Alien Skin Bokeh – give your photographs that professional look
Have you ever looked at a photograph in a magazine or in a newspaper and think to yourself – ” How do they achieve that awesome out of focus background and make that person stand out so much?” . The real answer is that professional photographers buy lenses with very large apertures that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Now for most of us, that seems like a lot of money to spend on a lens and that’s even if we have a digital SLR camera.Fortunately a company called Alien Skin Software has invented a plugin for Photoshop that will achieve these professional looking effects without you having to spend an arm and a leg on equipment. The plugin is called Bokeh.

Many mac users still use some windows applications on a regular basis. Unfortunately, unless a certain price is paid, you have to reboot your computer into windows just to use the one, small application that you want to.

Using Windows on your Mac with VMware Fusion
Are you a Windows user who recently switched to a Mac but for some reason misses having your old operating system? Probably not, but what if you would like to use a Windows operating system on your Mac and have it run at a lightning fast speed? No, I’m not talking about Boot Camp. Rather, VMware Fusion is the right product to use. Its compatibility and simplicity make this application one of the best virtual machine applications in the market.
