Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Do you have your projects completed?

Don't panic, there is still time to pull something together. If you have a child with a Valentine's Day party tomorrow there's still time to make a custom photo card. Need something out of the ordinary for a Valentine's Day themed gallery show? Consider the carried away by balloons illusion. Perhaps you need a gift for a special someone? Consider using a program like Portrait Professional to give a "Hollywood makeover" and then apply the Orton Effect for a final touch.

Kodak announced yesterday that they are phasing out their digital cameras during the first half of 2012. Just last month Kodak filed for bankruptcy protection.

Kodak does intend to pursue licensing options for their digital cameras but their focus going further will be on more profitable segments of their business including:

• Retail-based photo kiosks and digital dry lab systems
• Consumer inkjet printers
• Kodak apps for Facebook
• Kodak Gallery (www.kodakgallery.com)
• The Kodak camera accessories and batteries businesses
• The traditional film capture and photographic paper business

Still looking for a great Valentine's Day present? It's pushing the timeline but if you hurry you might still be able to get a great canvas print or other specialty photo print made. From traditional stretch fabric canvas to canvas texture rigid boards to even wooden panel photo boards, these types of prints require no framing and look fabulous when hung.
