Posted on March 8, 2012 by admin

We wrote about the upcoming Angry Birds Space previously , but Rovio today released a new trailer for the upcoming bird vs. pig game. The trailer features a demonstration of weightlessness and gravity by NASA astronaut Don Pettit, recorded on board the International Space Station — something that will be key in the actual game. At the end of the trailer, we also see our first gameplay footage.

Adobe Releases Photoshop Lightroom 4, Slashes Price in Half to $149

Posted on March 6, 2012 by admin

Adobe today announced the immediate release of Photoshop Lightroom 4 , bringing a number of new features and a lower price tag to the company’s professional photo management and manipulation software. Lightroom 4 introduces refined technology for superior shadow and highlight processing, ability to create photo books, additional local adjustment controls, and enhanced video support. “Feedback from our customers is invaluable in developing Lightroom and the real trick to a great release is to combine these insights with Adobe’s unrivalled image processing innovation,” said Winston Hendrickson, vice president products, Creative Media Solutions, Adobe. “Lightroom 4 is a stunning new release that will enhance photography workflows and help photographs stand out from the crowd.” Photoshop Lightroom 4 was released as a public beta just under two months ago, and Adobe has made several additional improvements since that time. With the release of Lightroom 4, Adobe has slashed the application’s price in half to $149, presumably responding to Apple’s price cut on Aperture that saw it drop to just $79 when it moved to the Mac App Store with that marketplace’s debut in January 2011. Pricing for Student/Teacher and Upgrade editions of Lightroom 4 is set at $79, with the Upgrade edition valid for any previous version of Lightroom. Continue reading →

With Refine Edge, use your fingertip to capture even hard-to-select image elements, like hair, with ease. – Search and acquire images with the integrated Google Image Search. – Share images on Facebook and view comments right within the app. – Browse an inspirational gallery for the styles and results you’d like to achieve. Then follow step-by-step tutorials to easily learn techniques the pros use for great-looking results. – Use AirPrint for wireless printing of Photoshop Touch projects. – Upload projects to Adobe Creative Cloud* and open layered files from Adobe Photoshop Touch in Photoshop CS5. – Maximum image resolution: 1600 x 1600 pixels The launch is believed to have been a mistake and is expected to officially launch on Monday for $9.99 in the U.S. It will be compatible with the iPad 2 only.
