links to our Photographing your Jewelry Demo at the IPCA Retreat in Columbus

hi,
For those of you who've wandered over here from looking for information on my demo on Photographing Your Jewelry as presented at the IPCA retreat in Columbus last week,  here are my links.

The set up we demo’ed on was purchased from Doug Baldwin at http://www.dougbaldwinphoto.com/lightboxes.html , and as Beth and I indicated, if you ever get a chance to take a live class with him, go for it. Purchase information on his lightboxes is  at the bottom of the page.

The software that I normally use is Corel’s Paintshop Pro X6. They’ve just released version X7, and I’ll be waiting until the price drops a bit, but at $79, it’s still quite a bit less than Adobe’s full version. They're offering a free trial at http://www.paintshoppro.com/en/free-trials/default.html
