Once again you lay the smackdown on good planning links. I'm not worthy.

Has anybody attempetd to enhance photos themselves? I am working on some neighborhood plans and was wondering if anyone has used photoshop or some other software to superimpose lighting, sidewalks, etc onto existing photographs.

I tried doing that a while back, and the perspective just never looked right, so I would end up just doing a rendering.

Visualizations like these always give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside and keep me dreaming. Nice link.

WOW... at first when I saw the thumbnails i thought it was Viz 4 or some other 3d program, but instead i am treated with some l33t master skillz of photoshop . Must say that it's awesome what they did. I really hope New Urbanism reaches my country, but most important over the thing that the idea gets here, it's way more important that NU gets well implemented. But I can still dream on... since I live in a latin american country
oh well I can still (hopefully) become a US inmigrant

Also check out the philosophy link. I'm sure all you professionals out there are already familiar with the ideas from college, but it was interesting to me.
