The new iPod arrives!

thumbnailThe new iPod incorporates the Apple Click Wheel that was first introduced on the iPod mini. It offers up to 12 hours of battery life. Weighing in at just 158 grams, it gets thinner with each new generation!

The iPod continues to define what a digital music player should be. With the Click Wheel, you can select playlists, scroll through a long list of albums or artists, and choose just the song you want to hear without ever lifting your thumb from the wheel.

Noise Ninja for Mac

thumbnailNoise is a fact of life in digital imaging. Digital cameras can be virtually noiseless at low ISOs. But once the ISO gets to 400 and above noise starts to creep in.

At the high ISO settings required for indoor photography and fast-action sports, noise can be so acute that it makes an image look like sandpaper. Even "clean" images shot at low ISO may reveal noise when enlarged.

PictureCode's Noise Ninja software solves the image noise problem using new technology. It does it quickly and easily. Moreover, it is built to bring the most out of raw camera files and high-quality film scans.
