Adobe® Lens Profile Creator

This tool for Photoshop CS5 may be useful for creating lens correction profiles for T/S lenses at varying degrees of shift. I'm not sure about this yet but I will be testing this idea over the next few months. If anyone else tries this method, let me know your thoughts.

See this other thread here: New CS5 Lens Correction Tool

AP Class at SAIC

I got the word-my class in June at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago filled up. Its a go-you never know in this economy! I'll be in Chicago from June 1st-July10th staying in the visiting artist condos on Michigan Ave. Teaching is very stimulating for me. We will visit Hedrich-Blessing as always (like a pilgrimage to Mecca for an AP). I should come up with allot of new thoughts on AP for posts here.
