Photoshop Express Beta

1 04 2008

Adobe Photoshop Express Beta
It’s not Photoshop like you know. As in you won’t be able to use layers, masks and filters.
Photoshop Express is totally free and can be used in your favorite web browser. It’s able to have your images cropped, recolored, resized and more basic retouchings. It allows you to store them and after you’ve done that you can share them with people on your blog, Myspace or your Facebook. Again, it isn’t able to do big things like Photoshop can. So it isn’t a free replacement of Photoshop at all!

If you joined Photoshop Express you can have 2 gigabytes of free space, that’s around 2000 pictures you can store. Than you’ll get your own URL and see other peoples pictures in no time. You can also directly access your Photobucket, Facebook and Picasa account.

Get started!
If you’re having troubles getting started, here to go!

Grungy Vintage Wallpaper Walkthrough/Tutorial

30 03 2008

As some of you might know lately there was an article on Smashing Magazine where they asked their readers to create a wallpaper calendar. And they gave them full creativity without limitations. Only that they had to put a calendar in and have the resolutions of a wallpaper. I, ViniMan who’ve written a few articles here on photoshopblog, made also one called Bearwitness.
The most great thing of all is that they’ve featured my wallpaper, Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: April 2008.
You’re probably all wondering why I’m telling you this, well I created a little walkthrough/tutorial about the wallpaper itself.

adjustments(download for the package)

Some parts of this tutorial could be probably unclear. I don’t want that people just copy paste stuff, it’s too easy than. You’ve got to have inspiration yourself, how to place objects for getting a good composition, etc. Though I want people to learn techniques that I use. That’s why some parts of this walkthrough are still more tutorial-like. Come and follow me through this! Read the rest of this entry »
