    Aloha

    You?ve probably noticed some things going on at PSG. There?s been a significant decline in exchanges?postings?and most significantly, Mark the Keeper has turned the operation over to the very diligent, capable stewardship of Neo (AKA Reg), who has built a very nice resource at. Neo intends to...

    3D Toy Story

    My wife frequently goes trivet hunting at the Salvation Army for interesting things to photograph, which I occassionally use as retouching examples in books. This china doll below was a stumper--it'd lost its hair. My solution was to use dynamic hair in Poser on a distorted head that I colored...

    The March Free For All

    The soothsayer's warning to Julius Caesar, "Beware the Ides of March," has forever imbued that date with a sense of foreboding. But in Roman times the expression "Ides of March" did not necessarily evoke a dark mood?it was simply the standard way of saying "March 15." Surely such a fanciful...

    The Nozzle Thread

    After you?ve exhausted the creative possibilities of Painter?s Image Hose Nozzles presets, it?s time to build your own. Yes, you can create a nozzle file in Painter, but because Painter?s masking tools and resizing features aren?t as intuitive as Photoshop?s, I recommend using Photoshop. To...

    Illustrator PS and Illustrator paths

    One of the nice things about Illustrator is that it and Photoshop use a private clipboard (AI CB), so you can copy and paste paths from Illustrator to PS. If you want to get paths into PS from Xara Xtreme, you need Illustrator as the intermediary?export as AI from Xara, then load the saved file...

    After Effects Adobe After Effects and modeling animations

    Adobe After Effects, version 7 just came out, is an expensive but very valuable addition to your favorite modeler/renderer. It?s similar to Photoshop with respect to effects, but knowing Photoshop won?t immediately catapult you to proficiency with AE, mostly because you?re editing with the...

    3D trueSpace 3, free

    If any of you don't have a modeler/renderer yet, trueSpace legacy version 3 is totally free to download (you'll probably get junkmail solicitations for registering, tho'): http://www.caligari.com/products/truespace/ts3/default.asp Don't be put off by the example art at their site Caligari has...

    Application Convergence expands!

    Hi, folks! To better serve the graphics community, Mark and I concluded that it would be good to expand and rearrange the current Application Convergence offerings. We now have 3 new forums: ?Photoshop and Xara (and Illustrator): http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/index.php?board=32.0...

    Partially off-topic and political

    While the current administration is under scrutiny for spying on private citizens and accepting bribes, they've now turned their sights on Google. I'm not a big Google fan because their software such as Desktop is invasive (similarly, your iTunes are monitored, shades of Sony), but without...

    Camera Tidbytes

    Tangentially, recent news is going to impact on Photoshop users. ? Nikon announced that they're ceasing production of film cameras, except for one high-end one. Large format cameras are going to go away, and this leaves me wonderering how the heck a photographer is going to be able to adjust...

    The January Free For All

    I thought a good way to start the new year would be to freshen up your logo. This is not strictly speaking a Free?For?All because there will be no judging, no contest. I'd like to see how everyone signs their work. Tips: ? A good logo works in black and white (for business cards and stuff) as...

    Adobe releases their Aperture-killer: Lightroom

    Adobe Lightroom is in beta and can be downloaded at http://labs.macromedia.com/technologies/lightroom/ Evidently, Adobe considers Apple Aperture to be a threat--Lightroom was deveoped for the Mac first, with a Windows beta forthcoming. My take on both Aperture and Lightroom is that both...

    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...

    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)

    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...

    Apple Aperature Software

    I see Apple has unveiled Aperture today. It's advertised as an image editor for professional photographers, with a SMRP of $500. You can pre-order it, which suggests it's not been released yet. I'm supposing it's Macintosh-only, and should be a welcome upgrade from iPhoto. The screen caps show...

    The Third Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

    We had a lot of fun the past two years designing Jack-o-Lantern faces using Xara, Photoshop, and even some modeling apps to design that perrenial favorite, so here it is again. Use the photo below, or your own, and virtually carve away (and save the seeds for roasting). To get started, there's...

    The October Free For All

    This month's challenge is a makeover. Photoshop's splash screen, to be exact. It's pathetic and probably designed by a committee. What's this blue feather stuff, anyways? I understand the "signature" is supposed to co-ordinate with sister products in a nature theme--Illustrator has a flower...

    Summer in the SETI

    I was a little taken aback that SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) uses private sector PC distributed processing to cull the data taken from radio telescopes. You can "loan" your computer's free cycles at http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/. But what this means is that if we do...
