100 Mind Street is transitioning to a heavier multimedia shop, and one of the important components to creating original imagery is the investment in quality digital photos like the lovely snapshot at the right. We have gone against the mold to some extent and are committed to using Sony DSLR products. There are many reasons for the choice, but that is a topic for another post.

For anyone who bought a Sony alpha-series DSLR in the past year or so, there are now updates available for most of the software that ships with the camera. Check the Sony support site to get your updated software.

  • The updated RAW driver allows thumbnails of Sony RAW files (.ARW) to be displayed in the Windows shell.
  • Sony’s Picture Motion Browser is now up to version 3.3. It’s a major upgrade feature-wise and performance wise from the version 2.0 that shipped with my camera.
  • The Image Data tools (Image Data Lightbox and Image Data) also have major upgrades.
