A couple of weeks ago we showed you our favourite iPhone photography apps, well Apple have just rolled out their Mac App Store and there's a few more things we'd like to bring to your attention.

Namely the fact that there are some impressive savings to be had for those willing to forgo a bit of unnecessary packaging and download their photo software.

First off there is iPhoto '11 (the same bit of software we told you about here). If this is the only part of the iLife package you're after, you no longer need to shell out £45 for the privilege. It's only £8.99 on the new store.

Apple have recently released the '11 version of their iLife package, complete with the latest version of their photo editing and organisation software iPhoto '11. And while no-one will be ditching Photoshop CS5 for it anytime soon, there's plenty of new features which will be of interest to those who find it installed on their shiny new Mac or opt for the £45 upgrade.

But first of all, let's take a quick look at the software, which has become the default go-to photo editing application for for OSX users since it was  introduced in 2002 - and bundled with every new Mac.

As a photographer, images are important. But carrying a camera with me everywhere I go can be a daunting task - but without my trusty camera I find myself missing some great moments! I have my trusty Blackberry of course, but have to admit the image quality has a lot to be desired (granted my standards may be higher than the average user!).

I recently had the opportunity to check out the Sony Ericsson C905a Cyber-Shot Camera, which happens to also be a phone that works on the AT&T Network. There are a lot of amazing features in this phone, but I am going to focus on the photo portion of it since that is what we tested it for!

This is by far one of the most exciting things we have had cross our desks here at Cool Photo Ideas! When Rob from Ontela first reached out to me several months ago, I have to be honest I was confused as to what they did and put them off to the side. That was a mistake! He contacted me a second time a few weeks back telling me they reached a deal with Verizon Wireless - and that had my interest since I am a Verizon kind of girl - so he kindly sent me a phone to test - yes, a phone! The magic of Ontela is that they allow you to shoot images with your phone and easily get those images off your phone - and I mean easy!

CONGRATULATIONS #110 Bobby Campbell, the winner of our Corel Paint Shop Pro Giveaway!

Back in my early days of digital scrap booking, when I actually feared the computer - I used Corel Paint Shop Pro to create what I thought was then beautiful digital masterpieces. Those pieces now stay hidden in the closet due to shame, but that is not because of Corel, but because of my inability to be creative!
