Industrial Color has just released a new version of GLOBALedit App for iPad, now available on the iTunes store.

What's New in Version 1.0.9

* Added support for GLOBALedit version 4
* Fixed bugs with error messages when changing email and password
* Fixed iOS 5 compatibility issues

The GLOBALedit App for iPad is a simple and elegant application that enables GLOBALedit users to review, approve, and present images and videos. Creative production teams can manage galleries, comments, and reports using GLOBALedit’s comprehensive tools and share approved content with partners and customers.

Users will need to update their app before the launch of GLOBALedit version 4, coming soon. Download the newest version from iTunes.

To learn more about what GLOBALedit and the GLOBALedit App for iPad can do for your talent and creative approval workflow, contact us at info@globaledit.com.

When shooting your images through CaptureOne, you can seamlessly integrate your workflow with GLOBALedit to preserve your ratings and metadata and share with your creative production team.

Use CaptureOne to apply Star ratings and metadata when shooting on set. 

When setting up your CaptureOne recipe, click "Advanced" and make sure to check the "Include Ratings and Color Tags" box. This will ensure your ratings and metadata will be included in the outputted JPGs. 

When you upload these JPGs to GLOBALedit, the Star ratings will be reflected in the Library, and you can view and further edit your metadata in the Metadata Editor.

Per standard digital capture workflows, you can also use the plus (+) sign to indicate Star ratings. Any file that has 1 to 5 plus signs at the beginning of the filename to indicate an on-set select will populate the corresponding Star rating in GLOBALedit.

Learn more about the new CaptureOne Pro 6 and other industry-standard photography tools from PhaseOne.

Our desks are starting to get crowded! Thanks to AMC for bringing over their new The Walking Dead toys yesterday for our nerdy pleasure. Made by McFarlane Toys and just released at the end of last year, toys Rick Grimes and Darryl Dixon face off against their perpetually undead foes Zombie Biter and Zombie Walker. You can even see Zombie Walker in action below:

AMC's The Walking Dead returns this Sunday February 12 at 9/8c. We'll definitely be on the edge of our seats for this one.

This week we received our Surface table which we are all really excited about. After the "unboxing ceremony", everyone had a lot of fun getting around the table and tossing around digital assets in our GLOBALedit App for Surface. Check out our video below of the arrival of the Surface. Still has that new Surface table smell!

When a Lightbox is created, an expiration date can be set so that after that date, the recipients of that Lightbox will no longer have access. A frequently asked question is, "How do I extend a Lightbox after it has expired?". 

Only the user that originally created the Lightbox can extend expiration dates. Log in to your GLOBALedit account and go to Lightboxes. Hover over the Lightbox you wish to extend and click the grey drop-down arrow that appears and select view Lightbox users. This will bring up a list of Lightbox users and information about the Lightbox. Find the user(s) you wish to extend the Lightbox for and click Edit under the Permissions column. Click in the blank field under Lightbox Options to set a new expiration date and click Ok.

Industrial Color proudly debuted our GLOBALedit App for Surface at the NRF Convention last week. With the experience enabled by the new Microsoft Surface, you can collaborate in real-time with GLOBALedit on the first digital light table designed for creative production teams. The app leverages the 360-degree user interface and multi-touch capabilities of the Surface platform to bring photo editing, image markups, layout creation, and creative review sessions to life.

Our talented sister company Industrial Color Motion shot, edited, and produced this amazing video showcasing the GLOBALedit App for Surface, featuring exclusive clips of the app in action and commentary from Industrial Color and development partner Sevensteps, a Microsoft Surface Premier Partner.

Contact GLOBALedit to learn more about the GLOBALedit App for Surface and what it can do for your creative production team.

The Microsoft Product Team at the 2012 National Retail Federation Expo shot this video of the GLOBALedit App for Surface. 

The new Microsoft Surface - Samsung SUR40 features a 40-inch HD 1080p screen that can accommodate up to fifty points of contact for photo and video production teams to be able to sit around the Surface table to create and collaborate on content. Stay tuned for a full update coming soon, and in the meantime check out other Surface applications from the NRF.

A big congratulations to HBO and Showtime who each had Golden Globe winners for television series dramas. Peter Dinklage took home a Golden Globe for "Best performance by an actor in a supporting role in a series, mini-series or motion picture made for television" for the hit HBO show, Game of Thrones. Claire Danes took home a Golden Globe for "Best performance by an actress in a television series - Drama" for Showtime's new show, Homeland, which also won "Best television series - Drama".

A big thank you to HBO for the really cool gifts! We especially enjoyed visiting their prohibition-era speakeasy HBO Shop that was staffed with 1920's style bouncers. Check out the HBO Shop @ 1100 Avenue of the Americas (42nd and 6th Ave) NYC.

Showtime's hit shows Shameless and Californication premiere new seasons this Sunday along with the series premiere of House of Lies. Showtime used GLOBALedit for gallery images, unit coverage, and talent approvals.

Shameless returns again for their second season! It's summertime and the Gallaghers of Chicago are cooking up fresh ways to bring home the bacon. Their ventures may not be moral — or even legal — but they certainly are outrageous. 

Our sister company, Impact Digital produced the retouching artwork for Shameless. 

The new series premiere of House of Lies is a story about how Marty Kaan and his crack team of MBA-toting management consultants are playing America's 1 percent for everything they've got. Starring Academy Award® Nominee Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell, nothing is sacred in House of Lies, a hilarious, irreverent send-up of corporate America today.

Industrial Color provided capture services for all of the publicity images for House of Lies.

Californication is returning this Sunday for its fifth season! Hank Moody, having barely escaped jail time at the end of Season 4, is enjoying his freedom in New York City, away from the madness of L.A. But a bad break-up and a call from his old pal Charlie about a job send him back to the left coast. Can Hank go home again and keep his sanity in tact? 

Contact us for more information on how to use GLOBALedit to manage your gallery and unit image production, and check out our GLOBALedit App for iPad, perfect for talent approvals on the go.

Industrial Color will be attending National Retail Federation (NRF) 101st Annual Convention & EXPO on January 15th to 18th, 2012.

We will be joining Microsoft along with our Surface development partner SevenSteps to preview the industry's first digital table, which will work in real time with GLOBALedit.

The new Microsoft Surface multi-touch system, the Samsung SUR40, features a 40-inch HD 1080p screen and relies on PixelSense, which uses the pixels of the screen itself to act as cameras and register both human and object input.

The new Surface holds huge potential in the retail world as well as other communication and information based industries. We're excited to be involved with this new technology and believe it will be a revolutionary and innovative tool for photo and video production teams to create and collaborate on content.

Interested? Preview the Microsoft Surface 2 below.

The NRF Convention will be taking place January 15 - 18, 2012 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. Visit the NRF site for more information on attending the convention for exclusive sneak peeks and demos on what's ahead for GLOBALedit. Stay tuned for official announcements soon!

A big thank you to AMC for the awesome Star Wars chocolate! You know us so well!

It's been amazing to get a firsthand view from our offices of the new World Trade Center slowly climbing its way up the skyline. We just found that they've been tweeting pictures of the breathtaking views from more than 80 stories high. You can even see our office from one of the photos!

Check out @WTCProgress, the official Twitter account for the World Trade Center, for more pictures and updates on the progress. 

On Wednesday we went to check out the new Lytro Light Field Cameras on Display at the 7th Annual WIRED Store in Times Square NYC. It was really great to get a hands on demo of the new camera and see how it works. It allows you to take a picture and to then focus and re-focus after the fact. You can then share your images online which allows anyone to interact and select new focuses in your images. You can see more and try it out for yourself here. Check out our photos from the event below!

The three Lytro camera models will be featured along with more than 200 other hot new products. Visit the store between noon and 7pm Wednesdays through Sundays between Friday, Nov. 18 and Saturday, Dec. 24 to request a Lytro camera demo with one of the WIRED Store employee “Ambassadors.”

Our director of software Albert poses with the equally illustrious Conan O'Brien, portrayed here in LEGO form at the Turner Broadcasting offices. Looking good guys!

Watch "Conan" weeknights at 11/10c, only on TBS, a part of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
