Pressure-sensitive LCD pen tablet
by David Nagel
Writers who specialize creative technology get the best toys to play with. We get more software than we could possibly use, and we also get first dibs on some pretty amazing hardware—everything from digital projectors to computer workstations to printers and cameras. And, on rare occasions, we get to put our greasy, pizza-encrusted hands on hardware so powerful, so drool-inducing that it ought to be taboo for anyone to touch it without some sort of government exemption or papal mandate. Such is the case with the Cintiq 15X from Wacom.
Tips for navigation and basic operations in the new OS
by David Nagel
Some time ago I wrote up a short list of tips and tricks for getting around Mac OS X. But a few things have changed since that time, and more and more of you are making the switch, so I thought I'd go ahead and revisit the topic now.

Impressions of OS X from a Windows convert
by Kevin Schmitt
I'm a big "what if" guy, so during my three-year-plus experiment over in the land of Windows, there was one particular "what if" that I couldn't help thinking about. It went a little something like this: What if you took the few good parts of Windows and merged it with most of the Mac OS? My answer to this particular question was usually, "Man, you'd have one pretty outstanding operating system."
Visual effects filters for Adobe After Effects
by David Nagel
There are really two categories of visual effects plugins for compositing applications. You have canned special effects and general-purpose image manipulation tools. Neither one is inherently superior to the other. But, in large part, canned special effects have limited applications for professional use. After all, once a special effect has been used in a widely distributed piece, subsequent uses are just copies. On the other hand, there is the fact that so many general image manipulation tools offer sub-par quality and dubious usefulness.
Using the Stroke Path command in conjunction with tool options in Adobe Photoshop
David Nagel
A long time ago, I mentioned that I was looking for a way to simulate a motion blur in Photoshop. I don't mean just a simple motion blur like the one you find in the Filter menu. I mean a more versatile blur, one that would allow me to blur in multiple directions. In other words, a motion blur along a path. Well, I just might have found the answer. You decide.
