The story: I often hike to the top of Mission Peak, but recently I have begun taking a detour from the busy main trail and instead following an alternate route that reaches the ridge just south of the peak. On this day I had hoped to arrive by sunrise but didn’t quite make it. However, I was attracted to this post-sunrise light creating a pattern of shadows on a ridge just west of the peak – light that would not have been there at sunrise.

Another new feature substantially improving both workflow and raw performance is Live Filters, which effectively brings the dynamic editing features of Layer Styles to Filters. The pixel radius of a Gaussian Blur, for example, can be adjusted long after it has been applied with just a single mouse click. Sources report substantial performance improvements to the filters themselves, as well, and have speculated that Photoshop may now be tapping the GPU of the video card to help the CPU crunch filters.
There are lots of other features (e.g. – native code for Intel Macs), but the making filters undoable will be very useful.

The story: I love the open oak grasslands of central California, especially in winter when the grasses go dormant and the light filters through the leafless trees. I was on the return leg of a loop hike at Calero County Park when I came upon this section of the trail is it climbed around a curve and into this grove of oaks.
