Peter Wiggins looks at Sapphire Plug-ins from GenArts
Peter Wiggins takes a thorough look at the new Sapphire plug-ins from GenArts.

“Before I forget: don’t wear any underwear.”
Before coming to Creative COW, before his lives in product marketing and product management at Avid and Boris FX, Creative COW Editor-in-Chief Tim Wilson ran a video production company. As we also observe the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the US Parks Service, Tim recalls one one especially memorable adventure to Everglades National Park, wherein he found himself quite literally up to his armpits in alligators. He had no idea that this was going to happen when the day began. At the time, he was focused on a brand new fear: getting sliced in half by burning underwear.
