Adobe Photoshop Tip– Comic Art Effect — Photoshop Action

12097996 c3fc0f4a9e 300x126 Adobe Photoshop Tip   Comic Art Effect    Photoshop ActionIf you enjoyed our Comic Art Effect tutorial, you’ll love The MacMerc.com Comic Art Effect Photoshop Action — all the fun of the original, with much less work for you.

The effect is slightly different than the one detailed in the written tutorial and had to be dumbed down for automation’s sake. But, I think you will agree, it still looks pretty slick. Download it and give it a shot. It should work with Adobe Photoshop 7 and above for Mac (or even PC). If you have any trouble post a comment below.

GarageBand 4.1.2 and Aperture 2.0.1 updates posted

GarageBand 20080303 200335 GarageBand 4.1.2 and Aperture 2.0.1 updates postedIf you’re an Aperture 2 user, you’ll probably want to summon Software Update or directly download the Aperture 2.0.1 Update that Apple released today. The update addresses performance issues and overall stability while also fixing some other minor issues. Is that vague enough for you? If you’re really interested in what has changed, Apple has posted details online.

Apple has also posted a GarageBand update that brings the iLife app to version 4.1.2. Like the Aperture update, this one improves stability but it also addresses issues with the automation of software instrument parameters, FireWire and USB based audio devices and Magic GarageBand–a lot of improvements by the sounds of it.

Updates are available online as well as from Software Update.
