Batman The Dark Knight Poster
July 18, 2008

I've mentioned to you before to be careful of John Nack's blog as it can lead to missing time experiences, due to the endless sources of amazing content he links to. A few days ago he linked to a new Batman The Dark Knight poster and I find it so inspiring. It's the work of the BLT & Associates team. Look under Print > Theatrical in their menu bar for more posters. Here's a link to a large version of the Batman Dark Knight poster, so you can really appreciate the nice work. Here's a link to John Nack. You've been warned.

Akvis Magnifier - Standalone Software For Increasing Image Resolution
July 18, 2008

Akvis Magnifier - Standalone Software For Increasing Image ResolutionAKVIS Magnifier allows resizing images without noticeable loss in quality. If you attempt to blow up a picture (increase its resolution) using the standard Resize command of a photo editor, you will notice that the resulting photo is blurred and pixelated. The reason is that the input photo didn't contain enough information for the new size. AKVIS Magnifier will cope with this problem and deliver good results.

Featuring advanced enlargement algorithms, Magnifier enlarges digital pictures to super-high resolution for producing stunning poster-size prints.

The algorithm keeps edges smooth, sharp and clearly defined, while improving image appearance by removing unwanted noise and compression artifacts.

Resizing pictures with AKVIS Magnifier yields a much higher quality than simple bicubic interpolation. Depending on particular needs, AKVIS Magnifier can be fine-tuned to produce images that look exactly as required for a given purpose.

The software allows enlarging an image to a super-high resolution of up to 30000x30000 pixels, making a 100x100 inch (2.5x2.5 meter) poster easily printable at typographic quality of 300dpi.

AKVIS Magnifier makes it easy for anyone to produce professional-looking photos. It is easily configurable and allows fine-tuning the resulting photo by allowing complete control over the image sharpness and edges. Home users can apply the program to enlarge photos taken from Internet or images taken with a low-resolution camera.



Whether creating poster-size images or adding resolution for a better printing quality, AKVIS Magnifier will make your enlarged image look crisp and clear.

AKVIS Magnifier is a standalone program. In the future it is planned to release a plug-in version of AKVIS Magnifier, compatible with the most popular photo editors and supporting the "automate" function (the possibility to include third party modules for task automation, process adjustment, creation of special effects, etc). You can use the software 10 days free of charge.

Photoshop Plugin Reviews From Jay Nelson - July 2008
July 16, 2008

Here are the latest Photoshop Plugin Reviews by Jay Nelson, the editor-in-chief of Design Tools Monthly.

Software - Mystical Painter Bundle
Mystical Tint Tone and Color - Auto FX PhotoshopPluginThrough August 31, get Corel Painter X, Auto FX Mystical Tint Tone and Color, Auto FX Mystical Lighting, and training videos for just $349 (reg. $900).

Plug-in - Reduce Noise & Grain
Kodak's Professional GEM 2.1 ($100) is a plug-in for Photoshop that removes visual noise from scans and digital photos. It's effective on the noisiest images, but many photographers also use it to remove noise from their high-quality images. The website has a free set of Photoshop actions that we found produces a better result than we could achieve manually. It's also useful for removing JPEG compression artifacts, and line screening patterns from flatbed scanners. You can download a free trial to try on your own images.

Software - Liquid Resize Preview
onOne Software's Liquid Resize uses a new technology that can stretch an image while not distorting important items. You paint a mask over the items you want to protect, and then Liquid Resize changes the proportions of the image while maintaining the aspect ratio of those elements. The company is making a prerelease standalone version available for free; the final product will be a plug-in for Photoshop. Get it now at www.ononesoftware.com.
(Enter our exclusive discount coupon code - PSSPPT06 - during the checkout process at onOne Software for an instant 10% discount on all onOne products.)

Plug-in - SiteGrinder: Web Pages from Photoshop Layers
SiteGrinder Basic and SiteGrinder ProMedia Lab's SiteGrinder 2 ($129 Basic or $349 Pro) is now compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. SiteGrinder lets you build instantly-usable CSS-based Web pages from objects on Photoshop layers. SiteGrinder converts the layers in a Photoshop document into objects on a Web page, with rollovers and pop-ups attached if desired. All you do is name your layers appropriately ("rollover", "menu", etc.) and SiteGrinder does the rest. You can use it to create Web pages from an entire Photoshop document, or from individual layers. In addition, hyperlinks can be added to the live text from within Photoshop, and Type layers can be converted into styled CSS text. You can create forms, apply background tiles, create automated photo galleries, and add Flash, animated GIF, MP3 music, and QuickTime & Windows video.

Plug-in - Instant Color & Light Fix
Kodak's Professional ROC 2.1 and Professional SHO 2.1 ($100 each) are plug-ins for Photoshop that automatically restore color and light balance to images. ROC restores and balances color, and is great for old, faded photos or photos taken under fluorescent or tungsten lighting conditions. SHO optimizes contrast and exposure and brings out detail in shadow areas, significantly improving photos suffering from poor flash or backlighting. These plug-ins were developed by Applied Science Fiction, famous for its "Digital ICE" technology used by scanners to remove dust, grain, cracks, scratches and wrinkles while scanning.

SiteGrinder Basic and SiteGrinder ProMedia Lab today announced a bevy of new features and enhancements to its award-winning product, SiteGrinder 2, the powerful and easy-to-use plug-in for Adobe Photoshop that lets designers, artists, or those with no web coding expertise generate superior webpages directly from within Photoshop.

SiteGrinder 2 lets users effortlessly convert their Photoshop designs into CSS-rich, standards-compliant webpages inside Photoshop with just a click of the mouse. New SiteGrinder 2 features include 100% compatibility with Apple's latest operating system, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard; Macintosh Universal compatibility (PowerPC and Intel processors); full Microsoft Vista compatibility; dramatically improved support for JPEG metadata; much more powerful and robust pop-up menus; and enhanced support for non-English language character sets.

SiteGrinder Basic and SiteGrinder ProSiteGrinder 2 allows users to focus exclusively on their webpage designs without the having to write a single line of Web code.

Pages generated by SiteGrinder 2 retain the exact look and layout of the parent Photoshop file from which they were created.

"We're very excited to be bringing these new enhancements and features to SiteGrinder 2 and our customers around the world," said Thomas Summerall, co-founder and President of Media Lab, Inc. "SiteGrinder 2 puts extremely powerful and easy-to-use webpage creation capabilities in the hands of our customers, letting them focus exclusively on their designs rather than on confusing webpage code. SiteGrinder 2 lets customers take ownership of their websites like never before, and at an extremely reasonable price point."

Priced at US$349.00 for SiteGrinder 2 Pro and US$129.00 for SiteGrinder 2 Basic, both are available directly from the Media Lab website. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.

On the Macintosh, SiteGrinder 2 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.1 or greater, Photoshop 7 or greater, Photoshop CS3 on Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs (Mac OS X 10.5 or greater required for use on Intel-based Macs), or Photoshop Elements 3 or greater.

Photoshop Action Pack — 90 Automator Actions
July 13, 2008

Photoshop Automator Action Pack Updated
If you're a Mac-based Photoshop users needs to automate your Photoshop production pipeline, you need look no further than the Photoshop Action Pack, a collection of 90 Automator Actions that allow you to script nearly all of Photoshop's functionality from within Apple's Automator.

The new version, which is for Photoshop CS3 adds two new actions: Set Blending Mode of Current Layer, and Copy IPTC to Spotlight Comments. The first lets you change a layer's blending mode, just as you would from Photoshop's Layers palette, while the second lets you automate the process of copying IPTC tags into spotlight comments. With this release, a few other actions have seen feature additions. You can now use multiple copies of Restore Original Image within the same workflow, and Copy Data to IPTC now lets you specify a separator to use when appending data. This release also brings some important bug fixes, most notably to Unsharp Mask, which now works properly.

While Photoshop has its own built-in Actions mechanism for automating repetitive tasks, Automator offers a number of advantages. Because Automator lets you build automation workflows that include more applications than just Photoshop, you can create a single automation that processes images in Photoshop, and then hands the output to another application for additional work. Also, with the Photoshop Action Pack collection of Automator actions, you get logical operations and conditional functionality that you don't have with Photoshop's built-in actions. So, you can build automated workflows that process each image differently depending on its characteristics.

The Photoshop Action Pack is available for free download . If you're still using Photoshop CS2 or CS, then you can also download version 3.5. Finally, if you find these actions helpful, and want to see more development on them, or if you're just extremely thankful to be reading about something other than the iPhone, you should consider making a donation using the Paypal button located at the bottom of the Action Pack web page.

Photoshop CS3 Retouching E-book From Gry Garness
July 01, 2008

As photo-retouching has gradually become the norm, the glossy magazines have dramatically raised the bar for visual perfection to a flawless zenith that has influenced all areas of photography. Photographers today are expected to produce the same kind of flawlessness – but although there’s an abundance of tutorials for the consumer market there has been a distinct lack of guidance for the professional photographer-retoucher.

Take a look at Gry Garness’s Digital Retouching For Fashion, Beauty And Portrait Photography. This 190 page e-book on retouching and post-production explains and de-mystifies the essential techniques within retouching and colour adjustment. It’s presented as a series of straightforward ’recipes’ that provide solutions to specific ‘cosmetic’ problems, with sections that focus specifically on colour, skin, facial features, hair, figure, fashion and finishing, as well as a chapter dedicated to efficient retouching. The book is refreshingly free from jargon and Photoshop jokes. It’s a working tool for all photographic professionals; including portrait and beauty photographers, digital operators, retouchers as well as graphic designers; in fact anyone wanting to transform ‘good’ people shots into stunning, high-quality images.

SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly

Media Lab Release SiteGrinder Basic and SiteGrinder ProThere 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, this program 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, this program is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks.

SiteGrinder Basic and SiteGrinder ProGenerate Your Web Pages Directly From Photoshop
By generating web pages directly from Photoshop, you'll be able to spend much more time on the creative end of the spectrum, since you'll know right off the bat how well particular designs will translate to the web. No more going back to the Photoshop drawing board after getting a phone call from your development team, telling you that what you had envisioned doesn't have a chance of being displayed on the web. You can immediately visually and interactively test your designs, which permits you to then make changes to either esthetics or functions while it's still relatively early on in the design process.

Pricing and Availability
Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download. SiteGrinder can be ordered from Media Lab's online store.
