GPS Data panel now available for CS5

We’ve just posted a GPS Data panel (download for Mac, Win) that extends the File Info dialog in CS5 applications (Photoshop, Bridge, Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator, and InDesign). The panel (see screenshot) offers a simple way to see parameters like latitude, longitude, and altitude.

Installation notes:

• On the Mac, make sure you install into the main Library path, not the user-specific one. (Somehow I often stumble on that one.)
• Please make sure that the package files (“bin” and “manifest.xml”) go into a folder called “gpsData.”

onOne posts free 64-bit, CS5-compatible updates

I’m pleased to see that onOne has released 64-bit-native, CS5-compatible versions of Plug-In Suite, Genuine Fractals, FocalPoint, PhotoTools, PhotoTune, PhotoFrame, and Mask Pro–all as free updates. Check out PM Mike Wong’s blog for more info & download links.
