Photoshop: after the beginner level

Hi Folks! A late greeting of Happy New Year but may it is still a good greeting :)

I’ve been wanting to post Photoshop Tutorials and I just found something of value. It’s about using Photoshop after the beginner level. Very useful tips to increase your production level. Most of it , Ive been using for a while and Im grateful that someone wrote it ahead of me (saved me time)

here’s the the link so you can go straight ahead

Incidentally I was looking at OnOne software PhotoTools version 2 and found out that it doesnt work for the 64bit versions of windows. Now, that is something to remember. I mean I’m only on 32 bit, I thought being on 64 bit will open more options. Well in this case I was wrong. Any comments and tips would be appreciated (from 64 bit users)

Kung Hei Fat Choi next!

Top 30 Photoshop Tutorials of 2009

Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by Andy in Roundups from Web Design Dev

With only 2 months left of 2009, and the year coming to a close very soon, I thought it would be a good idea to showcase a list of the top 30 Photoshop tutorials of 2009. These tutorials are perfect for both beginners, and advanced Photoshop designers wanting to learn a few more tips.
Of course the top 30 listed here are my opinion, but if you think that some other tutorials deserved to make the list, or you want to tell us what you think of the list, then feel free to drop in a comment below to this post. We would love to hear what you think of our selection of the top 30.

Stepping Down as User Group Manager of the Adobe User Group – Philippines

After five years at the helm, I’m stepping down as the User Group Manager of the Adobe User Group – Philippines.

I’m stepping down knowing that the community I initiated in 2004 will be in the capable leadership of Rey Mendoza, Jr. and Michelle Santos. I’ll still be involved with AUGPhil in a difference capacity, but AUGPhil will move forward with Rey and Michelle leading the way.

I’ve had my share of successes and challenges (mostly challenges :P ) in reaching out to the Adobe designer and developer communities here in the Philippines, and I could say that despite the challenges in the last five years, AUGPhil kept afloat and is now primed to take on bigger things with the new leadership.

Keep an eye on AUGPhil in the coming months, there will be good things coming up. :)

Book Review: SocialCorp: Social Media Goes Corporate

Joel Postman’s SocialCorp: Social Media Goes Corporate may be lightweight in terms of pages (it’s under 200 pages), but the contents pack lots of good content for companies trying to get on the Social Media wave.

As the title suggests, the book is targeted to corporations who would like to put a Web 2.0 spin to corporate communications. The tone of the book is not technical– as a matter of fact, there is no code anywhere in the book. This makes it accessible to managers and executives that know something about the internet and marketing. One theme the book touches on is “Going for it,” that is, allaying some of the fears most corporations about social media (e.g. lack of control, unauthorized information, chaos, etc.).

There are easy to read case studies of how companies implemented social media to their advantage. From corporate blogging, Twitter, and social media ethics, Joel Postman showcases the wide array of online tools in a practical and concise manner. Also, the book touches on the fudgiest part of social media: measurement.

If you’re looking for a play-by-play guide for implementing Social Media-powered corporate communications, this book may disappoint. Postman gives a pointers approach to showing the way to the promised land of SocialCorp and chooses his words carefully to to avoid confusion. But if you ask me, SocialCorp: Social Media Goes Corporate is a great starting point to begin the Social Media journey for companies.

Drive Through Adobe Creative Suite 4

Adobe will be having “drive through” sessions of its Creative Suite 4 here in the Philippines. The two sessions, scheduled on August 26 and September 3, 2009 in Makati City, will focus on two tracks: Print and Web.

The folks from the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging (PCCI) will lead the sessions. The Print track will take up the morning sessions from 9am-12nn and the Web track is tabbed at 2-5pm.

These sessions is intended to give a glimpse to existing users of older versions of Adobe’s Creative Suite. For those interested in the Web track, here are some of the topics covered, particularly in Dreamweaver CS4:

  • Quickly find and open related files using new Related Files feature
  • Searching nested styles easily using new Code Navigator feature
  • Easily synchronise images with new Photoshop Smart Objects command

If you’re interested in attending the Drive Through Adobe Creative Suite 4 event, you can register at the event website.
