Kodak P880 AEL/AFL
The more one uses the Kodak P880 the more there is to be surprised about in the positive sense. Professional and semi-professional quality cameras have auto focus and auto exposure built-in, but also allow you to set these manually. The Kodak P880 has these features, and has the ability to mix things.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 One-on-One
O’Reilly is busy publishing a complete series on creative applications such as Photoshop CS2, and Deke McClelland’s One-on-One tutorial is one of the stars in the series. The book comes with Total Training Video hosted by Deke McClelland himself. The DVD contains over two hours of lessons and companion material.
The Art of Photoshop
Is it a coffee table book or a tutorial? Both perhaps? Indeed, both. Daniel Giordan is a renowned Photoshop artist. He has written, or rather created, a book which can be used as a coffee table book --the first chapters contain a beautiful sample of his art. But it is a tutorial and reference book as well, teaching you how to achieve some of the results in his art pieces.
Photoshop LAB Color
Dan Margulis wrote a book on Photoshop LAB colour and the Canyon conundrum. Margulis calls LAB the most powerful colour space and explains why you should use it to enhance and correct photographs, and not only those that have a canyon as their subject.
Apple Aperture; who it competes with
Apple Aperture will be competing directly --albeit a subset only-- with the capabilities and features of Photoshop CS2. No doubt about that, and regardless of what Adobe may have to say. But Aperture competes with other applications as well. For example, with Digital Asset Management software.
Kodak P880 Prosumer Camera
Kodak has stopped making professional cameras. They’ve switched. To making prosumer cameras. Prosumer as in professional slash consumer. The professional part of this camera lies in its capabilities with respect to photographing modes it supports and its RAW capability. The consumer part undoubtedly includes its fixed zoom lens.
Fixer Bundle Review
FocusFixer, TrueBlur, NoiseFixer and ShadowFixer are all Photoshop plug-ins by FixerLabs, the British developer of SizeFixer XL. Two of these plug-ins take the same approach as SizeFixer: they depend on your camera for correcting the image.
Alien Skin: Eye Candy 5 Photoshop Filters
Eye Candy Nature and Textures are two Photoshop plug-ins that have been upgraded to version 5, just like Impact. They’re very nice plug-ins with which you can achieve great-looking results quickly and easily.
Eye Candy Impact Review
Alien Skin‘s Eye Candy 5 Impact is a Photoshop filter set that allows you to create a large number of interesting effects and art.
Vertus Fluid Mask Review
Masking in Photoshop should be easy: there’s the Magic Wand, the Magnetic selection tool, and the Extract filter. And still, masking can be quite a chore. Mask Pro, previously by Extensis, and now in Genuine Fractals’ hands, can make the job easier. But British Vertus‘ Fluid Mask makes it both easier and faster.
