Time for an update to The Greatest Technology You Don’t Care About… Yet. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Engineering manager Kevin Goldsmith has announced<\/a> that a new version of the Adobe Image Foundation (AIF) Toolkit Preview Release is available for download from Adobe Labs.<\/p>\n

Think of AIF as similar to Apple’s Core Image technology (running really fast filters on your graphics card), but with added goodness.  For one thing, in addition to working in desktop tools like After Effects and (maybe, someday, I’m not sayin’) Photoshop and others, AIF will work in the next version of the incredibly ubiquitous Flash Player.  So…<\/p>\n

AIF = Fast-as-hell filters on every desktop, everywhere<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition to opening tons of doors for Flash animators, it’ll give the Flash Platform a huge bump in its ability to support apps like Photoshop Express.  And it’ll encourage lots of cool cross-pollination, as developers can leverage the imaging code they write for Flash in order to create filters for Adobe desktop apps, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Back to the news at hand: the Toolkit helps developers write and test their imaging code in a scripting language codenamed “Hydra” (real name TBA).  If that sounds like your bag, head over to Labs, grab the build<\/a>, and try out & share examples in the gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
