FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS!!!!!

For the next two weeks you can get online, buy ActionRunner 1.0 Suite or ActionRunner 1.0 only and if after READING the User Guide and actually editing a wedding or a large number of images you are not fully satisfied I'll refund your entire purchase price! (But you have to delete it from your harddrive! And you can't steal the idea etc. It's between you, the Law and God at that point!)

Here is what Jeff LaPlante has to say about ActionRunner 1.0

"Sure, you can batch process images in Photoshop/Bridge but you have to do them all one action set at a time. ActionRunner gives you a electric carving knife to cut up the bird vs. using your old dull paring knife. Simply, you can power through 1100 images in an evening unattended and end up with 10 variations on the same images for you to choose from in the morning while you're drinking your latte. THAT is the POWER of ActionRunner. Don't try to bill it as something new and great for manipulating your images. Bill it as a time saving device that saves you from editing the files yourself or paying an assistant to do it."

For real, you could pay a part time employee $10 and hour to help edit images and in two weeks time you'd pay your employee more than the $350 for ActionRunner Suite.

I promise you that if you take the time to learn this tool, use it to it's fullest and customize it to your likings you'll be SOOOOO glad you did. I LOVE this tool!

we are sooooooo close.

hang in there to all of you who have been writing and asking when it will be ready!

for real, we should be live in the next 24-36 hours or so. i'm at the mercy of my web guys but it's sooooooo close. for real, this is the best tool i can imagine. i just edited a family session today in no time using it! it's incredible.

lastly, many of you have wondered can i use my own actions with ActionRunner??? YES! That's the best part is that you can use your own actions, others actions, create actions, add actions etc. all you have to do is add them in. Nobody, I mean nobody is beyond this tool. you might be set in your style and ways or you might be just starting out, ActionRunner is designed to make your life easier and your images better!

God bless.

I just did a sr. portrait last night of this really great guy named Josh.

I took about 170 of my favorite images, put each of the 170 images into 10 different action folders, clicked ActionRunner and went to bed. I woke up to 1700 different images. I put this little slideshow together with Showit Web and some of my favorite pix from the day. You'd never guess these were captured while it was drizzling out!

Enjoy!

Davis Tools ActionRunner is about to go live!

Many of you have been asking "When????" Well we are soooo close. The user guide will be perfected and we should be live in the next 24 hours (or 36 or so, it's really up to the web guys to finalize it all.)

The user guide is really simple but we want it to be very thorough so that technical support is almost never necessary. The QuickStart guide is like 5 lines long, but the detailed deal and instructions on how to fully customize it are what we want to perfect so that even if your not a Photoshop person etc. you can use it to it's fullest ability! (This thing is sooo unbelieveably easy to use but we want it to be completely dummy proof before we release it.)

Be sure to check out www.davistools.com in the next day or so.

Also, please leave a comment. I'd love to track how far the grapevine travels in the early stages of ActionRunner.

Jen and Mike,

What a joy and pleasure it was to shoot your wedding!

We had a really great time and I hope you guys really enjoy your wedding pix for years to come!

Remember when you start working on that nephew that your brother spoke about we'll be here for you!

Talk soon, God bless.

Davis Tools ActionRunner 1.0 is up and running! It's still a beta version of it and we are working out any of the quarks but it's amazing.

Hopefully at the end of next week it will be completely available for purchase and ready to run.

For real, I edited a wedding yesterday that started out with 3000+ images, narrowed them down to the top 1000 images and edited them all in less than 3.5 hours time in front of the computer. It's so amazing!

If you want to know more or be notified of when it's ready go to www.davistools.com and sign up for the mailing list.

This is a fully automated deal, it's not like other workflows.

I'm working like crazy to finalize this. Testimonies soon to come from the beta version folks.
