by Stephen Schleicher

WHY PAY MORE?


Prodigal Mac: Let The Macromedia Obsession Continueth
With Flash MX on OS X, (mostly) all is forgiven
by Kevin Schmitt
I've only got 10 days left, and by the time you read this, it will probably be even less. I've been slowly, and with increasing sadness, watching the "days left" counter on my Flash MX trial version tick down from thirty. I'm at ten days and counting before I have to break out the old credit card and plunk down my hard-earned $199 for the upgrade from Flash 5. I'm not all that pleased about that, since the version 5 upgrade was fifty clams less back in the summer of 2000, but I feel I have no choice. That's because in the span of less than three weeks, I have come to completely love and depend on Flash MX.

Digital Voodoo Intros Mac Editing Boards
Prices lowered on Iridium line
by David Nagel
Digital Voodoo has introduced several new Macintosh video editing and capture boards. The new models pretty much span the gamut of editing boards, from HD to real-time SD to output-only to a new input/output model geared specifically for broadcast designers. The company has also lowered prices on its Iridium AV output-only card for broadcast designers.

Batch Processing in Adobe Photoshop
Using Actions to process multiple files
by David Nagel
"I have a bazillion pictures that need to be rotated and resized. Is there any way to do this quickly in Photoshop?" I get asked this question all the time--or at least questions similar to this one. For those of you familiar with Photoshop's batch processing capabilities, you couldn't imagine doing it any other way. For those of you unfamiliar with batch processing, you're about to find out why.
