“Layer Tennis always brings out the creative community’s most innovative and groundbreaking work in the spirit of friendly competition,” said Jim Coudal, president of Coudal Partners. “This year we’ve expanded the playing field to include participants from around the globe and also added a qualifying category for our student competitors.”

“Adobe is excited to be a sponsor of the 2009 Layer Tennis design tournament and we can’t wait to see what designers do with our Creative Suite tools this time around,” said Mala Sharma, senior director, product marketing for Creative Solutions at Adobe. “Whatever the creative idea, the workflow improvements in Creative Suite 4 make it easy to move projects from design to development to completion faster than ever before.”

Each match consists of 10 volleys, each lasting 15 minutes. Spectators have the opportunity to watch and post commentary, and are encouraged to vote for a winner after each match on the 2009 Layer Tennis design tournament Web site. Every volley can be bookmarked and live updates for all matches will be available as RSS and Twitter feeds. Spectators will be able to download files from each match, mash them up and post links to their creations.

Photographic Multishot Techniques: High Dynamic Range, Super-Resolution, Extended Depth of Field, Stitching - New Book
January, 27, 2009

Photographic Multishot Techniques: High Dynamic Range, Super-Resolution, Extended Depth of Field, Stitching - New BookPhotographers are just beginning to realize the potential of high dynamic range imaging (HDRI). Now, the newest techniques based on a bracketed series of exposures make it possible to go beyond HDRI: photographers can increase resolution for ultra-sharp, detailed images, and they can extend the depth of field in a way that was never before possible.

Photographic Multishot Techniques provides a thorough introduction and is a hands-on guide to these various techniques. Using a series of example images, the authors explain and illustrate the use of each technique. Included are lessons on HDRI, super-resolution, focus stacking, and stitching images. Moreover, the reader will learn how to effectively combine these various techniques to create amazing images.

Throughout Photographic Multishot Techniques, the authors use tools such as Photoshop, PhotoAcute, Photomatix Pro, FDRTools, CombineZM, DOP Detail Extractor, and Helicon Focus to illustrate the workflow with detailed, step-by-step instructions. Most of these tools offer free trial versions that are available for download at www.rockynook.com.

Adobe Releases Photoshop Lightroom 2.3 And Camera Raw 5.3
January, 24, 2009

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Released - Free Trial Download Also AvailableAdobe has released Photoshop Lightroom 2.3 and Photoshop Camera Raw 5.3 Release Candidates, both available immediately for download from Adobe Labs.

The ‘release candidate’ label indicates that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all customers. The Lightroom and Camera Raw teams would like the community to help verify the quality of this update through normal usage as this will ensure that the application is tested on a wide variety of hardware and software configurations not available internally at Adobe.

Both release candidates provide additional raw file support for the Nikon D3X and Olympus E-30 cameras. In addition, the Lightroom 2.3 Release Candidate provides a solution to a memory leak that affected some customers of the Lightroom 2.2 release.

Adobe is also pleased to announce the availability of Lightroom in eight new languages, including Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Korean, Chinese (simplified) and Chinese (traditional). The Lightroom 2.3 Release Candidate available on Adobe Labs includes these additional languages, and Adobe greatly appreciates any feedback the community can provide the Lightroom team. Feedback can be provided on the Adobe User to User forum.

Public Volunteers Invited To Test Future Adobe Photoshop CS4 Update
January, 21, 2009

Photoshop CS4 & Photoshop CS4 ExtendedJohn Nack has posted about a Photoshop update program that will let users who are experiencing problems with Photoshop help test a potential fix. Here's the scoop:

In the time since Photoshop CS4 shipped, we've heard from some customers about various things not working as designed. In particular, various Windows XP configurations can exhibit slowdowns.

A number of problems can be traced back to problems with video card drivers, but there are changes that Photoshop needs to make to improve the situation, and we're working on an update that'll be released soon. Photoshop performance QE lead Adam Jerugim writes,

In an effort to ensure that this change addresses the issues we hope it does, we've created a small pre-release program that we're opening to public volunteers.

So if you're a CS4 user who is experiencing performance issues and would like to help us test a potential fix, please email me @ adam dot jerugim at adobe dot com.

Thanks for your patience with this and understand that we're working as fast as possible to deliver a solution.

The Photoshop Engineering Team

I'm sorry we weren't able to catch and fix all the issues that people have encountered. If you've experienced problems and have some time to help bang on the fixes, we'd greatly appreciate your help.

Photoshop Skin Retouching Clips - 3 Free Video Clips
January, 19, 2009

The CreativeTechs website is offering three free clips from Jason Hoppe's Retouching Skin Tips. From the intro: Retouching skin can quickly become a tricky task. There are few absolutes when it comes to making faces and bodies look good — but everyone knows instantly when it's done wrong. This week we splurged with three great clips from Jason Hoppe's tip-packed webinar last week. They are short, entertaining, and immediately useful:

Video Tip 1: Photoshop's Spot Healing Brush — 4 minutes
Video Tip 2: Color Ranges with Hue/Saturation — 5 minutes
Video Tip 3: Photoshop's Liquify Body Sculpting — 5 minutes

Photoshop Skin Retouching Clips - 3 Free Video Clips

I especially enjoy what Jason calls the Neosporin brush — click on a blemish, and like magic, it's gone! And if you gained a few pounds over the long holidays, you'll be amazed at what's possible with Photoshop's liquify diet.

Device Central CS4 Tutorial
I got a new phone recently and was apt to set the photo of the kids as my wallpaper. Rather than skim the phone's user guide to try and find the specs necessary for the photo, I just opened up Adobe's Device Central. Device Central now comes with Photoshop (or Creative Suite) and most don't know that they have it installed on their system.

Did You Know You Could Create An Entire Website In Photoshop?
SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly


SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites InstantlyThere often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.

Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.

Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
