I do like futuristic looking demonstrations of technologies that will play a big role in the coming years. One demonstration that I found absolutely fascinating is a Photoshop multitouch image editing one. Working with small screens and a mouse plus keyboard combination is the current state of the art when it comes to image editing. It becomes problematic in a number of way including working in a team. It is also not natural to use a mouse to draw and edit images. Multitouch image editing uses a natural flow and offers a bigger detailed view of the image at hand.
I found a video on youtube demonstration how powerful this way of image editing is. Enjoy the show.

Wo0o0o0oW!!
so coooooooooooool…
but is this technology had been intruduced into reality??
Nice one.
I’m intrestes in this technology too, but I admit i have some doubt about this video.
I’m afraid this is something like that famous video of a touchscreen iPod that was a buzz some tome ago.
I think some changes of the workspace on the “table” happen BEFORE the gestures of the operator.
I hope to be wrong, but please watch it again aand tell me what you think.
PS: i read your feed since some month ago, sorry to be “lurkin” all this time :P
I actually don’t think that this is fake. This was apparently a project by Thomas Gläser who is a student at a German university.

Humm… I think this is just a concept. It seems to me too that some gestures try to follow the interface.
AWEOSME! SHIT! AWESOME
So… in the same time it would take a Pro with a mouse/tablet to retouch an image you can:
- Pull up a few tools
- Use the “Smudge” effect
- Develop lower back pains AND wrist problems
- Get fired for being too damn slow!!!
Seriously… where do these developers think they are heading? The mouse/keyboard combination has been perfected in the last 20 years and now we have to step backwards for this “cool” new tech?
I just don’t get it!
Dan, every think of the possibility of setting the table at an angle and lowered for a seated position? You’re missing the possibilities here.
