it rarely happens but sometimes i am like shoot, I wish I did have a mac. well this happened to me when i saw this program called pixelmator, its interface looks so cute and colourful how could one resist it. that even my sister would be all over it.

What it is it’s Photoshop made simple and stylish (the new cs3 has nice looks to but more in a prof way) it has all the basic editing tools you might need, like: layers, painting tools, retouching tools, type tools, colour correction, etc.
so if you do have a mac. well your in luck! as you can download a free trail (full version is only like 60 dollars). some more screen after the jump

I ran into something interesting today as I was looking on the interwebs. a technique called seam carving, which is a algorithm that resizes and crops in a intelligent way.
it looks at which parts in the image are important and which parts contain less useful information and it scales(removes) that part of the image while preserving the important parts.
