Carmen Ferrara’s Weblog 2.0

I’m very pleased to announce the release of Presio 1.0. The new site went live several days ago and the first official release is now available for download and/or purchase. The first available release is tagged 1.1.110 (release notes below - lot’s of fixes and some new features too).

I think the new site looks great and there is now lot’s of good information on using Presio as well as some example applications. I plan on adding more “how to” tutorials to the support section of the site and will also begin posting tips on the blog.

As part of my push to a final 1.0 of Presio, I’m creating a lot of “how to” screencast tutorials covering key features. I thought I’d share some here. These will all be posted as part of the new site redesign as well.

In this brief video, I demonstrate how to use the new Presio Image Editor tool, and specifically how to annotate (or draw) text directly on to a slide.

I’m happy to announce the availability of Presio 1.0 Beta. This is the first official 1.0 release. However, I’m still tagging this release with the Beta moniker as I’m finalizing user documentation and a new website. Presio is now feature complete and stable enough to warrant a 1.0 release. A final release, along with the ability to purchase licenses is around the corner. You can download the latest version from the Beta page: http://www.ipresent.net/products/presio_beta.html
