Manic Monday (ooo-wee-ooo.. I wish it was Sunday)
I thought I would use Monday to give my pick of what has come to my attention over the weekend.
My Quest
I have been trying to find someone, anyone, that has used the content aware scaling in a real world situation. Only one so far, for resizing a photo to a standard print size. Is that the only use for this enhancement? Drop me a note if you have found another use, and used it!
Things to Do
PlanetPhotoshop, the home of Corey Barker, have a forum that runs a Friendly Tutorial Challenge starting on Sundays. This week is making a textured photo frame. Really nice use of an alpha channel.
Speaking of Mr Barker, a video of his was posted at Layers Magazine.com, 3D Reflections on Video

Tutorials
AdobeTutorialz posted a great tutorial called The Amazing Spiderman. Not the most useful of tutorials for the final image, but the techniques used are very well explained and worth a look through.
