What I Use
Since I a) get asked that a lot and b) Mathieu Tozer has a post with the same name, that gave me the inspiration and c) some people around me will get a shiny new Mac and d) some people actually read my blog (surprise!).

Ha, great. Adobe introduced so-called Smart Objects in Photoshop CS3. With these nifty things, you can apply filters to layers, without destroying the underlying data.

Ist ja auch nicht das erste Programm, das auf diesem Auge blind ist – IE kapiert PNG genausowenig und treibt damit reihenweise Webdesigner an den Rand des Wahnsinns und des Suizids. Vergessen kann ich damit auch meine Idee, meine schönen Grafiken, die ich für ein Projekt am ITW erstellt habe, so kompatibel zu machen, dass sie auf jedem Hintergrund dargestellt werden können.
Mike Matas – blutjunger Designer mit einem wahren Gespür für «Mac-Likeness» hat Ersatz-Icons für OmniOutliner gestaltet.
map.search.ch ist bei weitem eine der besten Implementationen der «Adresse-im-Internet-suchen-Idee». Die Erweiterung dessen gibt es nun mit der Integration dieses Services in das Mac OS X-Adressbuch.
Mehrere Objekte in Quicksilver auf einmal bearbeiten.
Immer wieder erstaunlich, was dieses Progrämmchen kann.
