Ever wondered who all those people are in that Photoshop startup page? I’m weird, so yes, I did. Luckily, Adobe’s Photoshop Youtube channel has this gem. It’s a ‘candid glimpse inside product development’, but despite that dry description, it’s actually quite interesting, if you’re semi-techy. And if I’m honest, I discovered a few Photoshop features I wasn’t aware of too.

I’d love to see a proper “who do you think you are” style mini-doco on these guys outside of the product focus. In a world of vacuous celebrity / reality shows, it would be a nice change to celebrate and discover more about people who actually have an impact on our lives every day.

Ever wondered what happens when you cut an LCD screen with a knife? Probably not, but I did. Luckily, I managed to get hold of a damaged monitor and I seized the chance…

NOTE 1: The monitor had a fault anyway, it was due to be thrown out.
NOTE 2: DON’T TRY THIS YOURSELF! It’s pretty dumb.
NOTE 3: The weird effect seen on parts of the screen is due to a polarising film covering the entire screen. Under that is the LCD layer and under that, a hard plastic layer with light behind it.
NOTE 4: The ‘Liquid Crystal’ wasn’t really liquid. Nothing got wet. Bit disappointed.

Thanks to Jop for the camera work!
