Photoshop Evolution
Photoshoppers, have you use them all before? I started at Photoshop 7.0. Looks like the masking tool is an add-on, PS.87 and PS1 doesn’t have the masking icon on the palette.

Review:HDR Software
Essential HDR is an HDR generator and tonemapper. It has a global and a local tonemapping operator. The local TMO (Detail Revealer) is the big selling point. According to the developers it is a new algorithm that produces less artifacts (halos, over-saturation) and runs at a decent speed (multicore support). I can wholeheartedly agree: this is indeed a very powerful tonemapper. Without much fuzz I got a very natural images, the preview is pretty accurate, and it is super-easy to use. For control freaks there might be too few sliders, but I find it very intuitive.
