The many sliders of Photoshop CS4

Sunday, 8th November at 01:29pm

Preferences —> Memory Usage

Adjustments —> Brightness/Contrast

Filters

Blur (note the rendering of the thumb arrow)

Layer Blending

Layer Style

Threshold

Color Balance

Things to keep in mind:

  1. These can be found in just Photoshop; I can’t imagine what I’d find elsewhere in the suite. Actually, fine, here’s the first one I found in Illustrator CS5:

  3. They’re all ugly. The only near-acceptable one is the Layer Style slider.
  4. None of these looks like the standard OS X slider:

Tuesday, 6th October at 08:09am

Sometimes, you just have to laugh. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that many companies choose to employ photocopiers rather than designers (apparently all the cool kids are doing it).

Here’s the ‘new’ and aptly named HP Envy 13:

Samsung Innards Exposed

Wednesday, 30th September at 05:59pm

Well, looks like my D900i has bit the dust. Upon turning it on I’m now greeted with a highly useful black screen. Orange aren’t up for doing anything to help (surprise, surprise) so I took matters into my own geeky, phillips 0 wielding hands.
