    Writing multi-layer masked PSD files

    I've searched the web and can't seem to find any source code for writing PSD files. It seems to me someone has done this before but I just can't seem to find out how to do it. Any ideas on where to look? TIA Buckey

    How to stitch images to make panoramas?

    I get great results from PTMac which is a front end for PanoTools and it is OS X native. It has a bit of a learning curve but it has the best interpolators available and can save as masked PSD files so you can adjust the seams wherever you want and you don't loose any image info. Got a half...

    Final Cut Pro 4, DVD Studio Pro 2 and Shake 3

    I wonder if these updates will work best with the *new* IBM 970's? August may be about right for evertying to gel. Delayed WDC, August video programs,.... Hmmm, you gotta wonder.

    former mac user afraid

    Well, as far as switching, I gave my sister my old iMac loaded with OS X at Christmas time. Sure it runs relatively slow being a G3 233 but from her point of view it is great. All she needs if for is to download photos from her Coolpix camera, save them to a CD or send them to be printed to...

    IBM gives vision for future Macs

    IMHO the biggest advantage this chip has is that it will have a bus speed of 900MHZ. Right now the max bus speed on a G4 is 167MHZ. Go ahead, reduce the cache size to save money. If Apple can make such a leap in bus speed, we will be far better off.

    Well, somebody at Apple has a sense of humor. The version of the System.framework version for OS X.2 given by System Profiler is 3.1415926535897932846 i.e. the value of pi.

    The Jaguar Bugs Thread

    If you don't give a bundle an icon, it should show as the generic App icon. Also, now when you build a bundle in the new Project Builder (with August update), the bundle *is* a folder and you only need double click on it to see inside.

    where to put shared library?

    I have a library I need to share between two applications - my application and will also be callable by a Photoshop plug-in. Where is the best place to put the library? I think Apple wants us to stay out of /system/library/extensions and I want to stay out of there so the user doesn't need...

    What is the best way to backup/mirror data?

    Ok. I have a hard drive named Macintosh-HD (original eh?) and I want to back it up to my Kekus drive which is a new replacement drive as my Mac-HD is beginning to fail. The source drive has OS 9 files and a system on it. Should the ditto command be: sudo ditto -rsrc Macintosh-HD Kekus...

    iBook and OsX?

    Ditto the above post. I have an iBook 500 and OS X runs fine on it. In fact I chose the iBook over the Titanium laptop because at the time the Ti book couldn't burn CDs. That has changed now but I have no regrets.

    Wanted: Linux porting tutorial

    I have a Linux program I'd like to port to OS X but don't know how. Does anyone know where I can find a step by step tutorial for porting Linux applications. The programmer uses the Gnu compiler for the Linux and Windows versions. I believe that Gnu is also the compiler for OS X? The author...
