What’s that Flickr-ing across your Mug? Mugshot, of course!

138816941 9b1b9f5413 m Whats that Flickr ing across your Mug? Mugshot, of course!If you’re anything like us (and we pray that you aren’t for your sake!), you post a lot of images to Flickr from your Cameraphone. And as much as we love the Web2.0/AJAX-y goodness of the Yahoo-owned photo site, we miss the nifty interface of iPhoto.

To the rescue comes Blake Seely, with Mugshot, an iPhoto-like desktop application for managing your Flickr photos. Looking for a replacement for Flickr’s web interface? Want to drag, drop, and copy instead of clicking on links? Want to see thousands of photos in a single, scrolllable view? Download Mugshot today!

ALAP Releases InEffects 1.0.1 Update for InDesign CS2

A Lowly Apprentice Production announced today an update of InEffects for Adobe InDesign. InEffects is the first plug-in of it’s kind for Adobe InDesign that brings the special effects power of an image editing program directly to InDesign. This free update adds support for the Adobe InDesign CS2 and also serves as a maintenance update which addresses know issues in the previous version.

InEffects saves designers time and money by eliminating the need to switch back and forth between programs in effort to add that special effect to their page layout. By expanding InDesign’s built-in special effects, users can obtain sophisticated drop shadows, inner shadows, inner glows, outer glows, bevels and embosses all 100% compatible with InDesign’s transparency feature.

InEffects 1.0.1 is currently available for Apple Macintosh System 9.1 or higher and requires Adobe InDesign 2.0.2 or later. InEffects 1.0.1 is priced at USD$99.99. To purchase, contact ALAP, Inc. by phone at 888-818-5790 (US), 760-438-5790 (International) or on the web.

Our Comic Art Effect becomes an Action adventure

Due in no small part to the wildly popular Comic Life application for making comic pages out of your images, our own Comic Art Effect tutorial has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence.

Lance McCord found the tutorial via a link on LifeHacker and contacted me about producing a Photoshop Action to produce the effect. Well, I’m here to announce and make available just that…

The MacMerc.com Comic Art Effect Photoshop Action.

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 drop me a line after reading the FAQs and the caveats of the original effect.

Note:Thanks also to summer2005 for the link to the original tutorial on digg.
