Academy and Emmy Award-winning software developer Boris FX is dipping its toes in the world of still photography with “Optics”: a new standalone application and plugin suite that brings some of the company’s feature film visual effects to the world of photo editing.

It’s honestly hard to tell what Optics is primarily meant to do, because it does so much.

Adobe Adds ‘Refine Edge’ Brush to Photoshop on the iPad

This post is by DL Cade from PetaPixel

Adobe continues to update and improve Photoshop on the iPad. The December update brought Subject Select, February was Object Select, May brought Curves and Pen Pressure Sensitivity, and today’s update adds another very important selection tool: the Refine Edge brush.

Adobe has quietly released some critical security updates to Photoshop, Bridge, and Prelude that you need to install ASAP. If you don’t have auto-updates turned on for Adobe Creative Cloud, you’ll want to jump in and update the apps manually right away.

According to the cyber security site ThreatPost, yesterday’s Creative Cloud updates weren’t just bug fixes, and Adobe’s update log description as “Security Updates” doesn’t tell the full story.

In fact, it seems that Mat Powell, a researcher with Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative, found a total of 12 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) across Adobe Photoshop, Adobe

At the time, I was happy with what it did, but the author had a security scheme that forced you to log into the app every couple of weeks, which I thought was burdensome and downright silly.
