Emulating Photoshop Filters

So then… I’m late! I’m always late…

I have been away from a com­puter for the past two weeks, enjoying a well earned rest — and so, I have not been posting to the blog, for which, the usual ten thou­sand apo­lo­gies (I tend to break my new year’s res­ol­u­tions — had you guessed)!

I was not entirely without a com­puter, but I did have to sur­vive without any internet access, which was indes­crib­ably dif­fi­cult, as you would ima­gine (some­what worse even than being deprived of coffee). Sub­sequently, I cannot post here the breaking news that Pho­toshop Light­room 2 has been released. Unfor­tu­nately for me, that actu­ally happened, and my thunder was duly stolen. Next week I will post a round-up of the learning resources avail­able, that I believe are most worthy of your atten­tion (promise!).

Still, I have not been entirely neg­li­gent since my last post! I have been reading, watching tutorial DVDs, and working on new tech­niques — and you can expect to see reviews and tutorials pop­ping up over the next few weeks.

One of the things that I read may be of interest to some of you, and so I thought that I would post a link to the PDF on the site.

I have been looking into the pro­cess of writing custom fil­ters (one of the tech­niques that I am working on depends upon a filter that does not exist in Pho­toshop — I hate it when that hap­pens!), and dis­covered a research paper — by Corbett Brown — that provides a really good grounding into the whole pro­cess of cre­ating fil­ters. What’s even better, is that the paper describes how some of the existing Pho­toshop fil­ters actu­ally work.

Sure, this one is only for the geeks — but I know that you’re out there! Go and read it now — you can thank me later : )
