   Looking for a Backup solution which don’t pull out your wallet? Here it is PureSync although there are other application which does the same job for free as this one but this one really caught my attention.This application does all the job which is expected from a backup program such as two way synchronization and one way backup .

      PureSync synchronizes content between folders on different drives, creates backup copies of selected folders and helps you extract photos from your digital camera and other devices you can connect to the computer. You can create multiple syncing tasks, each of them with its own name and configuration options, and set them to work according to a schedule or only when you manually start them.

    PureSync is very easy to use: a step-by-step wizard guides you through the whole process of creating each syncing task. The program’s interface displays a summary of all the actions applied to files and folders, using a color code to distinguish different types of synchronization.

      PureSync supports also incremental backup copies – that is, copies only those files that have changed – and can be seamlessly integrated with Windows Explorer.

If you want to know what is PSD and how to preview PSD file? then read this..

      PSD is Photoshop’s native file format, sometimes it’s called PDD. PSD or PDD is a widely accepted file format. PSD supports all available image modes (Bitmap, Grayscale, Duotone, Indexed Color, RGB, CMYK, Lab, and Multichannel).

   The PSD format is extremely useful as it can support duotones, clipping paths and channels. Moreover, PSD offers a unique feature – it supports layers while every other format must be flattened on export. Any program that supports PSDs directly can then leverage this layer information. Saving as layered images is quite handy as it allows to edit different parts of an image at a later date far easier.

                                              Before

   To see and edit PSD file you need Adobe Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop is surely expensive and not everyone has a copy installed onto there system. So, if you have received any PSD file then these are associated with Adobe Photoshop program. You will have a hard time editing any of the psd file without Adobe program.

                                                            After

       Anyway if you want to Preview PSD file then here is a nice little addon I found on net which allows you to have a glimpse of the PSD file in thumbnail view. PSD file viewer not only opens PSD file but also EPS file from your windows explorer (PS+Ai Thumbs).

     Today, I’m going to share with you another promotional offer this time it is of Ashampoo Core Tuner which cost $20 for Free. Below is some description about Core tuner after that I show you the way, how to get it..So here i go.. 

       Nowadays, all computers have at least two processors, that are generally named "cornes". Some even have four. Unfortunately, Windows often doesn’t manage your multiple cores very well, so you’re not actually getting the full multi-processor power you paid for.

     Ashampoo Core Tuner enables you to use the full power of all your cores. For instant results you just need to select Auto-Optimize to optimize all the programs you are running or Boost to give more power to a single program.

   You can also fine-tune individual processes, display a live view of the current workloads of all your processor cores and enhance the overall performance of your system with additional tools.

      If you want to really max out your machine’s performance you can manually fine-tune the core workload settings for every program you use.

    You can set the "priority" in five levels to adjust the amount of processor power each program gets. You can also specify how many processor cores each program gets to use. This can deliver particularly good results with modern graphics and video editing programs and other applications that make full use of multiple processors.
