Corel Painter 11

Posted by Published in IL, Media, Object, Reviews, Software, ad, app, art, brushes, computer, ea, graph, graphics, history, it, mac, os, photo, photos, photoshop, ram, review, update, upgrade

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. read more

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. read more

iMovie ‘09

Posted by Published in Object, Reviews, Software, ad, app, apple, art, ea, features, graph, mac, mad, mod, movie, movies, new, pre, review, time, ui

When Apple introduced iMovie ‘08, it created a schism in the Mac video-editing world. On one hand, the new version introduced an entirely new interface that made editing quick, casual movies far easier than before. On the other hand, Apple was so busy implementing this new model that it didn’t have time to reimplement all the features of previous iterations, leaving a lot of iMovie users believing the new version was really a step backward. read more

Twenty-two years after Madonna sang “Who’s That Girl?” iPhoto ’09 uses facial recognition to organize your photos based on who’s in them. With an Event or album selected, you click the new Name button in the toolbar to get started. iPhoto looks for faces in your photos, and you type in the name of each unknown face to “teach” the app to recognize your friends and loved (or at least photographed) ones. read more
