Daz Productions is making the 5.5 version of its 3D modelling and annimation software, Bryce available to anyone, for free.
The 3D landscape creation application is available in both PC and Intel-based Mac versions. This is not the first time Daz Productions released one of the Bryce versions for free. Same thing happened for version 5.
Bryce 5.5 is a great application for 3D landscape and general scene creation, suitable for both newbies and pros. The integration into the Bryce world is helped by a large community of Bryce users, with years of tips and tutorials on the Web available to speed up the learning curve, which complement the related 3D content products provided by DAZ.
You also have the possibility to upgrade, for a small price to the current Bryce version, 6.1.
More information is available on the DAZ website.

This Photoshop tutorial will teach you how to remove acne spots from a photo.
1. First open your photo which you want to cure the acne on.
2. Next, click on your “Healing Brush Tool” 
and set your brush to the size of 5px for this tutorial. When selecting your brush size, set your “Hardness” to 100% and your “Spacing” to 25%. Now press Alt+Click The Mouse over a non-blemished area and then clicked over the blemished area to replace it.
3. To clear up areas where two distinct colors of acne are near, set your “Hardness” to 66% so you can blend the areas more naturally.
4. Next, click on Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation to balance the colors. I increased the Hue slider by 12 points to even out the reddish blemishes on the women in this example.
5. Your final image should look like the one below when your finished.

Version 9 provides increased integration with Adobe InDesign, notably in the form of the ability to copy or drag content from it, with formatting preserved or the application of styles, as well as automatic translation into CSS. A visual CSS layout window lets users create or verify standards-compliant code that is said to render faithfully on mobile devices, as well as Web browsers.
Who should use it ? According to Adobe : “Web designers and developers who need an efficient way to create and maintain rich media sites, including extranets, content sites, and e-commerce platforms, as well as print design professionals who lack experience with coding but need to create their own portfolio sites and provide occasional Web development for clients should use GoLive 9.”
