Sekonic
Sekonic (www.sekonic.com) unveiled the L-758DR DigitalMaster; the first light
meter that can be programmed to match the sensitivity of digital camera sensors
or types of film for perfect exposure control. The L-758DR can compensate for
variation in exposure accuracy caused by different ISO settings, light sources,
measuring methods, and file formats. Up to three different exposure profiles
can be stored at the same time and recalled with a quick keystroke. Distributed
in the U.S. by the MAC Group.

TreasureKnit
TreasureKnit (www.treasureknit.com) transforms your photographs into paintings
with its new TKCanvas technology, which uses digital brush strokes to mimic
the look and feel of a painting. The image is then printed on high-quality
textured canvas using museum-quality, acid-free, pigmented archival ink. Then
a UV resistant, roll-laminated film is applied to the TKCanvas using heat to
provide maximum protection from the sun, scratches, and moisture. Each TKCanvas
is stretched and wrapped around an interior wood frame and mounted with picture
staples, allowing each image to be hung with or without a frame.
