StoryBoard Artist 4 review
Storyboard Artist is aimed at creatives who wants to map out motion media from short animations to feature films. It has lots to offer but suffers from a messy interface.

Magic Bullet Colorista review
Colorista is a colour-correcting and colour-matching plug-in for digital video work, designed for use with Red Giant's film-look plug-ins - but with a wider appeal.

In first inspection, Softimage|XSI 6.0 doesn’t look like much of an update. Once you get stuck into the new features though, you’ll find a wealth of new tools to get your teeth into.

xw6400 review
Our review unit of HP’s first workstation to offer quad-core chips is modestly specced and priced – and it’s a lot smaller that other systems we've seen.
