daikini software now offering Photon and PhotoToTypePad for Free
Photon and
PhotoToTypePad are two great iPhoto plugins offered by
daikini software, and they are both now compatible with
iPhoto 5. The good news doesn’t end there, my fellow Mac friends,
because the two plugins used to cost $7; a very good price for such great software, however, the price is even better
now. daikini has lowered the price point to zero, that’s right, both products are free.
I use PhotoToTypePad every time I need to post a photo
album to my Typepad site. It allows me to organize all my photos in iPhoto, and
forces me to input headers and comments into each picture so that they will show up on my website. Not only does this
save me from the effort of resizing the photos manually, it also has the added bonus of making my iPhoto library that
much richer since I input so much information into it.
I haven’t used Photon as much, but it allows you to post one to many pictures as entries to your blog
(MovableType, TypePad,
Blojsom or
WordPress 1.5+) with any categories you would like.
One final note about the publisher of this software, I bought and paid for a license for PhotoToTypePad before it was
free (obviously). The day that it was annouced as free software I looked in my email and lo and behold there was a
refund for my $7 registration fee.
Stay classy, daikini software.

Crazy. I'd only just heard of Photon yesterday and now it's free. January has been a good month.

I can't believe they refunded your money, that's pretty dang cool. I would definitely try it out if I stored my digital photos on my Mac. (Desktop PC harddrive is much bigger)
Good Photon to MovableType write up by Douglas Bowman (http://www.stopdesign.com/log/2005/01/17/galleries.html). Really detailed.

Yep, they refunded my money as well. Photon has totally changed my photo-management workflow and has allowed me to easily set up a photolog without having to deal with uploading files and synching up filenames.
Truly, very, classy.

Great stuff, but... the word press support is for the beta not the release candidate software, and i am not keen on upgrading yet, damn maybe when 1.5 is ready for prime time i'll try, but in the mean time i'll take the free stuff and not lookthe gift horse in the mouth i guess
