    Movie Reviews

    Narnia: Two Paws Up :righton: :righton: I went into the theater yesterday expecting The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe to be a travesty. After all, it had the Disney Kiss of Death on it. But to say I was pleasantly surprised would be like saying Bill Gates has a few...

    The Free (or really cheap) App Thread

    nxView-four stars Okay, most digital cameras save to jpeg, which means if? you alter the file in any way, including rotating, you further degrade the image if you save to jpeg. nxView is freeware, Windows, Mac, Pocket PC, and Linux, and can rotate a jpeg losslessly. And it's a very fast...

    Nerdopoly: The Game

    I don't have the rules--or even the object of the game--written yet, but I could sure use help designing the board and the pieces. Do not pass M.I.T., do not collect dust, Gare

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    Welles-- I have a question, Welles-- Because I document programs for a living, I need screen caps all the time. What do you and most everyone else use screen caps for?

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    Plug-ins folder Hi, p?tr??k-- I use CorelDraw for a mercifully few tasks, such as creating symmetrigons and for creating typefaces--but I usually use FontLab on the font afterwards to fine-tune characters and convert to OpenType which both Win and Mac users can access. Deep in the recesses of...

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    Re: Stupid application tricks Hi, p?tr??k-- That's nice to be able to save to png no less, right to the desktop. For Macintosh screen caps, I use a Kensington programmable four-button mouse and an applet so I can right-click and save to file. An additional stupid trick for screen captures...

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    Screen caps Good one, p?tr??k-- I'd like to add to that, that you can do ScreenCapping to Xara, too (and several other graphics apps), and can edit the cap. The result if you're running a 1024 by 768 monitor resolution is a 2.3MB file. You hit PrintScreen again to update it, and to clear the...

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    Free Transform Hi ronmatt-- I Googled Babylon and came up with a dictionary software and maps; right? Anyhow, I think your Babylon has global hotkeys that are messing with Photoshop's shortcuts, if Ctrl+T (Mac Cmd+T) is loading an app--would you try changing Babylon's hotkeys, if that's...

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    Good one, Welles--- You're up again early, Welles, and as sharp as ever--how many cups? 8} To add to your shortcut, you can change opacity of Layers in PS by your number pad; type 0 and you got 100%, 6=60%, typing 43=43% and so on. My Best, Gare...

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    Painting in Xara Usually, you draw paths in Xara, and afterwards you apply a pressure profile. But you can paint strokes from the get-go by choosing a line width, color, and profile before you draw or select anything. You don't get a nag box like you do when pre-setting object color or font...

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    Warping a la KPT without KPT The Warp Free Transform (Win: Ctrl+T, then right-click; Mac: Cmd+T, then Ctrl+click) can be used to create a more elegant, refreshing page curl effect. And if you drag the mash severley enough, you can see the back of the page. I added a little shading to this...

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    I've discovered several dumb, purposeless tricks you can easily perform in Photoshop and other graphics apps.If you can find a design purpose for any of them, then you're the wiser for it \:/ First, you can change the image window background color in PS by dragging the window out until you see...

    A Halloween Post Mortem We live in a fairly secluded suburb, so I went into this gambit not expecting a lot. This year?s yield of Trick or Treaters was a little below average in quantity?we got about 20, more than in previous years after the ?Security Scares? in past decades (I get the feeling...

    The Third Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

    A Star Wars Halloween? This was actually published in Forbes Magazine online last week. I retouched the layout a little, as Forbes don't know how to build a Web page. And, um, Mr.Ewalt, a climax is a synonym for finish: Trick or Oxymorons? Where's Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, though? Han...
