Adobe Flash Builder - Custom event dispatching

Custom events are a great way to send data around an application and have components and controls respond to situations. In this simple tutorial we have two custom components that will communicate with each other via custom events. We have a button that creates and dispatches an event that the application then responds to and then tells another component to perform an action. Understanding of custom events will go along way to making applications perform better and easier to manage code changes as the application grows.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Installing Lens Profiles via Photoshop CS5

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 and Camera RAW have a cool feature that corrects for lens distortion and other lens / camera specific artifacts. This is done by way of calibrated profiles for a lens and body, however the list is limited and whilst Adobe offers a tool to create you're own, it was only a matter of time before the library grew. Installing these profiles is a pain at best, but one way to do it is via the Lens Correction filter in Photoshop. I'll show you how to find the profile you need via this filter and the Adobe servers that hold the profiles for download. Once downloaded and installed locally you can use the profile in Camera RAW and Photoshop Lightroom.
