While Photoshop Elements is available for those who don't require the almost overwhelming feature set of Photoshop, Adobe provides no equivalent for its venerable Illustrator vector graphics application. So it's no surprise that competing applications are available on both platforms. Windows users are lucky enough to be able to choose between CorelDRAW and Xara, two applications that are also old-timers and that now in some ways provide even more functionality than Illustrator. Mac users don't yet have Illustrator alternatives that are as feature rich but the good news is that they're steadily improving, while remaining much less expensive than their Windows counterparts
A notable example is Indeeo's iDraw, which was recently updated to version 2.3. As with all such applications, iDraw allows users to draw lines and shapes with a Pen tool that creates editable Bézier curves or edit the various provided shapes, such as rounded rectangles, ellipses, stars and polygons. Multiple shapes can be combined by using the Union, Subtract, Intersect, Exclude and Divide paths commands. Multi-color linear and radial gradients can be created; colors can be defined via RGB, CMYK and HSB sliders or a color palette; layers can be used to manage complex illustrations; fluid vector calligraphic brush and pencil tools can be modified to create custom brushes; shape libraries for floor plans, iPhone app mockups and symbols are included; bitmap images can be imported and used as object fills; dimensioning and labels can be used for technical designs; and quite flexible text capabilities round out the feature set.
While not glitzy, it adds up to all the functionality that many users would actually want or need, for everything from graphic design tasks and simple illustrations through interface elements for web sites or applications. Also significant is the ability to import PDF and EPS files as editable vector objects. Native support for the AI, PDF, EPS and SVG formats allows iDraw users to exchange these files with other applications, such as Adobe Illustrator, so those those with orphaned AI files can put them to use.
The application's Core Text-based text layout and editing architecture provides support for multi-style text, placing text objects on paths and in-place editing of transformed text. Text objects can be customized with multiple style attributes within a single text box and various fonts, colors, sizes and alignment settings can be applied to multiple spans of text. Alignment, kerning and line height settings can be used to customize the positioning of text, while text can be curved along a circle or made to follow a path of any shape.
Worthy of mention is the ability to apply multiple drop shadows, inner shadows, inner glows and outer glow effects. Multiple strokes and fills can also be applied to a single object to create a variety of effects. Users can arrange the order in which the effects are applied, set blending modes for shadows and glows, and create a combination of up to twelve effects on a single object.
Version 2.3 adds the ability to import layered Adobe Photoshop PSD files while preserving vector paths and layer style effects as editable objects. Also new is ColorSync color management; smart image masking; eight new blend modes; angle gradients; inner and outer strokes; new path editing tools; dimensioning display formats; the ability to import PDF annotations; and an outline mode. All that and it's a free update for existing users, no subscription required.
Adobe Ideas is a freeform vector illustration app from the biggest name in software for creatives, and now that app has come to version 2.7. The update released on Tuesday added the ability for users to choose their stroke-smoothing, as well as the ability to share work with other Adobe apps, including Photoshop Touch. The update also adds compatibility with Ten One Design's Pogo Connect Bluetooth Pen. That means that users will be able to leverage the pressure-sensitive features of that device in order to create more detailed works.Adobe Ideas version 2.7 is available as a free download from the App Store. The 9.2MB download is compatible with iPhones, iPods, and iPads running iOS 5.1 or later.
Camera+ hits version 3.9 with new effects, borders
Premium camera app Camera+ saw an update on Wednesday, adding a number of features to bring the iPhone and iPad versions of the app closer to each other. The update now allows users to combine any number of Camera+'s effects to create new composite looks. The iPhone version now also supports effects layering, after the Camera+ team went through multiple iterations to get the user interface right for the smaller screen.
The update also adds a new effects pack for the app. The new pack is called the Hollywood Effects Pack, and it includes nine new effects, as well as nine new borders. Those effects and borders are all styled after assorted movies and film promotional standards. Users can demo the Hollywood Effects Pack for free, and if they decide to buy it, the in-app purchase costs $1.
The update also contains a number of bug fixes and stability optimizations. Users can also link Camera+ with their Facebook accounts, provided they have logged into that account on their iOS device.
Camera+ version 3.9 is available as a $1 download in the App Store. The 36.9MB download requires an iPhone, iPod, or iPad running iOS 5.0 or later.
Due to the generosity of the local cable access channel WDEE, Samuel Luedtke was able to attend a summer film camp for high school students at Northern Illinois University (NIU) in DeKalb, Ill.
Luedtke would like to share this opportunity with the community by offering a mini course for Mac users focusing on producing a photo slideshow keepsake or a video for participants.
Justin van Leeuwen: Sure, the whole thing? This is where I get to be a self-centred narcissist; so if you’re not interested in a biography or serendipitous romance I suggest you skip to the second question:
I grew up in Toronto Ontario reading comics and playing video games. While I always admired art, I was never able to produce it. I ended up working at a Comic Book store for several years [read: eleven!] called the Silver Snail where I was able to interact with some VERY talented storytellers working in the medium. From there I was able to travel to New York, L.A., and San Diego to various conventions and really get a feel for that industry and know some of the major players in Comic from the past, and a few leading the way to the future. Sadly, eventually, I had to move on from that career and ended up Fundraising at Sunnybrook Hospital, also in Toronto.
Here’s where the story gets a little interesting (to me at least). I got the job at Sunnybrook through a reference by my then room-mate Kari – she and I were high school friends – ALSO through her I got to meet and really enjoy the company of her fantastic group of friends from University. Two of the guys in particular I became pretty good friends with, Aaron and Attila; and they both had digital SLRs.
Like everyone else I had a digital P&S that came out at parties but nothing more thoughtful than that, but after seeing the work Attila was doing, I was blown away, and thought that if I could do a fraction of that maybe I could find my own creative outlet.
Attila and Aaron both blogged, still do, sorta. Attila’s much better known for his remarkable photo-blog thinsite.net, and Aaron’s is aaron.stasis.org. Naturally I wanted to join the group (just a wanna-be) so Aaron helped set me up a photoblog on his server and we were off!
Eventually, almost solely through Thinsite, I picked up some traffic and came to know a few other bloggers, some of them from Canada too. One who we struck up a number of conversations with was Xtina from onvertigo.ca, another gifted photographer. She was out in Ottawa at the time and I was kind of eager to spread my wings a bit, go “somewhere,” so Aaron and I booked a roadtrip to visit Xtina and see what Ottawa had to offer. Apparently what it had to offer, both Aaron and I, was women.
To sum all of this up, because I’m sure your readers aren’t nearly as interested in me as I’m interested in myself; Xtina ended up moving to Toronto and is now engaged to Aaron, I met Xtina’s friend Mel that weekend, who I then knocked up (after months of dating of course) and ended up living with in Ottawa, now we’re engaged too, with our CRAZY CUTE son Quinn, a second boy is on his way for December or so.
While photography has encompassed a small portion of my life, it has certainly influenced the direction I’ve taken it over the past 4 years.
