There are few more lazily fulfilling practices in this world than to watch someone else Photoshop in time lapse. In this clip, a guy turns himself into a Na’vi (Avatar smurf). Papyrus credits included. [fubiz via DVICE]

I know this isn’t a tech blog, but I thought this was interesting enough to share here: Photoshop is now available as an iPhone/iPod Touch app from Photoshop.com, plus you can access Photoshop Mobile on several other devices too. Sadly, the app is really just for barebones photo-editing, and not one you can use to draw with. It’s Adobe’s version of PicNik I guess.

Oh, and in other news: Photoshop Express dot-com, has turned into just plain old Photoshop.com. I’ve been living under a rock, so I had no idea either existed. I know Adobe had a few web-based tools—like Kuler and BrowserLab—but I can’t find a page on their site that lists all of them. Anyone?

Due to the lack of interest I will not be publishing the 2010 calendar templates for Photoshop this year.

Jill will show us how to create an amazing digital painting design using Photoshop and Corel Painter.

I have been lucky enough to have my work showcased in various places such as Camden’s Proud Galleries, MTV, Computer Arts & Digit Magazine and at Brighton’s Hip Hop Festival. As well as being published in a book that showcased global illustration, I’ve also been nominated for some awards and was a finalist last year for Britvic’s Drench Art Award (ooh get me!).

Most of my work is mixed media, I use Corel Painter, Photoshop as well as lots of different paints, scans and textures – mostly just playing until I have something I feel happy with.

“Pattern brushes in Illustration… Honestly? It’s something I hardly (read ‘never’) use. That’s just because I haven’t looked into this feature and now that I have I truly believe in its powers. Ever since I started writing Illustrator and Photoshop tutorials, I come to the conclusion that I know and use so little of certain features that can really save me a lot of time. When I’m writing these tutorials, I always take time to explore and experiment a lot to get to know and understand these features better and to see how far I can go. Sometimes, depending on which feature of course, I’m only scratching the surface. It’s good to question the different ways or techniques to accomplish the same result. Without further ado, here is my version of how you can use seamless Illustrator pattern brushes with outer corner tiles…”

Adobe Photoshop has always been one of the greatest software when it comes to manipulating and editing images. It all started off in 1987 with a Mac application call Display, created by Thomas Knoll.

With two decades worth of changes and improvements, you almost can’t imagine how the first version of Photoshop would look like by looking at the Photoshop you have on your desktop.

Michael Douma and his colleagues from ColoRotate and IDEA is working on a project to display and edit colors in 3D. He thought I might be interested and sent me the link which you will find below. I went to the site and was impressed. It’s called “ColoRotate” and is in beta. It mentions that a plug-in is in the works for Photoshop CS 4, I can’t wait. Check the site out and let me know what you think. Did I mention that it’s free? link

“Since color is inherently three dimensional, it’s always bothered us that all color pickers are flat. That led to the design ColoRotate, a 3D editor that aligns with the way our minds process color. We’ve also put together some background information about the nature of color, perception, and color models — http://learn.colorotate.org/

ColoRotate is a free online service that has some similarities to Adobe Kuler, but is different in that it’s in 3D. Users can browse color palettes, create new palettes, and share palettes with others in the ColoRotate community. This fall, we’ll be launching ColoRotate as a CS4 plugin.”
