I was going to post about this but didn't want it to come across as spam. naked light does look awesome though. I can't wait to try it out.

Oh that site made my DAY!  I've never been on a site that said my browser was inadequate and that I should use Safari or FireFox instead!
And yes I'm using I.E. 7

Yea that does look pretty good. 3 more hours...

Sounds like an update of Live Picture.

It's really just an app that takes advantage of the new non-destructive image processing in Leopard.

That said, this "infinite resolution" thing sounds kind of retarded. Like it or not, displays and printers have a PPI and DPI, and designers need to be able to control that stuff.

Well I guess it works well in theory and especially in the program. Printing and a monitor that can show it in a fair way might be another story as you say. But I guess the idea is that you shouldn't have to edit every part you want to put into the final composition. I'm no editing pro though, just a sucker for cool gui's that in a best case scenario works. It's not cool if it doesn't work.

It reset again...vaporware?

Jebus, this thing is HORRIBLE.

I can't even get an image to load properly. Moreover, the composition window is not movable or closable. And the tool bar? Magnification and stacks? Are you smurfing kidding me?

Perhaps these folks (kids?) should've spend more time developing something that works, not a fancy website and blog for something that is a long looooong way from anything titled "public beta."

Reading this makes me wonder why they didn't postponed the release another month or so so that they could fix the worst problems.

WARNING: THIS BETA RELEASE

IS FOR THE ADVENTUROUS AND

BRAVE OF HEART ONLY

Seriously, most users should wait until the next beta release...

It's not a big app though, only 1.2MB. I guess it just works as as framework for many of the flashy builtin functions in Leopard. I wonder how much they want for it when it's finished.

I've yet to try this demo out, so I really don't know what they hell they're talking about.

Yet, having control over DPI is pretty damn critical. Sure, zooming everything, including low-res source material, is easier... but it produces crap.

Isn't the idea that you can build it out to the res you need? That's why I mentioned Live Picture. That's how you output from it.

Of course you have to have enough pixels going in.

So I take it you don't like it?

There are people that like this app?

From messing with it an admittedly very short time, I have to wonder what it is supposed to do at all. It does not appear capable of even opening anything at all seeing as how the "open" command in the file menu is grayed out.
The wannabe "stacks" menus that pop out from the side are frighteningly horrible in both concept and execution. Talk about taking a bad idea and misapplying it in an entirely inappropriate other context. Just what every UI needs. Menus that pop out from the side, in a smurfing arc. Gagh!!
