Next on the block in my series on mice is the Logitech MX620 cordless laser mouse. Of all the mice that I am reviewing in this series, this is the first one that I had not used before. It’s pretty slick-lookin too.

Workflow problems?
Discover how these time-saving tools for Photoshop will get you out of the office sooner.
Who is MikeD?
I own a photography business called Photos for Life, specializing in weddings. Most of the tools you see here were created by me to solve problems I ran into in the course of running my own photography business, and I thought they could help you, too. Judging by the fan mail, I think I was right!
You can keep up with all things MikeD by following me on Twitter.
My Facebook Page is a good spot to see what's new too!
All of my video tutorials can be viewed on my YouTube channel, too.
Photographic workflow can be a bear. There's no need to fear the monster however...my time-saving photoshop scripts will save you a lot more than 108 minutes!

Mice review 3: Free Wheelin’
January 28th, 2010Mice Review 2: Trackball
January 26th, 2010I’ve had a trackball even longer than I’ve had a tablet. My first one was a gigantic thing with a ball the size of a billiard ball (in fact I used an 8-ball as the main ball in it for years). They actually still sell it too 
I’ve had a one in one form or another since then, as I love them for FPS gaming…the old version of the marble was such that you could fling the marble really fast…too fast for the driver to handle. So it would interpret a huge fling forward as a quick back step, then a run forward…or a step left, then quick right. Killer Now I just use it for aiming. Awesome in Bioshock. But I digress.
More after the jump.

Mice Review 1: Ordinary People
January 23rd, 2010The first two mice on the block are the most boring: the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer and the Logitech generic mouse I got as a kit with a wireless keyboard. Both are pretty basic mice, and so I’ll deal with them together in the same post.

Mice Review
January 20th, 2010I’m a bit of a workflow junkie. I spend a lot of time exploring the options each image presents, and I don’t like the tools to get in the way.
This is why I wrote AutoLoader and the other productivity tools on this site: too much time was being wasted doing things better left to computers. Luckily, when I run into such situations, I can just write my own solution.
But I also don’t like to change the workflow methods I have in place mid-season…there’s just too much going on during the busy shooting season to be messing around with new stuff. So I save it for this time of year.
Keep reading for a taste of things to come.
