Is it real, or is it ILM?

As you may know, Photoshop co-creator John Knoll has been a visual effects supervisor at Industrial Light and Magic for many years.  (My friend Phil says, "It’s a little intimidating to use Photoshop in front of one of the guys who wrote it."  I know your pain, man.) Now ILM has produced a beautiful Flash piece showcasing their work on the latest Pirates of the Caribbean, detailing some of the processes & techniques that bring scenes and creatures to life. [Via]
