Release Issued by Douglas Software:

Leading photographic tool that calculates optical equations now available for Mac users

Hampshire, United Kingdom. (28th April 2008) - Douglas Software announces today the release of version 1.0.0 of Camera Module for the Mac. This software, previously only available to PC users, provides a photographer with instant assistance in solving many day-to-day optical equations such as angle of view for selected lens and film format combination, depth of field, including near focus, far focus, total depth of field and hyperfocal distance as well as image width and height.

The Camera module covers 37 digital formats including 9 digital backs and 12 conventional film formats. With Camera Module for the Mac, both amateur and professional photographers will be able to make more effective use of their photographic equipment while leaving the complexity of optical calculations and formula in the background.

With the Camera Module for the Mac, calculating optical equations is refreshingly simply and the user need only apply a few simple clicks. For example, to determine the depth of the field with a 35mm camera and a 100mm lens at a distance of 2 metres and a resolution of 5 lines per mm at an aperture of f8, the user just has to specify the 35mm film format and select a resolution of 5 lines per mm. Then choose a focal length of 100mm, an aperture of f8 and the Manual option for Distance and enter 2. The programme will immediately respond with a calculated figure.

Camera Module for the Mac 1.0.0 runs under Mac OS X 10.2 or later and costs $75 (USD). Registered customers are entitled to unlimited functionality and free technical support.
