Prodigal Mac: Apple Sure Doesn't Make Life Easy
All that good advice down the hopper
by Kevin Schmitt
A few weeks back I wrote an installment of Prodigal Mac called "Excuse Me While I Pull My Hair Out." I'm sure many of you, as I did, took the time to print out and frame that fine work of prose, so I'm betting everyone is extremely familiar with it. However, as a service to you, the reading public, I will summarize that column in one sentence or less.

Channel Storm Live Channel Pro 1.2
Live QuickTime broadcaster and multimedia studio
by David Nagel
I had a strange reaction the first time I launched Live Channel. It was, "How'd they do that?" Live Channel (from Channel Storm) is a QuickTime broadcasting application for the Macintosh. It's announcement, back in July, boldly promised a live, real-time QuickTime streaming solution that could easily substitute for an entire broadcast studio.

Creating a 3D Effect in Photoshop
How to use Photoshop's Filter Factory to shift an image's color channels
by David Nagel
Here's a tutorial whose main purpose will probably be of little use to most of you. Sound enticing? Well, even if it won't be of direct use to you, you can still learn something from it and prepare yourself a bit for an upcoming tutorial series on writing your own Photoshop filters. (That's a little better, isn't it? Everybody wants to know how to create their own filters!)
