Photoshop Disasters

this blog was brought to my attention mere minutes ago, and I couldn't wait to post it. an entire site dedicated to the crap that's created in photoshop...and makes it to the public eye. we've all seen them, and now we can see them even more. great for a little time-wastin'. the captions underneath are possibly even funnier than the actual..umm...work.

Photoshop Lady

Here's another collection of photoshop tutorials. I know that so I get caught up in trying to find "that" tutorial I forgot to bookmark, and now it's lost in some designer's blog, unreachable by Google Earth. The Photoshop Lady has dedicated an entire blog to nothing but, and she's organized them nicely. So the next time you're floundering, have a look-see.

but how do i do my timesheets?

we'd all like to think we can do anything in photoshop. alas, we're all students, and i'm certainly not ashamed of perusing online tutorials in my down time (and even in panic time!). PSDTuts is a resource for brushing up on photoshop skillz, or finding an easier way to create that damn texture that's been giving you trouble.

one of the things i like best about this site is that it's easy to navigate. there's a clear nav bar at the top of the page and a nice list of tutorials at the bottom. i've found that a lot of tutorial sites are hard to sift through. if you're looking for a specific thing, say, "how to create those awesome glassy orbs," you have to look through every single entry only to find out it's not there. so thank you, PSDTuts, for creating a helpful website that's actually helpful.

how could i resist?

i mean really, the name of the episode is "nitty gritty."

justin seeley hosts this photoshop quicktip, showing us a great way to give a photo a gritty, high-contrast look. i've added noise before, but never thought of rendering clouds over it to vary the grit. nice.
