  1Password

  1Password is a Password Manager that uniquely brings you both Security and Convenience. It is the only program that provides Anti-Phishing protection and goes beyond password management by adding Web Form Filling and Automatic Strong Password Generation. All your confidential information, including passwords, identities, and credit cards, is kept in one secure place provided by Apple's OS X Keychain.

  1Password browser extensions support Safari, Camino, Firefox, OmniWeb, DEVONagent, NetNewsWire, Netscape Navigator, and Flock. All browser extensions share the data stored in the keychain which means you never need to manually copy your passwords between browsers or from the password manager to a browser ever again!

  1Password has received numerous awards, including 4.5 mice from Macworld magazine, MacLife Editors pick, and was the Pick of Week on MacBreak Weekly by both Leo Laporte and Merlin Mann.

  Adobe DNG Converter

  Adobe DNG Converter takes nearly every Camera RAW file on the market (NEF, CRW, PTX...) and transcodes it into an open standard format developed by Adobe. By removing proprietary specifications and encryption built in by camera manufacturers, the purpose is to ensure your digital negatives can be opened at any point in the future.

  Benefits to DNG include better file compression without losing any pixel data (lossless); the ability to embed and extract the original RAW file; and saving internal metadata (instead of sidecar XMP files) when using Adobe software like Bridge to make non-destructive adjustments.

  New versions of the app are released regularly to support new Camera RAW formats.

  Note: The download archive also comes with the latest RAW plugin for the latest CS and Elements. If you have an earlier version of Photoshop please see the
  full download page for prior plugin versions, which can be used alongside the most recent DNG app. Always check the Readme for full details.

It also features a "Quicklaunch" box which gives you immediate access to your friends' profiles (just start typing a friend's name and it will autocomplete – press enter and go to that friend's profile) and Facebook searches (type a phrase and press enter). Notifications are issued using Growl and can be customized to the user's liking (including turning on/off and customizing display style). They are:

  * A friend updated his profile
  * A friend changed his status
  * A friend wrote a new note
  * Someone wrote on your wall
  * You have new messages
  * You have new pokes
  * You have new friend requests
  * You have new photo comments

  FMenu checks for updates by default every 5 seconds (or at whatever interval you set), but checks for each kind of notification (friend details, friend requests, wall, photo comments, messages, pokes, events) separately. Consequently each particular type of notification is refreshed once every 35 seconds.

  Geotagger

  Geotagger is a droplet for inserting GPS coordinates into your photos.

  Simply position Google Earth (version 4 only) over the location you wish to insert into your images, then drag your images (jpegs only) onto the Geotagger icon. Once the images are tagged the information stays with them so you can import them to iPhoto, upload them to Flickr or Panoramio or any number of other things. If you choose iPhoto you may want to check out a plugin I wrote that will export your photos to a KMZ file that you can open in Google Earth and see your photos on the globe.

  You can drag images from prettymuch anywhere. But if you drag them from iPhoto it won't show the changes have taken place. The data has been saved to the file but iPhoto has cached the Exif information and doesn't check the image for updates. I recommend tagging images before importing them to iPhoto.
