You've probably noticed that just about any application of any real

Many people fail to understand just how important the design of a
web site is to your online image. Some simply assume that because

because people assume that if the web design is unprofessional,
the product is inferior. Just as humans have a tendency to "judge
a book by its cover," they also tend ...

Web Design for the No-Talent Artist
Not everyone can hit a 90 mile per hour fast ball 400 feet.
That's why there are so few major league baseball players.
Most everyone enjoyed art class while in school, but we also
realized there was probably only one in each classroom who
actually had a talent for drawing. So too with web design.
We can't all be like the brilliant Willie Otto
(http://reticulum.net/wso/), but that shouldn't limit our
ability to present a credible web offering that serves our

Design a web album using Adobe Photoshop- Part 2
So let's begin crunching down these 300 images using Adobe Photoshop from start to finish. When I say 'crunching', to some 300 images may seem like allot, but it's not. I have done jobs for clients that have 100,000 plus images. When you have that many images to produce there are other programs I use that are designed for this. We’ll cover that another day.

To this point we have ensured that our images are web ready, cropping, retouching, watermarking, etc. So let's get at it. I will assu ...

A Review Of The New Photoshop - CS2

About 18 months ago, Adobe loaded the bases with its fantastic upgrade from Photoshop 7 to Photoshop CS (8.0). I have to admit that I thought they would pretty much just phone in the next upgrade. They'd done such a good job with the transformation from 7.0 to CS that no one could blame them. But I was wrong. After spending the last month reviewing the BETA version of CS2.0 (Photoshop 9.0 - code named Space Monkey) I have only one thing to say:
