Removing Purple Fringing in Photoshop

Filed under: Adobe Photoshop — Buddy Toups @ 5:46 am

Purple fringing occurs depending on your camera’s senor technology (most consumer cameras do create purple fringing), the quality of your camera’s lens, and contrasting edges in your shot. Chromatic aberration is the more technical name for purple fringing which is not always purple. There are three ways you can avoid purple fringing: put an Ultraviolet (UV) filter on your camera lens, buy better camera (Prosumer grade), or remove it in Photoshop.

Sun Buys MySQL for One Billion

Filed under: MySQL, Technology, Web Development — Buddy Toups @ 5:57 am

MySQL Logo

The latest technology news, besides MacBook AIR, is the Sun / MySQL buyout. This sounds like it can be great for the MySQL community, but is also quite scary. Sun has lots of money, resources and influences in the enterprise marketplace. This could mean faster, better, and more stable development efforts to the behind MySQL Server. MySQL 5 already has introduced enterprise additions like triggers, stored procedures, foreign key constraints, views, etc. and is used by Google and Facebook. But with this double edge sword Sun could keep all the latest and greatest under commercial license products only. I don’t think they would because that is what has made MySQL so great and the reason for buying MySQL AB.

Give Up On Vista Ad

Apple Inc.'s Web Ad 'Give Up On Vista'

URL where it was found: http://www.cnet.com/windows-vista.html

This is about the funniest web ad I’ve ever seen. This is one of the latest Apple Inc. ads that rubs Mac OS X Leopard success in Microsoft’s face. Many OEMs/PC manufactures have recently start offering customers the choice of Windows XP or Windows Vista pre-installed on their new computer.

The irony about this ad is the ad program on CNET must of pickup on the keyword Vista and is now running the ad on CNET’s main Microsoft Windows Vista main page.

My New Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo

Filed under: Apple Related, Microsoft Related, Technology — Buddy Toups @ 5:31 am

I just bought the new mac mini 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB stock RAM. Its a very nice machine fast and responsive. The thing I really love about the new macs with Intels is the freedom to test a Windows only browser at near native speeds. I hated Virtual PC but thats the only way I could test my website designs but now Mac Intel with Parallels software its so easy and fast. Even with Firefox and Safari gaining market share, the majority of web surfers still use Windows with Internet Explorer and developers / designers should always thoroughly test this platform.
