Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

Posted 11/24/2009 at 3:27pm | by Leslie Ayers

Comments

If forced to choose a photo editor to sit down and have a beer with, Elements 8 would be our drinking buddy of choice. It’s friendly, smart, and it seems to know what we want to do with our images even before we do. Unlike with Photoshop CS4, which is certainly the expert in its field and the go-to choice for pro photographers, Elements 8 packs just the right combo of helpful, intuitive tools for average Joes and powerful features that even hard-core Photoshoppers can appreciate.

Apple Motion 4

Motion 4 isn’t a standalone product--it ships with latest version of Final Cut Studio. Yes, this video effects program might be a mere “component” of a larger software suite, but because it competes with standalone applications, we decided to distinguish it with its own review. And we went all “deep focus” on it, because Motion 4 has come a long way since the days when Apple was selling it as solo software.

Pixelmator offers a Photoshop-esque experience for those who don’t know the ins and outs of Photoshop. While it lacks the depth of niche features that distinguish Adobe’s offering, it matches, and often beats, Photoshop when it comes to interface, usability, and speed, offering an extensive feature list of its own.

Corel Painter 11

Posted 08/26/2009 at 1:16am | by jamor

Comment

Painter has been around the computer graphics world almost as long as Photoshop and has always been the absolute leader in the realm of simulating natural media (paintbrushes, pencils, inks, and so on)—and retains the title to this very day. While this latest version of Painter continues to be the go-to app for painting on your Mac, this update is possibly the least exciting in the program’s history and doesn’t offer much in the way of upgrade incentive for existing users.

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words. And now that multimedia has taken over the Web, flat 2D images sometimes just aren’t enough anymore. But going from a series of photos to an interactive 3D image can take a bit of work. After stitching the photos together, additional processing is required to turn them into interactive, virtual reality files viewable in a Web browser. Some stitching programs have the capacity to output QuickTime VR (QTVR) files. Flash developers, meanwhile, have made huge strides in coding Flash to display interactive virtual reality images, and a handful of dedicated programs now create Flash-based VR files.
