at the new Hilton Heathrow T5.

Great turnout and quite impressive facilities.

A quick shout out to Dave and the team at Imagine Spa, Hayley & Team at Gorgeous Star PR for a job well done.

It was a cold night by the water but the lovely ladies managed to brave the cold and got several good shots.

Thanks to Catherine & Hannah @ Violet’s Knickers, the staff at Rum & Sugar for putting on a good night and models that didn’t bite my head off: Tori & Beth (Beth, thanks for being available under very short notice!)
