Re: Challenge 300: Photoshop CS6
Is this the Hex version of cs6 Josephine? Should work fine with the marching ants. |

Re: Challenge 300: Photoshop CS6
CS6 will be i pad compatible. It'll have all the amazing features from this week's entries. Those funny stacks of panels that clutter up the screen and always collapse or expand at the wrong time will be gone, instead panels can be arranged on rotating cubes. Most people will download CS6, but it also comes in a CD case... So much for my ideas, running out of time, so this visual will have to do. Imagine an interface like the one Tom created.  |

Re: Challenge 300: Photoshop CS6
Some really great ideas. I should have started this a lot earlier to try and get the box right, but will carry on at some stage!  |

Would have loved to enter this week, had a few ideas, but child minding in Singapore has kept me too busy. _________________ Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize. |

Re: Challenge 300: Photoshop CS6
I've greatly enjoyed the inspired entries this week, which has produced some really clever ideas and some subtle Photoshop work. First to peer into the future was jwhite, with a charmingly retro approach. John, now that I've seen it I'm not giving up the new Refine Edge tool for anything... Very interesting work from tomiloi, with a 3D box that features 3D lettering that seems to be sunk into the box itself, and that also produces hallucinations of elephants. I like the idea here - but feel the hill line should be offset as is passes through the box, as if it was refracted through it. A great idea from Tom, having the images projected into space: it would certainly mean an end to cluttered desktops. Still the same old plastic keyboard, though? Now there's one thing that really needs an upgrade. Virtual reality gloves, anyone? I love the textural approach in the second entry, though - is that what they mean by tablet computing? Very tickled by tooquilos's Egyptian interface - a beautifully created version of the Photoshop interface (although the Greek menus rather confused me). And I liked the animated version, with the scarab as the cursor! I liked seeing James' desktop - I assume that's really your desk, James - and the rather tasteful new animated packaging, with about the funkiest CS6 lettering I've yet seen. If you have the Extended version of Photoshop, you could use Vanishing Point to turn that box around so it's viewed from a whole range of angles... I absolutely love brewell's Render as Real feature - now that's exactly what we could all do with. And I really like the subtlety of the visual explanation, in which half the mug has a marching ants selection, and so is clearly still part of the screen. Don’t know how long it took you to come up with this way of getting the point across, but it really works - an ingenious solution! Photoshop talking back to us? That's Nick Curtain's big idea - and it's one that I personally find rather scary. A great box shot, though, and I like the MacUser quote! An interesting idea from nerdtron: that we can choose our own skins for Photoshop, presumably with downloadable themes. Trouble is, we'd just end up with a range of glistening alien skins, all of which would detract from the image we were working on... I think this is one case where the interface is best left up to Adobe! I like the colourful second entry box shot - interesting technique. And I really like the lettering in the third entry - but you need to watch the reflection of that paint can! The bottom of the can needs to sit flush on the top of the reflection! A simple but rather beautiful box show from Ben Mills, using elegant design rather than flashy concepts. Wouldn't you rotate the lettering inside the diamond, though? I enjoyed Josephine Harvatt's Discworld tribute, but not being a Terry Pratchett fan myself, I didn't get any of the in-jokes... so the Discworld series is kind of like a medieval Harry Potter, right? (Ducks to avoid flying crockery) A truly large CS6 box from Jota120, looming out of the water in an Irish landscape. But Trevor, surely immersion in water would void the warranty? Well, Eva Roth certainly knows the way to my heart... an iPad-compatible version of Photoshop! Not that my iPad has arrived yet, though, in Europe we still have a week to wait. I like the 3D cubes for the panels - cute idea. There doesn't seem to be a lot of room for the image we're working on, though! A rather beautiful translucent box from Deborah Morley, whose effect is strengthened by the way it refracts the background. I like the Plastic Wrap treatment of the back, and the subtle embossing work. The DVD itself looks a little out of character, though: is it the angle? Or the position within the box? There's something now quite right there, but it's hard to put my finger on it. A very appealing box from laddition, using the old Illustrator feather and a very fine paint palette. I like the lettering, and the barcode; all that it needs is some text on the side of the box. Great reflection! |

Thanks Steve. Have distorted the CD, don't know if it's better now or not. What a difference the summer makes to waking up relatively 'early'! Wayne, I really like your banner. Have a great weekend all.  |

Thanks Steve "A great box shot" - Hmmm does it look like a photo? If so, that's a real compliment considering it was all created from scratch. Nick |

Re: Challenge 300: Photoshop CS6
Thank you Steve. I enjoyed doing this one very much.
I thought it was appropriate to use the Greek letters due to the connection of the Rosetta Stone which was written in Ancient Greek and Hieroglyphs. Archaelogists used the Greek text to translate the Hieroglyphs and were able to decipher what the symbols actually meant. _________________ Wicked Witch of the West: I'm melting! I'm melting! |

Re: Challenge 300: Photoshop CS6
The marching ants solution seemed natural, else how would it know what to render? You have to think like the magical elves inside the computer. _________________ Is it necessary? Does it work? |
