Blog on photoshop express

Comments (0)

Adobe has launched the online version of photoshop express for free. There is no download required for photoshop express unless if you have lower version of flash player. Flash 9 works fine with express. At present this version of online photoshop express won't replace the photoshop application. In future, adobe might move the features one by one.

Our experience: In the high speed connection, uploading of photos took time. Otherwise they have cool features in online photoshop express.

  • Crop & Rotate—Turn it, straighten it, crop out the background.
  • Auto Correct—Automatic, one-click, optimal lighting and contrast adjustment.
  • Exposure—Change the brightness of the photo.
  • Red-Eye Removal—Removes red eyes caused by some camera flashes.
  • Touchup—Remove scratches and other imperfections.
  • Saturation—Ramp up the colors to blinding brightness, dampen them down to black and white, or anywhere in between.
  • White Balance—Ever notice how people look different inside an office with the ugly fluorescent tubes, as opposed to outside on a bright sunny day? Adjust the white balance and you change the type of lighting in the photo.
  • Highlight—The brightest parts of a photo are the highlights. This control lets you brighten or darken just the brightest part of the photo, without affecting the darker parts (we call those the shadows).
  • Fill Light—If you take a shot facing into the sun, your subject can end up too dark due to the camera’s automatic exposure adjustment. Fill Light brightens the dark area without overbrightening the background.
  • Sharpen—It’s like putting in your contacts. Suddenly everything comes more into focus.
  • Soft Focus—It’s like taking your contacts out. Soft Focus creates a subtle blur for artistic effect.
  • Hue—This one changes all the colors in a photo at once.
  • Black & White—Control how the colors are converted when you change a photo to black and white.
  • Tint—Imagine instead of black and white, you want red and white, or pale brown and white for that old Western look.
  • Sketch—Makes any photo look like you drew it yourself.
  • Distort—Stretch, twist, bulge specific areas of your photos.

Adobe Dreamweaver cs3 - Review.

DW CS3- Enhanced Version

For past 8 years, Dreamweaver is leading the HTML & web authoring space. None of the other applications including Microsoft's Front Page is not par with DW. After the Adobe's acquisition of Macromedia, there are lots of new advanced featured added in DW. Dreamweaver CS3 integrates well with other Adobe tools, including Adobe Flash CS3 Professional, Fireworks CS3, Photoshop CS3, Contribute CS3, and new Adobe Device Central CS3 for creating mobile device content.

Creating and configuring CSS (Cascading style sheet) is made easier than the previous version of DW. In code view, few lines of codes can be collapsed for easy and faster editing. Enhanced code hints are available for HTML as well as server side scripting. Embedding flash file is made easy for non flash users.

The new browser compatibility check and CSS advisor make it simple to find and resolve CSS issues. And Photoshop integration makes image management as easy as copy and paste. Option of zooming and Pan is also available in CS3.

There are lots of flexibility in CS3. CS3 is the best of all Dreamweaver versions.

Microsoft Silverlight - Next Generation?

Comments (0)

There are lots of talks going on about Microsoft's Silverlight. Lots of questions have raised on Silverlight replacing Flash. Michael Arrington has blogged and has given good feedback about Silverlight. Tech crunch says that "Silverlight: The Web Just Got Richer" and the blog says Microsoft-hater Steve Gillmor gives it a thumbs up and says “the engineering behind this is stunning.” Robert Scoble, who’s angry at Microsoft for not giving him a free pass to the Mix event, says “Microsoft “rebooted the Web” yesterday.” The list goes on.

Interesting thing I read about Silverlight:

Using Silverlight you can distribute multimedia as part of the application at quality levels up to 720p (high definition) and also in native full screen (not just a maximized browser screen). The demonstrations shown today were simply gorgeous, and we are finally seeing a web-based video distribution model that can compete with both desktop-based downloads as well as DVD and other offline content.

on mobile: Silverlight was demonstrated today on a Windows mobile device as part of a new service that the NBL have built. The demo showed both Silverlight applications and media streaming running on a mobile phone - so Silverlight even at this stage is about more than just the desktop browser and desktop market. With windows mobile and Symbian now the two dominant mobile platforms, I can’t see any reasons why we won’t see Silverlight on Symbian as well - thus spreading the platform across the vast majority of both desktops and mobiles, something that alternative platforms have not managed to do.

What is Silverlight:

Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of Microsoft .NET–based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. This is a free plug-in available for all browsers.
