In the finale to our coverage of Photoshop World in Washington D.C., we talk to Walter Pollard of Piqsure and Mark Fuccio of Tactics Sells High Tech about Piqsure’s new technology for displaying high resolution images on the web. And when they say “high resolution,” they really mean it. Piqsure has solved the problems of speed and file size by moving all the heavy lifting to the server side so that anyone can put their largest photos on the web and deliver the best possible experience to the viewer. Walter and Mark discuss how it works and show off the results.

Mac expert and author Maria Langer has been busy since we last checked in with her, producing two new books. The first, iBooks Author: Publishing Your First Ebook, will help you do just that, with Apple’s new authoring tool. Maria discusses how the book was created, why she chose to do it outside iBooks Author, at least for the initial versions, and her experience with the rich environment it delivers. Maria talks about the transformation iBooks Author brings to the medium, why it doesn’t feel like a 1.0 product, her pricing decisions and what it can mean to the publishing industry. Her second book, Sorting Excel Data: The Basics & Beyond, is more of a niche title; she talks about what it covers and why there is a need for a book on a topic as specific as data sorting.
