The enchantment of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) has been legendry, not only for its cultural and natural heritages but also for its rich eco-diversities such as fresh air, green mountain ranges, picturesque landscapes, large lakes, loef:ng rivers and un-spoilt beaches all of which are unique in the region. Moreover Myanmar possesses tremendous economic potential with a wealth of natural resources spread over more than 676, 577 square kilometers. Geographically Myanmar lies between the world’s two biggest markets ~ India and China. Myanmar’s economy is now synonymous with reformation, streamlining, restructuring, change and hence is bursting with opportunities. Highlighting positive international response and the spirit of ambitious overhaul of the economy is the country’s formal acceptance of the leadership of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and affirmation of the country’s new position on international stage.

Top 15 Free Mac Apps for Graphic Designers

About the author: This guest article was written by Emma Best from Laptopical - a guide to the latest laptop reviews and laptop related news. You can also follow her on Twitter.
Top 15 Free Mac Apps for Graphic Designers
I've been using my MacBook Pro since a while now and I must say: I really love it. The most common app(s) that designers use has to be Adobe Photoshop (Or the full suite). The app(s) are great, but there is a downside: The price tag. Photoshop CS4 costs $699, CS4 extended is $999 and the full Creative Suite starts at an stunning $1799. For many people this is just a little bit too much to "play around with".
Luckily, there are also many free applications out there that can do the same kind of job that Photoshop could do for you. This article rounds up the best 15 free Mac Programs for Graphic Designers. Some of these applications can even do stuff that can't be achieved using Photoshop, or are much more simple to use.
Keep your wallet in your pocket, since all these programs will cost you nothing.
GIMP
GIMP
The most popular of all free photo editing software, GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program, and is highly-supported and frequently updated. Comparative to Photoshop, users can perform basic tasks such as photo retouching, color correction, and image size, or more complicated tasks like image composition and creation. GIMP has a scripting interface for advance users, as well as plugins, extensions, and filters.
Seashore
Seashore
If you want GIMP, but don't have X11, then Seashore is the appropriate software for you. Based on GIMP, it has nearly all the settings and functions of the more advanced program without the higher requirements.
Inkspace
Inkspace
An excellent alternative to Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw, Inkscape is a free vector graphics program supporting standard SVG format, as well as XML and CSS standards. This program can do everything you'll need in a vector graphics program - tracing, path operations, direct XML editing, etc. Import and export formats include all the common image types, including JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.
Front End Digital Media Workshop
Front End Digital Media Workshop
Don't waste time manually resizing individual photos for your various projects. Front End Digital Media is a batch conversion app for images (as well as video and audio), and allows you to mass resize, resample, split, join, and up/down sample JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, PSD, and PICT image files.
Image Tricks
Image Tricks
The biggest appeal for the Image Tricks app is the ability to apply dozens of different filters to over 20 different image formats. The finished photos can then be exported as either TIFF, JPEG, or PNG.
Comipro Plus
Comipro Plus
If you create cartoons of any type, Comipro Plus is an excellent app. Designed in Japanese but usable to English speakers, this program helps create modern-looking comics, including editing and adding word bubbles.
Google SketchUp
Google SketchUp
Different from a normal vector graphics program, Google's SketchUp allows you to not only create a design, but view it in 3D. It is easier to use than more complicated 3D software, such as AutoCAD, and is free.
Colorate
Colorate
Colorate is used to change and manipulate the colors in a photo. The Library generates a color swatch based on the photo, then allow you to add a new color pallete, either blending the current one, creating a custom one, or randomizing a completely new pallete.
Goldberg
Goldberg
This program is best used for those times when you're viewing your photos, and notice that a color is slightly off, or a side needs cropped a bit more. Instead of firing up a full photo editing application, you can simply make minor adjustments, including color correction, blurs, noise, and embossing.
NIH Image
If you need to animate one of your photos or designs, this program is for you. It's compatible with a wide array of programs, and in addition to animating images, it can also perform minor tweaks to contrast, sharpening, smoothing, filters, and more. It also analyzes particles, angles, and paths.
Scratch
Scratch
This program is so simple, it can be used also immediately with no prior instruction. It is used for creating small games, interactive art, and animated stories, and is primarily marketed to children. Despite it's juvenile market, it is an excellent tool for putting together quick interactive banners and images without the learning curve.
DAZ Studio
DAZ Studio
If you're in need of realistic 3D models, DAZ Studio is an easy-to-learn 3D program for creating 3D objects, including people, animals, and objects (buildings, cars, etc). DAZ Studio is easier to use than other 3D animation tools, and is perfect for creating surrealistic and 3D art.
Bryce
Bryce
Built to run with the aforementioned DAZ Studio software, Bryce is used to create real-looking landscapes using photos of real landscapes. Take a picture of your yard, a forest, some mountains, or other landscapes, import it into Bryce, and then add all the elements needed to turn it into a new world.
ArchiCAD
ArchiCAD
If you need a 3D design tool with more power and features than Google SketchUp, ArchiCAD is the right program to you. Similar to AutoCAD in both function and name, this program allows users to design their sketches and ideas into a realistic 3D render.
JAlbum
JAlbum
Every graphic designer requires an efficient way to keep all their photos and images organized. JAlbum is the ultimate photo organizer, as it not only allows you to organize your photos and folders using simple drag-and-drop functionality, but it also creates thumbnails and HTML pages of your photos for easy online publishing. The HTML pages to publish can be made to either export a gallery or a slide show. In addition, there's support for IPTC and EXIF data, lossless editing, image filters, style sheets, and an integrated FTP client.
Bonus: Pixelmator
Pixelmator
I've added Pixelmator myself to this list, as Emma didn't include this app to her top 15 list. I really love to use Pixelmator myself and I don't think it should be missing from this amazing list.
Pixelmator, the beautifully designed, easy-to-use, fast and powerful image editor for Mac OS X has everything you need to create, edit and enhance your images.
Bonus: Blender
Blender
Just like Pixelmator, I've added Blender myself to this list, as Emma didn't include this app to her top 15 list. Blender is a great open source app for 3d content.
Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License.
Are there more Mac Apps that you, as a graphic designer, love to use that is missing from the list above? Please share!

new to the Apple Beta Software Program or you would like to enroll another Mac

OS X Yosemite Public Beta Guide

Thank you for test-driving the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Public Beta with the new Photos app. Now OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 is available for all Mac users. Please update from the Mac App Store and continue to provide feedback to help us improve our software.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

Featuring the all new Photos for Mac

All-New Photos for Mac

All new for OS X Yosemite, Photos is built for how we take pictures today. With an iPhone always in hand, more people are taking more pictures than ever before, and photo libraries are growing larger too. With a gorgeous new design, Photos keeps your growing photo collection organized and makes it easy to find just what you’re looking for. And because it’s been engineered from the ground up for today’s large photo collections, navigating your library feels incredibly fluid, with smooth animations and intuitive gestures.
Photos works seamlessly with iCloud Photo Library, so you can automatically upload your lifetime’s worth of photos on your Mac to the cloud—along with the selfies, slo-mos, and snapshots from your iPhone—and view them on all your Apple devices and on iCloud.com. Editing your best photos is easier than ever with a comprehensive set of simple yet powerful editing tools. iPhoto libraries upgrade seamlessly into Photos, so getting started is quick and easy. It’s all built right into your Mac with OS X Yosemite.

Getting Started with the OS X Public Beta

If you are new to the Apple Beta Software Program or you would like to enroll another Mac, click here for details on how to enroll your Mac to receive beta updates. When a new public beta becomes available, it automatically shows in the Mac App Store from the Updates pane. Update to try out the beta and report any issues you find using the built-in Feedback Assistant application.
Before you install beta software, be sure to back up your Mac using Time Machine. The public beta software is still in development, which means some applications and services may not work as expected. You should not install beta software on production or business-critical systems. We strongly recommend installing on a secondary Mac, or on a secondary partition on your Mac.

Enroll your Mac to receive beta updates to OS X Yosemite

If you participated in the OS X Beta Program before OS X Yosemite was released, you are automatically enrolled to receive beta software updates. If you are new to the Beta Program, or you would like to enroll another Mac, follow the instructions below.

Back up your Mac.

Please note that you are about to install beta software. Always back up your data and files before installing beta versions of OS X. If you have multiple Macs, we recommend installing OS X Yosemite Beta on your secondary computer. Backing up files on a Mac is easy with Time Machine, the built-in backup utility in OS X.

Download Software.

Click on the "Download Beta Access Utility" button below. This will download the YosemiteBetaAccessUtility.dmg. Open the disk image, then double-click the package to run the installer and enroll your Mac for Beta Software updates.

Update your Mac.

The Mac App Store will automatically launch and display the Updates pane. There may not be any beta updates available at this time. If there are, click the Update button to install the available updates. If not, you will be notified by the Mac App Store when they are available.

Create a Bootable Version of the OS X Mavericks Installer on a USB Flash Drive

...

Create a Bootable USB Flash Drive Containing the OS X Mavericks Installer

How to Create a Bootable Version of the OS X Mavericks Installer on a USB Flash Drive - Courtesy of Coyote Moon, Inc.
For this guide, we're going to concentrate on creating a bootable USB flash drive to hold the OS X Mavericks installer.
OS X Mavericks is the third version of OS X to be sold primarily as a download from the Mac App Store. This has several advantages, the biggest of which is almost immediate delivery. With just a click or two, you can download and install the software from the online store.

As with previous downloadable OS X installers, this one assumes that you're ready to 
go; it launches the OS X Mavericks installation app as soon as the download is complete
That's all well and good for many Mac users, and very convenient as well, but I like to have a physical copy of the installer, just in case I need to reinstall the OS, or wish to install it on another Mac I own, without going through the download process again.
If you would like to have a physical backup of the OS X Mavericks installer, our guide will show you how to create it.

What You Need

You can create the physical backup of Mavericks on a number of different types of media. The two most common are probably USB flash drives and optical media (a dual-layer DVD). But you're not limited to these two options; you can use any type of bootable media, including external drives connected via USB 2, USB 3, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, and Thunderbolt. You can also use an internal drive or partition if your Mac has more than one internal drive installed.
For this guide, we're going to concentrate on creating a bootable USB flash drive to 
hold the OS X Mavericks installer. If you prefer to use an internal or external drive, the process is similar, and this guide should work just fine for you.
  • A valid copy of OS X Mavericks purchased and downloaded from the Mac App Store. If needed you can re-download OS X Mavericks
  • A USB flash drive that's at least 8 GB in size; a larger flash drive is fine, too.

That's all well and good for many Mac users, and very convenient as well, but I like to have a physical copy of the installer, just in case I need to reinstall the OS, or wish to install it on another Mac I own, without going through the download process again.

Finding the OS X Mavericks Installer Image


Finding the OS X Mavericks Installer Image - Courtesy of Coyote Moon, Inc.
Right-click or control-click the Install OS X Mavericks file and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.

Since the installer image file is contained within the OS X Mavericks installer app, we must first extract the file and copy it to the Desktop,where we can then easily make use of it.
  1. Open a Finder window and navigate to your Applications folder.
  2. Look through your list of applications and locate the one named Install OS X Mavericks.
  3. Right-click or control-click the Install OS X Mavericks file and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.
  4. The Finder window will display the contents of the Install OS X Mavericks file.
  5. Open the Contents folder.
  6. Open the SharedSupport folder.
  7. Right-click or control-click the InstallESD.dmg file, and then select Copy "InstallESD.dmg" from the pop-up menu.
  8. Close the Finder window, and return to your Mac's Desktop.
  9. Right-click or control-click on an empty area of the Desktop and select Paste Item from the pop-up menu.
  10. The InstallESD.dmg file will be copied to your Desktop. This can take a bit of time, because the file is around 5.3 GB in size.
When the process is finished, you'll find a copy of the InstallESD.dmg file on your Desktop. We'll use this file in the next series of steps.


Copy the Mavericks Installer Files to Make a Bootable USB Flash Drive


Copy the Mavericks Installer Files to Make a Bootable USB Flash Drive - Courtesy of Coyote Moon, Inc.
Drag the BaseSystem.dmg file from the OS X Install ESD window to the Source field in the Disk Utility window.
With the InstallESD.dmg file copied to the Desktop (see page 1), we're ready to create a bootable version of the file on a USB flash drive.

Format the USB Flash Drive

WARNING: The next series of steps will erase all data on the USB flash drive. Before proceeding, make a backup of the data on the flash drive, if any.
  1. Insert the USB flash drive into one of your Mac's USB ports.
  2. Launch Disk Utility, located at /Applications/Utilities.
  1. n the Disk Utility window that opens, use the sidebar to scroll through the list of storage devices connected to your Mac and locate the USB flash drive. The drive may have one or more volume names associated with it. Look for its top-level name, which is usually the name of the drive's manufacturer. For instance, my flash drive's top-level name is 30.99 GB SanDisk Ultra Media.
  2. Select the top-level name of your USB flash drive.
  3. Click the Partition tab.
  4. From the Partition Layout drop-down menu, select 1 Partition.
  5. Click the Format drop-down menu and ensure that Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) is selected.
  6. Click the Options button.
  7. Select the GUID Partition Table from the list of available partitioning schemes, and then click the OK button.
  8. Click the Apply button.
  9. Disk Utility will ask for confirmation that you wish to partition the USB flash drive. Remember, this will erase all of the content on the flash drive. Click the Partition button.
  10. The USB flash drive will be erased and formatted, and then mounted on your Mac's Desktop.

Reveal What Is Hidden

The OS X Mavericks installer has a few hidden files that we need to be able to access in order to make the USB flash drive bootable.
  1. Follow the instructions in View Hidden Folders on Your Mac Using Terminal to make the hidden files visible.

Mount the Installer

  1. Double-click the InstallESD.dmg file that you copied to the Desktop earlier.
  2. The OS X Install ESD file will be mounted on your Mac and a Finder window will open, displaying the contents of the file. Some file names will appear dim; these are the hidden files that are now visible.
  3. Arrange the OS X Install ESD window and the Disk Utility window so that you can easily see both of them.
  4. From the Disk Utility window, select the USB flash drive's name in the sidebar.
  5. Click the Restore tab.
  6. Drag the BaseSystem.dmg file from the OS X Install ESD window to the Source field in the Disk Utility window.
  7. Select the USB flash drive volume name (untitled 1) from the Disk Utility sidebar and drag it to the Destination field.
  8. If your version of Disk Utility contains a box labeled Erase Destination, make sure that box is checked.
  9. Click Restore.
  10. Disk Utility will ask for confirmation that you wish to erase the destination volume and replace it with the contents of BaseSystem.dmg. Click Erase to proceed.
  11. Supply your administrator password, if required.
  12. Disk Utility will start the copy process. This can take a bit of time, so relax, play a game, or explore some of the other articles on About.com: Macs. When Disk Utility finishes the copy process, it will mount the USB flash drive on the Desktop; the name of the drive will be OS X Base System.
  13. You can quit Disk Utility.

Copy the Packages Folder

So far, we've created a bootable USB flash drive that contains just enough of a system to allow your Mac to boot. And that's about all it will do until we add the Packages folder from the InstallESD.dmg file to the OS X Base System you just created on your flash drive. The Packages folder contains a series of packages (.pkg) that install various pieces of OS X Mavericks.
  1. Disk Utility should have mounted your flash drive and opened a Finder window labeled OS X Base System. If the Finder window isn't open, locate the OS X Base System icon on the Desktop and double-click it.
  2. In the OS X Base System window, open the System folder.
  3. In the System folder, open the Installation folder.
  4. Within the Installation folder you'll see an alias with the name Packages. Right-click the Packages alias and select Move to Trash from the pop-up menu.
  5. Leave the OS X Base System/System/Installation Finder window open; we'll be using it in the next few steps.
  6. Locate the Finder window called OS X Install ESD. This window should be open from a previous step. If not, double-click the InstallESD.dmg file on the Desktop.
  7. In the OS X Install ESD window, right-click the Packages folder and select Copy "Packages" from the pop-up menu.
  8. In the Installation window, move your cursor to a blank area (make sure you're not selecting any item already in the Installation window). Right-click in the blank area and select Paste Item from the pop-up menu.
  9. The copy process will take a bit of time. Once it's complete, you can close all of the Finder windows, and eject the OS X Install ESD image and the OS X Base System flash drive.
You now have a bootable USB flash drive that you can use to install OS X Mavericks on any Mac you own.

Hide What Should Not Be Seen

The last step is to use Terminal to hide the special system files that shouldn't normally be visible.
  1. Follow the instructions in View Hidden Folders on Your Mac Using Terminal to make these files invisible again.
