Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Cloud is every tool and services you would use in your business, from design to audio/video editing, to create, collaborate and stay in sync. Adobe Creative Cloud is not just about the over 34 application offerings on the cloud, but it’s also about the Adobe services included.

Core features include:

  • Desktop, Web and Mobile Access. Creative Cloud allows users t o stay connected with workgroups and the creative community via their desktop, website, or mobile device. With Creative Cloud, your entire creative world gets its own centralized hub where ideas, files, fonts, settings, notifications, and team members are connected and organized. Join group folders to work collaboratively; track updates and comments to share files; stay connected to work on Behance; get notified when app updates are available and download the latest updates; and access favourite colors, fonts, settings, wherever you are.
  • Integration with The World’s Leading Creative Community. With Behance now integrated with Creative Cloud, members will be able to publish their own portfolios, follow other creatives, publish work-in-progress from within a growing number of CC apps and solicit feedback from the worldwide creative community. Over 1.4 million creatives globally are part of the Behance network.
  • Synchronize, Store, Share and Collaborate. All files and assets will be automatically synchronized between the desktop, cloud and mobile devices. A designer can take a photo on their iPad, use Photoshop Touch to refine the photo while on the go, then access that file, via the cloud, and use Photoshop CC on their Mac or Windows PC to further enhance the image. Designers can designate shared folders and invite others to collaborate on files. Edits are stored with version history so users can share their files with confidence. Individual members receive 20 GB or storage.
  • Seamless Publishing. Creative Cloud members have access to the services necessary to publish highly personalized portfolio web sites using Behance ProSite, high-impact digital magazines for iPad using Digital Publishing Suites (DPS) Single Edition, and PhoneGap Build to create and publish mobile apps for any device. Adobe Typekit features an unmatched library of old-classic to new-favourite fonts for use on websites – and with this update, creatives can use many of the same fonts directly in their desktop applications.

Have you ever tried to capture your voice in a bottle like fireflies when you were a kid, just to see if it works? I have. Now, Jun Fujiwara from Tama Art University, has taken this childhood dream and made the most interesting invention ever – Re:Sound Bottle. It basically captures various sounds, and remixes them into music. Way cool!

Dune 2 – Relive your childhood from the browser

Dune 2 was one of the first real-time strategy that established the fundamentals of what RTS games you know today – from Warcraft to Starcraft, Command & Conquer, and beyond. I remember playing this game back in school (yes I am that old), and it’s still fun to play even today. Now, you can play this game right from your browser – ported to HTML5 with classic graphics and fonts – the works. If you have a kid that’s into gaming, get him to play Dune 2 and appreciate the history of RTS games!

(Video) Canon EOS-1D C tested for its high-res 4K motion photography

Canon gave a bunch of photographers to test out their upcoming Canon EOS-1D C (releasing early next year 2013), showcasing the feasibility of motion capture (taking videos) and using specific frames as a photograph. This fundamentally changes the idea of photography – “Capturing the perfect moment” to “Capturing a length of moment and selecting the perfect moment”. With the 4k video capture capability, video becomes a powerful tool for photographers now. However, the captured frame will still be in jpeg/tiff format, not RAW, which requires the photographer to refine his fundamentals of photography – composition, lighting, white balance, shutter speed, aperture, iso, lenses, etc. The results? Just simply amazing production as taking a photo straight up, with better composition of the photo and its subject.

Will the Canon EOS-1D C change the way photography is done?

Sleep No More – Prevent your Mac from sleeping

Remember Caffeine? It’s an app that prevents your Mac from going to sleep. You can download it from the Mac App Store.

However, if you need a little more control over your Mac’s sleeping habits, including controlling the amount of time to keep it from sleeping, Sleep No More just does that. The down side is, it only supports OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.
