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!

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.

A big thank you to Food Network for the shirts, hoodies, kitchen towels, oven mitts and cook books!

Last week we stopped by the Gizmodo Gallery opening at White Box here in NYC to check out everything from the 82-inch LCD touch screen, to the high speed automatic pancake-making machine, to a machine that will paint little anime cartoons on your nails. On display was a fantastic collection of iconic gadgets of the past as well as the latest and most innovative in technology including a variety of smartphones, tablets, and computers. Naturally, we had a great time looking around and playing with all the fun gizmos. Check out some of our photos from the gallery below.
