Photosynth is an impressive service from Microsoft. It enables you to upload photos and turn them into interactive 360 panoramas, photo walls, spins, or photo walks. The Photosynth team recently announced a new version of Photosynth, and it’s a really cool web experience. It leverages WebGL to visualize the content, and runs great on both desktop and […]

Linked Smart Objects in Adobe Photoshop CC
Another great feature in the latest release of Adobe Photoshop CC is Linked Smart Objects. Linked Smart Objects enable you to place another file inside of a composition as a smart object. Any time that the linked file is saved, those changes are automatically propagated to the linked documents that you have open. (If they’re […]
Perspective Warp in Adobe Photoshop CC
Today new versions of Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop were released, and there are some amazing new features added for Creative Cloud members. I’d like to take this opportunity to show off a really cool new feature in Adobe Photoshop CC… Perspective Warp! Perpsective warp was sneaked at Adobe MAX last year – it’s a new […]
360 Spherical Panoramas – The Creation of Planet Vegas
Here’s a fun tutorial for one of the last Friday afternoons of 2013… the creation of 360 degree panoramas, or “planets” as some like to call them. If you’re not quite sure what I’m talking about, check out the image below: A panorama is a wide-angle view, usually captured with either a special lens, or […]
More Device Motion Experiments with HTML & Adobe DPS
I wanted to follow up my last post on 3D Parallax effects in HTML or Adobe DPS, I’ve decided to release some of the other experiments that I’ve been exploring with device motion in DPS publications. Check out the video below to see two new samples, and a corrected version of the strawberries example from […]
Photorealistic 3D Parallax Effects in HTML or Adobe DPS with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Edge Animate
A few weeks ago, a fellow Adobe colleague showed me a DPS publication that had an amazing design. All of the content looked great by itself, but what really made parts of it “pop” was that in certain areas there was a 3D parallax effect, which made it feel like you were looking into an […]
Bringing Out the “Awesome” with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
One of my favorite parts of Creative Cloud is that it gives you everything you need to be creative. Whether you are into photography, video, illustration, print design, web design, or just dabble in creativity, Creative Cloud has everything that you need. I’ve been doing a lot of photography lately. My main tools for retouching […]
Detail Preserving Upscale in After Effects CC
The latest release of video tools for Creative Cloud contained over 150 new features. One of these is the new Detail Preserving Upscale effect for After Effects, which enables you to upscale content without negatively affecting quality – no pixelation, no loss of contrast. In fact, this is very closely related to the new detail […]
Color Key/Green Screen Video Techniques with Creative Cloud
In my last post, I talked about masks in After Effects, specifically the new motion tracking feature for rigid masks. In this post, I’m again focusing on video composition, but instead of compositing using masks, I’m going to talk about keying. Keying is a technique for selectively removing areas of a video based on content […]
The New Rigid Mask Tracker in After Effects CC
I like to think of After Effects as an animated version of Photoshop – many of the same general techniques apply: selection, masks, blend modes etc… The primary difference being that the content changes over time when working with video. In general, masks work exactly the same as they do in Photoshop – you use […]
