This Apple Science podcast features Claire Nouvian, a French journalist who became fascinated with the deep-sea after seeing a museum exhibit in 2001. She wanted to see and learn more, but soon discovered how few materials were available. This motivated her to collect the countless photos she knew must be scattered in the computers of deep-sea scientists around the globe. Nouvian amassed over 6,000 photos of deep-sea creatures that required navigation and manipulation. Nouvian appreciates the simplicity of the Mac operating system. To process her photo library, she needed only a PowerBook and a collection of external hard drives. To review photos, she used Apple Preview, and to manipulate photographs she turned to Adobe Photoshop. Her publisher connected her with graphic designer Anne-Marie Bourgeois, who works exclusively with Macs:three Power Macs and two PowerBooks. The two easily exchanged files as they produced the book. Nouvian sent photo files and Bourgeois laid them out in book format using Quark XPress, then converted them to PDF files for Nouvian's review. The countless photos that were collected were compiled into a book, The Deep, which has just been released.
