Pirated Photoshop carries badness

“Mac trojan horse discovered in pirated Photoshop,” reports Macworld.  Yeah, well, what can I say?  I’m just mentioning it an an FYI (and so that everyone can stop sending me variations on the link ;-)).

New Pixel Bender bits

• Pixel Bender engineering manager Kevin Goldsmith rounds up a whole set of PB experiments. David Lenaerts’s smoke sim makes me long to reinvent what it means to paint in Photoshop.
• Brooks Andrus shows off the performance of Pixel Bender in Flash Player 10, letting you choose from a set of filters to run on video in real time.
• Adobe evangelist Paul Burnett demonstrates how to use PB filters in Flash.
• And, of course, there’s still time to enter the NVIDIA-sponsored Pixel Bender creation contest.
