Since we’ve transitioned to our new store I want to be sure our current customers know how to get there and sign-in. Current customers must go to our “Recover Password”  page on their first visit to Sign-In. We’ve transferred all user information from our old store. Here’s all you have to do:

1. Go to our Recover Password page. Enter the email address you used in the old cart and click the “Recover Password” button.
2. The store will send you an email with a link to complete the process. Just follow the instructions.

Once you click the email link you should be taken to your profile page where you can change your Password, Username, and other account information.

Then, access to the store is easy. You can go to our new store’s sign-in page either by clicking the “Sign-In” link in the upper-right corner of any page of our web site, or by clicking here.

If you’re a relatively new customer, and have already used our new store, you can ignore these steps.

We think your experience will be much improved. Let us know what you think of the new store!

Small in size, big on space

We’ve added some great little flash drives to our shopping cart. Offered in 8GB and 16GB sizes, they have plenty of room for you to send us those big events. They even come pre-loaded with our required folder structure to make submitting orders a breeze. And their small size means lower shipping costs than sending us an external mini hard drive. They will arrive boxed with a lanyard. Finally we’ve added our logo for all of our proud Silverback customers!

Even if you use them for other purposes, pick one or two up and show them to your peers. Then they’ll understand why you always look so relaxed and actually have a life!

They are currently on sale at 10% off list price.

Visit our shopping cart and order one today!

That’s right, we’ve started a ’Silver-Bucks’ Reward Program for our Plan customers. Each time you order one of the Plans in our Post-Production category, you will receive Silver-Bucks that can be used toward the purchase of a Plan in a future transaction. One Silver-Buck equals one dollar that you can apply to a future Plan purchase. The Bucks you earn will allow you to get a Plan for free after 10 Plan purchases! On our 1000E plan that’s a $720 value!

No action is required on your part to participate in the program. Silver-Bucks automatically accumulate with each Plan you purchase. You can track your Silver-Bucks by looking in the ‘My Account’ page, and can apply them to your purchase at checkout1. You can use the Silver-Bucks you’ve accumulated any time, there’s no need to wait until you’ve purchased 10 plans. Once you exhaust your Silver-Bucks account balance, you’ll start earning Bucks again with your next Plan purchase.

We value your loyalty and our Silver-Bucks Reward Program is just a one way of saying ‘thank-you’ to our valued customers. If you haven’t become a customer yet click here to sign up!

1 Silver-Bucks are only awarded to your account through Plan purchases, and may only be used to purchase a Plan.

Every year at WPPI Kubota Image Tools comes out with something new and this year I was wondering what it would be. I had an opportunity to checkout the new “Dashboard 3 Pro” for Photoshop®. Trust me, you’ll want to get this time saving tool.

Dashboard3 Pro – $49.00

If you’re a heavy Action user, this is an absolute must have. The pro version of the time-saving Dashboard allows you to totally ignore your Photoshop® action pallet. That’s right, after you install the Dashboard3 Pro you can minimize your Photoshop® action palette and forget it’s even there. That’s because Dashboard3 Pro reads all of the Action Sets and underlying actions from the Action Palette no matter the source. So Dashboard3 Pro organizes your Kubota actions, any actions you’ve created, and any actions you’ve purchased from another source. Kevin has brilliantly made Dashboard THE place from which to manage and launch all of your actions.

Favorites

By CTRL-clicking on any action you mark it as a favorite. This feature, also available in the basic version of Dashboard, is invaluable. Now, after you’ve marked those dozen or so actions that you constantly use as favorites, you can immediately access all of them as a list by selecting the “Favorites” category in Dashboard. Then simply select the action you want to use from the list, click “Apply” and let the magic happen.

Keywords

You can also apply your own searchable keywords to any action to create a quick and easy way to access them. Think about it. You can tag all of the actions you use to enhance your senior images with the word “Senior.” All of the actions you use to create your studio’s wedding look with “Wedding.” And all of the actions you use to do those tedious but necessary adjustments with “Tools.” They all become immediately available by typing a single word. What genius!

Dashboard3 Pro isn’t available in the KIT web store yet. We’ll add a link to this post when it is.
