As I wrote earlier, Photoshop has got a new logo. The critics aren’t really good, and I’m not a big fan either.
Personally I prefered the CS2 logo, but let’s take a look at the other old logo’s: Read the rest of this entry »
John Nack (Product Manager of Photoshop at Adobe) writes about the new logo for the Photoshop family of products (including Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Album, Lightroom, etc.).
“To represent this rich family of products, Adobe is introducing the Photoshop visual logo. This logo will soon appear in all Photoshop-related marketing, so keep an eye out for it. The Photoshop logo on a product, service, or technology, represents the rich legacy, technical quality, and attention to detail that has made Photoshop the gold standard in digital imaging.”
It would be under understatement to say I don’t like the new logo (I think they’re trying a little to hard to be ‘trendy’), but I am honoured John Nack referenced my article about ‘Photoshop branding’

- 10 Websites with Great Photography
Great Photography is an understatement here. We’re talking about Awesome Photography on these sites! - 9 tutorials » Beautiful lighting FX effect in Photoshop

Wow, this certainly is an interesting method. They should add this function to Photoshop. - Top 10 Apple Iphone concepts that didn’t make it
Great 3D modelling an Photoshop work
The Photoshop dudes over at Photojojo collected 11 awesome tutorials to give your photos a cinematic effect, inspired on movies like “300″, “Pirates”, “Scarface” etc. My personal favourite? The tutorial on how to give your pictures the “Scanner Darkly” look. Awesome is indeed the right word!
You’re in need for some serious color inspiration? Then add the “Daily Colorscheme” website to your daily reads. Every day, they feature a color scheme based on a famous logo, style, country, ed. It’s still in beta tough, so use with caution 
Could you tell which of these two pictures is the original one, and which one the ‘fake’, retouched image? I had to look twice, because it seemed nearly impossible. It’s the right one. But hey, the left one could be on a magazine cover! This is just another amazing accomplishment of master photo retoucher Amy Dresser. I’ve been browsing trough her comple portfolio and it just blows my mind. I should really start experimenting with photo retouching myself. I’ve got quite some experience with graphic design in Photoshop, but I’ve never tried to ‘beautify’ a picture of someone.
If you want to get into this field too, a good place to start seems to be the “How to Beautify a Face” tutorial at Lunacore.
