DiapoSheet creates contact sheets of your images. It has a host of features for a new application (currently at v. 1.1) and does a very good job of providing the functions it intends to. It is relatively easy to manipulate, customize, and fine-tune to your needs. While a bit more pricey than one may wish, it is worth the money.

Harry Shearer3675
Harry Shearer is a busy guy. When he's not doing hilarious work in films like This Is Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind, he's producing Le Show, his weekly radio...er...show. In addition to that, he recently finished his directorial debut, Teddy Bears' Picnic (which he also wrote), composes music and musicals, and can regularly be spotted on TV and has appeared in over sixty films. Whew. Oh, and he uses Macs. But you probably guessed that by now

Extensis Intellihance1733
Extensis Intellihance can do an amazingly great job at enhancing a photo. By using its Quick Enhance, one can easily and quickly bring an image to easily acceptable qualities. While it doesn't replace knowing how to do such repairs within Photoshop, it can successfully sidestep such knowledge--to a point.

Xenofex 22299
This collection of 14 filters for Photoshop, Elements, and Fireworks (see specific Requirements above) are just plain fun. Some are silly while others are (arguably) useful. There are enough "fine-tune" abilities to make the anal happy while the basic setup can make the lazy satisfied.

he Big Box of Art2926
The big Box of Art is a collection of clip-art for open and free use. The collection is searchable in a database of image thumbnails for (relatively) easy discovery and covers a significant variety of subjects. Although a great value, the whole package leaves a few things to be considered.

Al Lowe; creator of Leisure Suit Larry2440
One of my favorite Applelinks Moofie Awards categories is the Lifetime Achievement Award. In May of 2001, we presented this award to Al Lowe, creator of Leisure Suit Larry and all around fantastic guy. I had the opportunity to hold two hiliarous phone conversations with Al, and I'm pleased to be able to post those interviews here again in our new iConversations column.

[Repost] Lords of the Rhymes; Hobbits, rap, and the Macintosh3215
Applelinks is pleased to announce a new section of our website: iConversations. Here, we'll post interviews conducted with various artists, developers and all around decent folk who use the Macintosh to enrich our lives and, more importantly, to make themselves a little money. To kick off the column, here's a repost of Bill Stiteler's recent interview with rappers Lords of the Rhymes.
Mystical Lighting2197
I thought Mystical Lighting would be all about dynamic effects. When reading about the software, I had visions of Boris Vallejo and Jonathon Earl Bowser paintings in my head. Yes, there are effects in here that can provide such imagery (provided you've got the talent to create the artwork to which you will apply the effects), but quite a few of the effects included are much more subtle and useful on a day to day basis.

What goes into creating the musical score and ambient music that we listen to each time we load up our favorite games? To find out, I chatted with Michael Beckett of Nuclear Kangaroo Music, composer of the music for Pangea Software's Nanosaur and Bugdom.

Self-Publishing with the Macintosh and iUniverse.com4127
Print-on-demand (or, as the self-important yet slightly embarrassed crowd calls it, "author-driven publishing™") is kind of the literary equivalent of MP3, I guess, as it makes novel publishing accessible to those who otherwise would be stuck handing out heaping manuscripts in three ring binders to their friends and family.

I've had a chance to talk to Adobe folks about the switch to the CC and why they dropped the perpetual license. For the most part, Adobe claims they were caught off guard by how people gravitated to the CC. While they didn't provide actual numbers, they did claim the vast majority of people who upgraded did not purchase CS6. Rather, they bought into the CC. Adobe started preparing CS7, but at a certain point they realized that the cost of preparing two versions of the same software—one that would be updated and one that would not—was going to not be a wise use of their resources. Ergo, drop the less popular option.
