Free 7-day Online Class Adobe Photoshop CS3 Public Beta Preview

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

The National Association of Photoshop Professionals NAPP is giving away free 7-day online class on the Adobe Photoshop CS3 public beta preview.

Adobe recently released a public beta version of the Photoshop CS3. The beta is available as a Universal Binary for the Macintosh platform, as well as for Microsoft® Windows® XP and Windows Vista computers. The final shipping release of Adobe Photoshop CS3 is planned for Spring 2007. The software can be downloaded at http://labs.adobe.com.

One particular feature I like with the new Photoshop CS3 is the  Camera RAW support.  Yes CS2 already had Camera RAW support but CS3 takes  it a notch higher. It now supports adjustment of jpg’s within Camera RAW!  How cool is that!? (more…)

Beyond Frames by Artists-Photographers at OWG

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Good artists follow the rules of art. Those who break them and take their artistry out of the box are better.

The essence of the second premise come in marvelous display as 7 artists-photographers stage a collaborative photography exhibit at OWG appropriately titled “Beyond Frames.” Images created through the exploration of the mind and camera as medium of expression fill up Galleries 1 and 2 of OWG, promising a rich harvest for art collectors and aficionados alike.

Purely expressing their thoughts and emotions, the featured artists take the art of photography in free flow beauty, bounded by no rules.
Names that resonate visual artistry beyond what is usually seen:
ROSS CAPILI , ESTAN CABIGAS, PARC CRUZ, JEFF CUA, LUIS HARDER, LEX KABIGTING, and BORJ MENESES.

They all took their imagination to the deepest recesses of the mind and softest spots of the heart to produce artworks stretching possibilities and poetry in vision.

Each of their art pieces is printed on fine art paper that makes use of archival material to last for more than a century. Acid-free mounting and framing makes the framed images even more worth-collecting.

Described as a fine art show with a heart, this exhibit is mounted to benefit the World Vision Development Foundation. This means the said Foundation gets part of the proceeds to help out to the needy especially this Christmas. Thus, the 7 artists, aside from opening new horizons in bringing their artistry to unfounded frontier, have willingly opened their hearts to reach out to other people this Yuletide season.

“Beyond Frames” formally opens at OWG with a cocktail party on December 21,  6:30 pm.

The exhibit runs till January 6, 2007.

OWG, one of the topnotch state-of-the-art gallery/studios in town, is located at 2241 La Fuerza Plaza II Don Chino Roces Avenue cor. Sabio St. , Makati City.
