I don’t about you guys, but I would give 10 years of my life to spend 10 days on a deluxe private yacht surrounded by 20 beautiful well gifted women drinking the finest champaign while the sun spoils us somewhere on forgotten tropical island. Read the rest of this entry →
What the hell is wrong with this guy? You might ask.
Well, apparently there’s nothing wrong with me. It seems that my favorite picture viewer has a problem.
It occurred to me when I was trying to watch a picture a friend of mine e-mailed the other day. So, I downloaded the picture from my e-mail account then double click it to see it. BIG disappointment! All colors were messed up, like somehow they were the opposite of what they originally were.
For example: the skin was displayed blue-ish. See the picture.
First I thought that the file became corrupted upon download (a possibility hard to came across, but since I’m a “lucky” person…). After that I notice that Windows Explorer was displaying correctly the picture (in Thumbnail View). Then I tried to open the picture with Windows Picture Viewer and I saw that the picture was displayed correct. Hmm…
Next I put my power toys in action. I opened the file with Adobe Bridge and saw that the color profile (mode) was CMYK.
The problem is that Picasa can’t display correctly pictures in CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black) color mode. Therefore if you intend to watch / use pictures in CMYK mode you might reconsider your picture viewer. Or you can convert them to RGB (Red Green Blue) mode.
The conversion can be done in Adobe Photoshop via “Edit – Convert to profile” option. Then choose “Adobe RGB (1998)“.
Of course, this solution can be done with ease if you only have a few pictures to work with, but if you have hundreds…
Visual acuity (VA) is acuteness or clearness of vision, especially form vision, which is dependent on the sharpness of the retinal focus within the eye and the sensitivity of the interpretative faculty of the brain.

Stay out of this! Today came in my highly assaulted email account this… mail notification.
You know what bothers me? Is that a twisted P.O.S. tries to make advantage of this bloody economical crisis by sending mass emails in which is advertised a “Vacant Post“. I don’t understand why some prick out there tries to catch some fishes when even a 10 years old child could spot the net from a mile away…
If you’re not new to GTA you must agree with me that GTA IV could’ve been even better.
It would’ve been uber cool if they continued San Andreas’s idea. I’m not talking about environment (including map size) or storyline. I’m talking about the large variety of vehicle that you could drive, paint and tune.
Ok. As unprofessional it may sound it represents the best the problems I encountered in Photoshop CS4. First of all I should explain the problem. I have installed on my system the entire Adobe Creative Suite 4. My system consists in: WinXP Professional 32bit with SP3 installed 2Gb RAM Ati HD3870 – drivers up to [...]
Ok. This might seem a little awkward, but there are some times when nothing seems to work properly. In my case, Adobe’s Creative Suite 3. My problem Was that with Adobe CS3 installed and working I ran Adobe Photoshop CS4 Portable. When I first open the Photoshop CS4 .exe file I received an error stating [...]
