- seantubridy, on 01/10/2008, -3/+116I'm going to try all of those on one image. Then I'm going to add a lens flare. It's going to be awesome.
- centran, on 01/10/2008, -4/+37How to fake HDR.... < sigh >
That is not HDR. HDR is high dynamic range not high saturation bumped colors artsy photo. HDR is the delicate merging the details of very bright and very dark areas of the photo to more accurately represent what the human eye sess.
Can we please give that normal HDR people are "used" to a different name. How about GUTM. Gross Use of Tonal Mapping. or just call it tonal mapping.
Here is linked article from this collection I am bitching about.

Wrong. Illustrator is the graphic designer's favorite app. - DeathScytheHell, on 01/10/2008, -3/+18This stuff is gonna be stupid hard for beginners so try not to slow it down.
- TheRoller, on 01/10/2008, -2/+17"In fact, in Photoshop it usually takes pretty much time to achieve something you have never done before."
...Wha? - fridenstrom, on 01/10/2008, -0/+14Don't forget the difference clouds.
- honus, on 01/10/2008, -5/+16That is a compilation worthy of "best of." It's bookmarked now.

- keevols, on 01/10/2008, -3/+14you sucjk at photoshop
- dshPls, on 01/10/2008, -6/+16hi, 1999.
- tikiman453, on 01/11/2008, -0/+8you guys all suck. regardless of how it looks, this guy put these up so you could learn how to do something and you're all being douche bags for cutting down someone else's creativity.
- teabagginz, on 01/11/2008, -0/+7i'll digg it when it gets posted
- MrWally, on 01/11/2008, -2/+9In all honesty, it is a well-made tutorial and you show pretty good knowledge of Photoshop, but I agree, the effect looks kind of outdated.
- pinniger, on 01/10/2008, -2/+8I logged in just to so i could bury you.
- MillionsLivio, on 01/10/2008, -6/+11Well constructed with quality entries, I like the diversity within the list.
- jesusfranco, on 01/11/2008, -1/+5Digged you comment for
A) linking to the article
and
B) backing up your rant with facts, witch is more than I can say for other comments - endlessoul, on 01/10/2008, -0/+3Buried...
...and so are you. Happy trails. - teabagginz, on 01/11/2008, -0/+3gimp is pretty powerful for a free app.
- fredclown, on 01/11/2008, -1/+4Please tell me you're joking ... cause I can't quite tell.
- BevansDesign, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2Tried Gimp on a friend's linux box. And it really is just crap. There's a reason why you have to pay for some programs and others are given away for free.
- nitsnipe, on 01/10/2008, -7/+9This is an awesome list of tutorials. Kudos to whoever compiled the list.
Whats scary, is how easy it has become fake things in the world today. - inactive, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2i have to say, as someone who just started trying out Photoshop two days before, it's true.
- supertom2, on 01/10/2008, -0/+2On at least three occasions you missed out a space, ruined the effect (although it wasn't funny to begin with)
- BevansDesign, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2Read, stared at, blinked at.
We don't need to know what you're doing. - theycallmebubba, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2'Useless' is a bit of a stretch, my friend. Assuming you're referring to PRINT ads, then yes, InDesign would be superior. Or maybe you mean to say 'I like Photoshop's layer comping ability - it's really handy'. I agree with you there, too. However, the ability to make razor-sharp, infinitely-scalable posters, flyers, and other... what did you call them? Oh, LAYOUTS... is pretty nice. But the truth of the matter is, it all depends on the design brief. If it were me, I'd use all three in conjunction: Photoshop for my pics in the layout, Illustrator for any vector logos, etc (although InDesign's tools are usually sufficient), and InDesign to put them all together. If you're talking about website comping, though, I've usually found PS and Illustrator to be nearly interchangable.
/lecture - volonix, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1i assume you dont know what the sentence means ... ?
pretty much time is quite a lot of time. is it really that hard to work out? forgive me if you meant it doesnt take long. - theycallmebubba, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1HI-FIVE for penny arcade!
- fxu1989, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1ehh .. I don't know :
I'm in the printing business; I use photoshop for the design, and Illustrator for the typing, as it vectorizes them and it doesn't look pixelized once printed. - theycallmebubba, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1Ah, well in that case: Touché! You won that round... lol. I think we were both making the same exact points using the same words, weren't we?
- s0nicfreak, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1That's actually pretty damn amazing.
- orijimi, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Also, it's kind of stupid either way. Relying on a 650 dollar program when you could just switch to GIMP, and live with the annoyances, and help in making it better than Photoshop.
- holygram, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1:/
- IRoaChI, on 01/11/2008, -1/+2Thats what photoshop is for. Why have ooze if there isn't any cheese ?
- myklee, on 12/11/2008, -0/+1I don't see anywhere in there where i said i don't use photoshop for my graphic design work. I usually start with illustrator, just because it IS way easier to manipulate the assets in the project as far as layout goes. I also used to work in production at a newspaper and i understand why you would say that indesign and quark are what you use for layout, but only if a majority of your layout involves massive amounts of text. for the most part, that isn't the case when doing a majority of graphic design. good arguments none the less
- Yibbon, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Sweet Flare!
- rasia, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1wow.... this is what i am looking for. thanks for info.
http://adobe-indesign.com/ - BevansDesign, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Step 1: Get Photoshop.
That's one of my favorites. Short and sweet. - APDSD, on 09/20/2008, -0/+0Man can't say enough about photoshop tutorials, tips and tricks, thanks for the info... http://www.anchorpointdesignsd.com/
- BSeffrood, on 01/11/2008, -1/+1Im a layout designer at a newspaper, what i meant was that for layout purposes Illustrator has no use, unless your are creating advertisement, and then you still need Quark or InDesign to lay them out on a page to send to them to a rip for printing. Illustrator is great for creating the logo, but you still need Photoshop for most of the design elements.
- social101, on 03/12/2008, -0/+0very useful information dude!! Thanks!!
- BevansDesign, on 01/11/2008, -1/+1Looks like a great collection, and I look forward to trying most of them out.
The first one I tried was the "Slow Shutter Text Effect". I've always had trouble creating convincing glow effects, so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, the author skips many steps and assumes your settings are the same as his/hers. Step 5 is just a mess.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to split it up into more paragraphs. Having numerous steps in a chunk of text and calling it one step is ridiculous. - digirat, on 01/11/2008, -1/+1I dugg this because there might come a time when I won't be too lazy to try these
- inoreloaded, on 05/23/2009, -0/+0thaks for share this to us. great entry
http://inoreload.co.cc - ab498, on 01/11/2008, -1/+1http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1764805
i think this one is a better tutorial. - yomama6969, on 01/11/2008, -0/+0oh god...are you serious? draw?
and no im not just a fan boi, I've spent 2 years in Corel Suite, and 5 in Adobe. Pretty easy to see which works for me (and the entire industry) - ThatsPopetastic, on 01/11/2008, -1/+1I've never really been good at drawing. I even suck at drawing stick figures, if that gives you an idea at how sad I am at drawing. But I have so many ideas in my head for awesome pictures and art. Is it possible for someone like me to fully bring my ideas to Photoshop and actually have it look beautiful? I realize this is going to take a lot of practice and time but I'm tired of having all these different pictures of art stuck in my head and not being able to share it with others. Secondly, is there any tutorials out there that are great for beginners like me, so I can learn the basics? I appreciate all the help I can get :D
- trib4lmaniac, on 01/11/2008, -1/+1Why is everyone on Digg such a cynic?
The dude in the 4th pic is definitely 'shopped (you can tell from his moustache), but the rest look legit! - janeston7, on 09/22/2008, -0/+0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYxvxbXHZxU
