Diffusion Curves | New Product Reviews | Contest Time

CATEGORIES: Living In Layers | RC | June 30, 2008

Happy Monday everyone. Here’s a really cool video that Dave Cross turned me onto. This video shows a new piece of technology called Diffusion Curves – which take the concept of the Bezier Curve and tweak it a bit to get some amazing results. Now, although this is not an Illustrator piece of functionality, and it’s not yet decided whether any application will use this right now (it’s a paper after all), it does offer a great view into the crystal ball to see the potential of these applications. Click on the video link below to check it out.

New Product Reviews
Our Reviews section has got a couple of interesting products, with a specific highlight on PUB2ID. This is a program that seems to be a great solution for individuals that are graduating from Microsoft Publisher and moving into Adobe InDesign.

Contest Time
So. Here we are – contest time. I’m feeling a little bit Photo related, so let’s do that. To the winner of the contest this week, I am going to give away a copy Scott Kelby’s Digital Photography Books, Volumes 1 and 2 – as well as a copy of Scott’s newest DVD Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Digital Photographers.

OK. So in the Product Reviews, we have a product from a company called Griffin. What is the name of the product? Go to the Contact Page, and fill out your name, email address and the contest answer. The contest will end Thursday 5PM and we will announce a winner Friday morning.

That’s it for today everyone. Have a wonderful week!

I really hope the folks at Adobe perked up their ears with that Diffusion Curves paper. That could be the biggest evolution of vector graphics in a long time.

Thanks for this opportunity, I would love to win the photography books and DVD! I have always wanted to become a photographer, and maybe this will get me started on the right track

I wasn’t sure where to send my entry, so I sent it to the blog. Is that ok?
