Sneak peek at new Adobe Photoshop features

Photoshop’s new Content Aware Fill tool will blow your mind

image

Over at the Adobe Photoshop Facebook Fan page, they’ve posted a nice preview clip of beautiful new advancements in the fill tool, using a tech tool called PatchMatch. What it is, is an algorithm that is content-aware, allowing you to intelligently remove objects, wires, hair, etc from an image even easier than ever before using the fill tool and spot healing tools. Really cool tech, check it out for a taste of what’s (hopefully) coming in the next revision to PS.

DSLR Remote App for iPhone

Matt Jeppsen | 05/22- 07:24 AM

Fully remote control Canon cameras with this app for the iPhone and iPod Touch

image

There’s a new program coming to the App Store for iPod Touch and iPhone users. This program by Mike Wong enables complex remote control and triggering of Canon DSLR cameras (the developer is working on a Nikon version as well). The app runs on your mobile device, and communicates over wifi with a laptop connected to the camera by USB. I’m not just talking about triggering the shutter release, this app can do it all; shutter speed, aperture, white balance, intervalometer, review shots, and even stream Live View to the iPhone display. I understand that they will enable video record start/stop in a future update for cameras like the Canon 5D MKII. Read more below for the full scoop and links.
