Fotoshop by Adobé http://mitchmckenna.com/post/10667/fotoshop-by-adobe

Up watching television on a sleepless night, Jesse Rosten came across an infomercial which inspired the idea for his spoof beauty product, Fotoshop by Adobé. Poking fun at beauty ads with an introduction citing the product as the next revolution in beauty.

This commercial isn't real, neither are society's standards of beauty.

Adobe CS5 will Blow Your Mind http://mitchmckenna.com/post/6898/content-aware-fill-sneak-peek

Check out this video of just one of the new Photoshop’s capabilities - Content-Aware Fill Sneak Peek. You will be blown away. This makes light work of what previous would have taken hours, maybe even days of work.

If you’re low on time, skip through to 2.50. One of the biggest requests for Photoshop is to make adding, removing, moving or repairing items faster and more seamless. From retouching to completely reimagining an image, here's an early glimpse of what could happen in the future when you press the delete key.

Sneak peek of new Adobe Photoshop CS5 technologies http://mitchmckenna.com/post/5800/sneak-peek-of-new-adobe-photoshop-cs5-technologies-wwwcs5org

The video shows a selection of features that are being developed by Photoshop Labs, including Painter-style brushes, a new warp tool and more. Do you see the 3D elements that have been thrown in? The wire frame, the joints (the kinematics!), the simulation of a paint brush's tip... it's really quite crazy.

At long last, GIMP v2.8 to finally implement single-window interface http://mitchmckenna.com/post/4318/mitchell-mckenna-at-long-last-gimp-v28-to-finally-implement-single-window-interface

"While it's always been a powerful and capable alternative to big commercial apps like Photoshop, GIMP's multiple floating window interface has been hard for some users to adapt to. Good news to those of you who love the program but just couldn't adapt to the UI: version 2.8 will feature a selectable single window mode."

35 Examples Of Masterful Lighting Effects In Web Design http://mitchmckenna.com/post/2605/35-examples-of-masterful-lighting-effects-in-web-design

"Using a light source the right way can add dimension and beauty to a website design. Strong light sources create a stark contrast between light areas and shadows in a design, making the elements look more realistic and dimensional and less flat. Some websites opt instead for a dim light source to create a soft glow around particular areas of the website, to attract the eye more subtly."
