Macro and microscopic photography open up a whole new world of possibilities, making even ordinary objects extraordinary. But what about shooting those objects that already are extraordinary? Well, Christian Stangl decided to give it a shot and he has created something truly wonderful.

Teaming up with musician Max Cooper, Christian created a video to his song by playing with opal. He used a macro lens, some lights, and water, and created one of the trippiest and most beautiful macro videos I’ve seen.

While it’s faced some challenge from companies like Serif with Affinity Photo, Adobe’s Photoshop is still the undisputed leader in its class when it comes to photo editing. But now imaging veterans ACD Systems have released their new Photoshop competitor, Gemstone as a free public beta that you can all have a play with.

It’s a new standalone application, just like Photoshop and Affinity Photo, with a lot of similar features. It brings over a lot of features from ACDSee’s own Photo Studio and Photo Editor products, too, and also offers full raw development for over 500 camera models with some neat looking non-destructive editing techniques.
