Now we'll begin a new section covering paint brush dynamics, a set of features that help to make the Paint Engine in Photoshop 7 far superior to anything seen in Photoshop previously for creating custom brushes for emulating "natural" media (as if chemical-based paints were any more natural than digital paint tools). Weekly Download: Paint Patches for Studio Artist 2.0 <http://www.creativemac.com/cgi-bin/getframeletter.cgi?/2002/11_nov/features /download4021101.htm> Image processing and brush presets by David Nagel This week's free software download takes us into an area probably new to a lot of you--Studio Artist from Synthetik Software. Studio Artist is a painting, rotoscoping and animation package with probably the most sophisticated and versatile paint engine available. Our package this week includes 55 presets for this application covering image processing and drawing tools. <http://ads.digitalmedianet.com/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=452&mod e=CLICK&name=747> Interactive QuickTime Authoring, Part 2 <http://www.creativemac.com/cgi-bin/getframeletter.cgi?/2002/11_nov/features /ishell021104.htm> iShell, therefore iAm by Kevin Schmitt Welcome to Part 2 of our Interactive QuickTime Authoring series (as I now belatedly realize the title already told you). From now until we just don't feel like doing it anymore, we're going to spotlight various programs from various vendors that use QuickTime in some way or other to help developers author their interactive projects. Envelope Distortion in Adobe Illustrator <http://www.creativemac.com/cgi-bin/getframeletter.cgi?/2002/10_oct/tutorial s/illenvdist021029.htm> Using custom distortion objects to create a crumple effect by David Nagel Today we break from our adventure in freeform painting and stop over for a quiet visit in the more genteel realm of vector illustration. And by that I mean Adobe Illustrator country, where a line is a line and a fill is a fill, and nothing unexpected ever happens that can't be undone ... or so folks around these parts would like you to believe. But does Illustrator country have a dark, messy secret these genteel folks are trying to cover up in order to maintain orderly appearances? Weekly Download: More Custom Brushes for Photoshop 7 <http://www.creativemac.com/cgi-bin/getframeletter.cgi?/2002/10_oct/features /download4021025.htm> Charcoal, chalk, conte and crayon by David Nagel Response to our first series of brushes for Adobe Photoshop 7 was so positive that I couldn't help but create a second set. Rather than focusing on specific applicators, as I did in the previous series, this week I decided to create a set of brushes (Nagel Series 2 Brushes) that hopefully do a decent job of emulating some of my favorite natural media: charcoal, chalk, conte crayon and wax crayon. <http://ads.digitalmedianet.com/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=76&mode =CLICK&name=1134> <http://ads.digitalmedianet.com/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=77&mod e=CLICK&name=1169> <http://ads.digitalmedianet.com/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=78&mod e=CLICK&name=940> <http://ads.digitalmedianet.com/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=546&slot =1> <http://ads.digitalmedianet.com/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=550&mo de=CLICK&name=796> Advertising Send email to: DMN Sales <mailto:sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=Mac%20Alert%20newsletter%20ads> Upcoming Trade Shows Are we missing a trade show in the Mac Industry?
