The Best of Youtube’s Photoshop Videos
You can find videos of just about any subject on YouTube. Duh, that’s what makes YouTube so great right. Well, it’s greatness is also it’s curse. I don’t know about you, but every time I point my browser to YouTube looking for something specific, I get distracted by videos of plane crashes and human flamethrowers. And not the kind where the flames shoot out of the mouth, if you know what I mean. You really have to be disciplined when you venture onto that site. So, out of the kindness of my heart, I have gathered some cool Photoshop tutorials for you. I’m doing this because I care about you, and (more…)
Photoshop Resources you can’t live without
If you’re new to graphic design or you’ve been trying to avoid shelling out $700 for Photoshop let me explain something to you. You’ve got to understand, Photoshop is not just some cool little application you can use to get red eye out of your holiday pictures. Photoshop is probably the most powerful, versatile, all purpose program on the planet!
And because it’s the image editing standard there is a wealth of online community support. There are tons of how-to tutorials, plug-ins and forums full of people willing to help a beginner. Just go to Google and type in Photoshop and see what comes up in the results. Go ahead, I’ll wait! Better yet, save yourself the trouble and check out the list of resource sites I’ve compiled below. Do keep in mind that these links can break at anytime without my knowing about it. So do me a favor and leave a comment if you come across a broken link. And also let me know if there’s a site that should be on the list. I’ll be updating the list as time permits.
Thanks and enjoy!

Gimp Image Enhancement Video
The exercise in this video started out as a way for me to pass some time and challenge myself in the process. But at some point half way through working on this image I thought it would make for a cool video post. I posted a offer in a forum over at TalentTrove.com to take anyone’s image and enhance it to their liking free of charge. There are many actors and models who display their pictures for talent scouts to see. And I know from experience that models always have a few pictures that would be perfect for their portfolio if it wasn’t for that blemish or weird shadow that makes it look like they have a third nipple. Well I got a few takers, and among them was a unexpected request. Someone wanted me to enhance a piece of art they created. So I decided to fire up Camstudio and record my tango with this unusual rendering.
