You hot-shot movie cutters out there should get a load out of this. Adobe’s research laboratory has been hard at work at an ingenious video-object manipulation system. The system gives video editors all sorts of power with nearly no rendering lag. The demonstration below shows an editor selecting the outside of a yellow cab and affixing the word "taxi" to it as he careens throughout the frame. The text knows not to leave the confines of the car. Sound confusing? Watch the video and be enlightened.

Adobe offers no word as to when this tech will show itself in a consumer product though. Also, this would be great for blackmailing politicians.

A group of enterprising individuals have an ongoing project to show us what Photoshop would look like if the UI was rendered in real life. Above is the first fruit of their labor. The display is tangible and was not created by computer graphics. No Photoshops were harmed in the making of this photo. Click here for a Flickr gallery of how it was created.

YES!!! Photoshop is the greatest. Let me tell you why – so i found this neat little article on the World Wide Web that told you about this cool looking boat (pictured above) that could circumvent the globe in 5 days or something to that effect. Anyway, as i tried to pull the picture from the Internet website, it thwarted my attempts to save it to my desktop in a usable, sharable format (JPEG). So, clever me, I opened my "bread and butter" program – photoshop, and saved it as a JPEG and thus my efforts to share this wonderful, and entertaining story was rewarded.

whew! I’m tired….i’ll tell you the story about this boat some other time. 

While it’s still a teaser at the moment, John Nack (Senior Product Manager for Photoshop) has confirmed the development of Photoshop Express. It’s a free online photo editor that’s not meant to replace Adobe’s current offerings, but "make Adobe imaging technology immediately accessible way to large numbers of people." And from the screenshot here you can tell it’s not even a dumbed down Photoshop, but an entirely new product. Which is good news to me becuase I love free stuff.
