Digital comics company Graphicly is looking to change the publishing game.

Graphicly
First came a great digital comic book experience. Then a self-contained comic book community was empowered with the ability to read and discuss together. Followed by the expansion of the app onto just about every platform imaginable.

All the time the Graphicly team has been close to the apps community of users, learning, testing and learning some more. Their business development should be applauded too. Some how hooking up with the major comic book publishers early on, at a time when these old school gate keepers still resisted any move towards digital publishing was undoubtedly crucial. Not only for Graphicly’s survival and potential success, but also playing a part in pushing the whole industry forward.Graphicly has worked closely with numerous indie publishers, experimenting with features, exclusive content and pricing (Did I mention this is a startup with paying customers!?!), in a bid to provide value for customers and at the same time provide opportunities for creators and publishers to reach as many fans as possible.

Every thing the team has learned during this time has led up to yesterdays announcement that they will be opening up a self-publishing platform.Micah Baldwin, Graphicly founder and CEO said “By opening up our proven digital distribution platform, we now provide these services, while giving authors and publishers full control of their content and revenue streams and a deep understanding of how readers are engaging with their content. We believe our customer’s books should be available in every marketplace imaginable, with the knowledge and support to properly market and promote them.”

Interestingly where as Apple’s iBook Author offering is free to publish with but only distributes on Apple’s own platform and gives up much of the creator’s rights to Apple, Graphicaly will launch with a flat fee model, offer distribution to iOS, Android, Web and Facebook. The creator sets the retail price, pays no commission and retains full rights to their creative work.

Throw in real-time analytics to help the self-publisher understand how readers are engaging with their content and Graphicly sounds pretty damn awesome, right?

Congrats to +Micah Baldwin and the awesome team at +Graphicly, I certainly look forward to making the most of this new service as a consumer of the creative works it will inspire.

What is CHDK?

CHDK is a firmware enhancement that operates on a number of Canon Cameras. CHDK gets loaded into your camera’s memory upon bootup (either manually or automatically). It provides additional functionality beyond that currently provided by the native camera firmware.

CHDK is not a permanent firmware upgrade: you decide how it is loaded (manually or automatically) and you can always easily remove it.

Please see the FAQ, CHDK for Dummies, Firmware Usage page and the One Page Ultra-Quick Users Guide, as well as other pages on this wiki, for more specifics on supported cameras, details of features, scripting, downloading, etc.

Quick answers to 4 key questions about CHDK

1. What is CHDK?

CHDK is not just one thing! The term CHDK refers to free software – currently available for many (but not all) Canon PowerShot compact digital cameras – that you can load onto your camera’s memory card to give your camera greatly enhanced capabilities.

2. Is CHDK safe to use?

Probably. See the following FAQ entries for more information
  • FAQ#Q. Does using the CHDK program void your warranty?
  • FAQ#Q. Can CHDK damage your camera ?

3. What else should I know?

Developers around the world are continuing to add new features to CHDK. Because the idea of using the camera’s microprocessor is so flexible, various developers have made different versions of CHDK, and new features continue to be developed - for example, one version of CHDK has features assist in taking stereo photographs, and even allows two cameras to be synchronized to take pictures at the same time (with an accuracy of better than 0.1 milliseconds, providing they are the same camera model).

4. How do I get started with CHDK?

See below, and read the FAQ, CHDK for Dummies and the Firmware Usage page !!!
