Check out this article from Studio Daily about a film shot in Hi-8 and then rotoscoped in Flash
frame by frame to create a disturbing graphic novelesque film by London Squared Productions.
They used Final Cut Pro for editing the footage and After Effects and Photoshop for post.

this one begins to address a much felt gap…SDK for lightroom that lets you create plug-ins to enable Lightroom to work with many third party apps, web sites, etc. There seem to be a lot of errors thrown from the discussion board, maybe that will be worked out soon since this was just released on the 15th. There is an interesting looking discussion thread on Flickr export from lightroom, unfortunately I couldn’t get to it due to all the errors thrown (four in total for this link alone, but there seem to be about 17 posts so some people must be getting through).

According to this article from Macworld look’s like the $300 million HP invested into the Print 2.0 venture has quite a bit of meaning in their future strategy. We developed the HP Print Studio, a fundamental component of Print 2.0, using Adobe Flex…

Thanks to Jeff Witchel & Layers Magazine for this tip. In my InDesign projects I had always been annoyed by not knowing how to insert pages without screwing up my entire layout, especially where I had very large graphic elements on the pages. Here’s a feature I wish I knew about back then:

Adobe InDesign CS3 Tip – Why Would You Want to Allow Pages to Shuffle?
One of the choices under the Pages panel Options menu that is checked by default is “Allow Pages to Shuffle.” Years ago, when I first started using InDesign, my first reaction to this choice was, “What is shuffling and why would I want my pages to do it?” As I began to play with the feature, I quickly realized what this interesting choice of words was all about. If pages are allowed to shuffle and a single page is added before a particular spread, all pages “shuffle” forward in the rest of the document so that the even numbered pages become odd numbered pages to the right, and the odd numbered pages move down to become the even numbered left-hand side of the next spread. So “shuffling” maintains order in spread pagination. But what happens if this default is unchecked? You can create spreads with more than two pages (a gatefold spread in a magazine for example). So, if you need to make your spreads wider than two pages, simply “unshuffle” your document’s pages.
