Finally there is a new show! This time I tackle an image shot at the airport here in Bremen. Before that I tell a bit about the dangers of being a teacher, an online paint program written in HTML5, content aware fill in TheOtherProgram and my new job in Berlin. I am looking for a flat there, by the way. The image from the Hamburg train station I had planed to process turned out to be marred by ...

This week I visit a vineyard in Missouri (too bad - only via HTTP) and discuss the dangers of blowing out the highlights under overcast sky.

You’ll see an other way to rotate an image, two ways to blend different versions of an image with a layer mask and a bit more about curves. I got this as a result. Edit: Look also at the next show. I made a big blunder in this one and had to fix it in the next. I promise...
