The Graphic Reporter's Tip of the Week

On last night's show I talked about how to turn a photo into a creative color cartoon. Hope you enjoy the tutorial half as much as I enjoyed coming up with the technique :)

Be sure to check out my review of the Olympus Evolt-330 too. More on this wonderful camera soon!

And finally, if you're in Calgary I'd love to hear from you as I'll be there Monday night through Friday afternoon. Cheers!

Photoshop plug-in makes color correction a breeze

By Lesa Snider King

Pros: SmartColor technology makes color correction easy; ordered tools produce optimal results; plug-in window can be positioned next to Photoshop document for side-by-side comparison.

Cons: Multiple SmartColor options can be confusing.

Party Poker Recognizes Macs With Beta
You may have remembered my previous story about Party Poker potentially coming to the Mac. Well it's arrived in beta form.

We're getting a Java based program and that may be why Party Poker kept denying they were coming out with a Mac version. While Java is not native it still works perfectly on most browsers including working on a Mac.

For awhile there it looked like they were going to follow Fulltiltpoker.com and their native software but I guess it's not the case.

After testing the beta there are a lot of things they are working on. The graphics were superb but some minor glitches were found. All that can be expected in a beta.

Play money games are available right now but real money is not. It will be once the beta gets straightened out and they launch the full version.

They have hidden the download source from the homepage viewers but will most likely link up the no download version when beta testing is over. In the news story we did you can find where to download the beta.

Here is the full story about Party Poker for Macintosh .

The Show!
Welcome back Circus Ponies! Catch them at the NECC.

Yes, yes, the show wouldn't exist without Shawn in all his doofusness and his amazing ability to multi-task, J to do the great video work that he does and push all the right buttons, Peter, our gaming guru, Lesa with all her graphics tips and me to uh, well do whatever it is that I do (and when the airconditioning dies in studio, we can't even do that)....

....but the show truly wouldn't exist without our wonderful listeners and the great sponsors and advertisers that we have: Griffin Technology, Radtech, Circus Ponies, Digital Forest and the folks at iStockPhoto.com.

Tonight, before we were so rudely interrupted by air conditioning failure, we were going to announce that Circus Ponies has renewed as an advertiser for another year and we're thrilled to have them continue to be part of the Your Mac Life family. To Jayson, Elizabeth (in absentia as she embarks on her writing career) and everyone at Circus Ponies, we thank you!

For those of you attending the National Educational Computing Conference or NECC in San Diego, CA from July 5 through to July 7, please stop by Circus Ponies' booth (#133) and say hi to the great folks manning their booth (Jayson will be the really busy guy losing his voice) and take the time, if you can, to learn more about their great program "Notebook" and to thank them for their support of Your Mac Life. We'd appreciate it and I know that they would love to meet some more of our listeners.

Tonight's Show Cancelled :(
Sorry folks.....the air conditioning is broken in our studio...it's over 95 degrees in here and we are having brownouts that are screwing with our gear. We're worried something is going to get fried if we don't turn it all off.

We've called the AC folks but they won't get here until tomorrow....

Our apologies for the inconvenience.
