Tenba go elegant
Tenba’s range of Cooper bags offers classic elegance and practical performance. These messenger- style bags are made from soft cotton canvas with leather trim and classy fittings like hand-rivetted zipper pulls. Materials have been chosen for their balance of style, strength and light weight. The peach-wax cotton canvas exterior, leather base and trim have been specially coated for excellent water repellency. Smart finish is important but the bags have been designed with day- to-day use in mind. Quick access, a laptop/tablet pocket, rain cover, side pockets and a removable padded insert are key features of note. The bags also feature Quiet Velcro so you have the option of getting to your kit without making yourself the centre of attention.

AfterShot updated
Corel AfterShot Pro 2.3 is a non- subscription software which costs $79.99 with these three operating systems that are catered for: Linux, Mac andWindows. One cool aspect for users of Photoshop CS6 is an improved Send to External Editor function so AfterShot users can process Raws from the latest cameras and quickly export files to CS6 for final editing.
Corel aims to provide ongoing Raw support to Aftershot while Adobe has said that it will no longer update Camera Raw for CS6. That is one aspect of course and there is much more. For example, Corel’s tests have shown AfterShot to be faster than Lightroom for image importing and processing. There is plenty of editing potential too, including HDR tools, local
contrast control and better batch processing. If the idea of a one-off purchase for workflow software appeals to you, have a look at AfterShot Pro 2.3.
