Add-O-Matic 11 released!

My app for Elements, Add-O-Matic, is now in its newest edition – this newest version now offers support for Lightroom presets, too!

Add-O-Matic has been making life easier for Elements users since Elements 5, and now Lightroom users can take advantage of it too.  It’s especially simple if you use both Elements and LR – all your goodies and presets will be put away with a single click!

What?? It’s also 25% off for while??  Shut Up!   No, it’s true!

 

Photoshop Elements 11 & Add-O-Matic

A few signs that Autumn is on the way:

  • the nights are getting cooler
  • the squirrels have stepped up acorn collection activities
  • football games on Fridays and Saturdays
  • the leaves are beginning to turn to yellow and orange
  • a new version of Photoshop Elements is out!

PSE11_screen

You probably noticed from the screenshot that there’s an entirely new interface, and a nifty Actions palette.

Many things have been rearranged and reorganized, so getting around this new version (at least for previous users of Photoshop Elements) may take a few exploratory trips through the various panels and menus.

And how about that nice light grey color scheme..!

 

So what does this mean for Add-O-Matic?

As I’m writing this, AOM is going through a few facelifts of its own.  Here’s what to look for in the new Add-O-Matic 11:

  • support for Elements versions 8, 9, 10 & 11
  • a new (but still familiar!) interface and ease of operation: AOM will now go to all installed versions of Elements instead of prompting you for a version!
  • support for all the usual Photoshop extensions, including actions, layer styles, custom shapes and plug-ins
  • Lightroom Preset support!  Now you can use AOM to add presets to Lightroom!

Look for it in in early October, and as always leave a few comments and feature requests – now is the time!

Add-O-Matic upgrades to version 10!

Add-O-Matic 10A few new enhancements for the upcoming Add-O-Matic 10:

What’s new in Add-O-Matic 10? (New features are in red)

  • Add-O-Matic 10 will correctly add your extra goodies to Photoshop Elements 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10, including Layer Styles, Action Effects, Brushes, Custom Shapes and more. A full listing of supported file types is listed on the Add-O-Matic page in the Grafishop (and soon on Facebook)
  • The interface remains unchanged (if it ain’t broke, why fix it?). You still simply unzip your downloaded goodies to your desktop or another convenient location, drag them into the grey drop spot on the Add-O-Matic interface, click the GO! button, and let AOM do the shuffling and sorting for you.
  • Multiple version support: If multiple versions of Elements are installed on your system, AOM will find them and ask which version you want to add the new goodies to.
  • .XML file support: AOM10 will put .xml files away for you!
  • Action effect thumbnail support:thumb  When adding an action (*.atn) file to the Add-O-Matic, you will be prompted to choose an image to represent it in the Photo Effects palette (.png image only). If you don’t have or don’t want a particular image, Add-O-Matic will use the generic blue Add-O-Matic thumbnail. (PLEASE NOTE that you still can’t drag image files to the grey drop spot in the AOM – the only image support is via this new action effect subroutine.)
  • Database rebuilding utility: Add-O-Matic 10 will include a separate Database Rebuilder utility which allows you to quickly rebuild the internal Media and Thumbnail databases that Photoshop Elements uses to display your goodies.
  • Compressed archive messages: Previously, Add-O-Matic would give an error message if a .zip archive was added to the grey drop spot.  This resulted in some confusion as other compression methods became more popular.  Now Add-O-Matic will give you a nudge to first decompress archive the most popular compressed archive formats .rar & .7z before adding their contents to AOM.
  • Lightroom Presets (tentative – still working this out): Add-O-Matic 10 will put Lightroom presets in the correct directory if you have Lightroom installed.

Add-O-Matic 10 will be available for download this weekend, and the usual upgrade policy will apply (pretty much the same policy as Adobe):

  • if you purchased Add-O-Matic since September 1 2011, you will get the free upgrade automatically.
  • if you are a previous owner of the Add-O-Matic (as well as the other effect packs available in the Graffishop), you will get the usual 25% off upgrade price
  • The price will stay the same – $19.99 – which will include the new features listed above & the new Database Rebuilder utility.

If you really like the Add-O-Matic, LIKE it on Facebook! 

Graficalicus.com doesn’t have a marketing budget, so I hope for positive word-of-mouth to spread the word about the AOM and the other action photo effect packs in the Graffishop.

thank you!
