Photoshop Automator Actions for OSX updated

by David Chartier Aug 14th 2005

Just a little note that the Photoshop CS/CS2 Automator Actions for OSX Tiger have been updated. Check out one of my past Imaging Tips for a rundown on this sweet and robust set of actions if you're not sure what I'm talking about.

Sounds like the filter actions were tweaked so that you can set up a work flow to close just the filtered images, all images or none. This could be handy if you want to pass those documents on to other actions in a workflow. If you haven't played with these actions yet but are curious, I can tell you from first-hand experience: they're absolutely fantastic. They've quickly become an indispensable part of my daily imaging work now, even my blogging here with DLSQ and the Weblogs Inc Network. As a reminder: they're free, so that's one less excuse to go snag a copy and get automating!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
