If you have already downloaded this episode before October 31 3:30 PM GMT, you’ll have noticed a black border around the too small image. It’s fixed now, so if you want to look again at some details I would consider a new download.
This week you see how to create drops of water while staying dry at your computer. Again starting with a view on nature Philippe shows what a drop of water does to the light and emulates this from scratch with GIMP.
At the end you are in for a surprise gift - it costs you just a download.
