Microsoft making Outlook photographer friendly

Microsoft has come up with a new plug in to help photographers remember what equipment they need for their shoots.

The free plug in called Pro Photo Shoot.It allows photographers to attach and create a list of equipment needed to their scheduled appointments.

This comes from Microsofts gradual attempts to draw in the photography enthusiast.

In this same vein, they have also standardised HD photo as JPEG XR, which allows storage of higher quality images,as well as window vistas support for viewing , tagging, printing and other wise dealing with RAW images.

Being of vacant mind on occasion , i know having a list of what i need for each shoot would definetly come in handy for me...

  2. Thanks emily, I am keen to see if the plug in has more capabilities within outlook, like ties to scheduling and project management. Seems like it will become essential for a freelance operator with multiple jobs on the go (ps. don't feel alone with the posting thing, i have yet to get access to the amazing b-mphotography blog, which is definitely worth adding to your monitored RSS feeds ;-) owyn
