The Adobe Apple Tour 2004 is coming to Belgium in February. If you want to discover the power of Apple's G5 combined with Adobe's Creative Suite this is your event. Apple will also demo Panther and that's a wonderful beast. Panther is spurring on our companies Macs since October 2003 and it has been a really smooth ride so far. So if you still have any doubts in upgrading to Panther you'll have to go take a look at this event. Panther is the best MacOS so far.

I am still working with Photoshop 7, Illustrator 10 and Indesign 2 because of the high update price if you own several licenses like we do. The loyal customer is the peanut with this upgrade because all the favors are for people who just have an older version of Photoshop. They can upgrade to the creative suite for a very cheap price. Adobe does nothing for people like us who have bought every update of all the programs in the past. I called adobe to make a complaint about that but so far without any response.

To remain in the nice pixel-look (ref. yesterday’s post), I found this interesting website… By downloading the template people were able to build their own virtual apartment. Since the apartment has reached its limits of 1000 meters height and 331 residents you’re now unable to add another apartment. Still I really wanted to share this with you, since this is really a cool idea :-)

This is 1 of the many wacko apartments:

Visit world’s tallest virtual building.

It’s common knowledge that Photoshop is being used to touch up or manipulate the image of products, models etc. Now I came across a master in deception, a real Photoshop guru, his name is Greg.

In his portfolio you will get a pretty good idea of what is possible and what is being used nowadays in advertising. Greg opens his magic box of tricks and I can tell (as a Photoshop user) it is amazing! On his page you can see a “before” and “after” very interesting to view. The downside to all this eye-candy is that I can only conclude that I feel like an amateur next to what he does ;-)
