Essential Apple Podcast 63: Skylum’s the Limit with Kevin La Rue

Recorded 12th November 2017 This week we are joined by Kevin La Rue of Macphun - now renamed Skylum Software, to talk about Luminar, Macphun photo software,the change to Skylum Software, Dark Castle, Silicon Beach and and as usual any other stuff that cropped up in the world of Apple and tech over the last week or so. It's quite a long show as Kevin was keen to share with us, so get a brew, settle down and prepare to hear all about things he's been involved with all the way back to the dawn of the Mac! On this week's show: We redid the website. I went through finding and fixing the problems caused by moving the hosting from SquareSpace to WordPress - mostly fixing missing images or broken audio players. I am back to show 25 so there are still some to work through. Also we gave the site a make over with a nicer theme than the basic one we implemented. We haven't 100% done yet but the new theme looks so much better than the previous one.
