Taking a crack at Photoshop CS
I got Photoshop CS for Christmas, and I've been playing around for a little while, trying to learn it. I've had PS Elements (1) for a while now, but CS is like, 100x better than elements (duh...). Anyway, tell me what you think of my first crack at making a halfway decent wallpaper ( 1024*768 )
PSD (2.05 MB)
(I'm not sure, but I think that the lines are there to bring in an X theme. I just started making lines, saw the X's, and thought of panther)
(Yes, I know the Panther box has a black background)

sorry, but I think you could do much better still in Photoshop Elements
I mean its just an inverted box... the Myriad Apple font (or you just took that off the Apple site) and a few gradients
But ya, try and learn Photoshop, It's an awesome program

Thats a trip. Something I didn't noticed is that Safari loaded the PSD in the browser. Has this always been around?
dunno but that's pretty neat!

There's probably a QuickTime translation going on there because Preview.app can natively open PSD files.

Yeah that is what I figured was going on. I just never noticed it before. The only reason I noticed this time is that I accidentally clicked on the PSD link instead of the gif one.

Keynote can place/resize/manipulate .psd files too. It must be in the OS. (I believe that Illustrator files are the same way.)

yeah I love the way keynote works with PSDs and Illustrator files...just copy and paste. beautiful stuff!
Also if you're using photoshop to mess with your photos, for correction. I highly recommend you get a book just about photography in general
Happy Photoshopping!
I can use the pen tool...and GET THE RESULTS I WANT! It's a revalation! I'm feeling very special. My friends will go green with envy...
I know people who STILL use the lasso tool for making intricate clipping paths. These are so-called "professionals" too.
I'll never understand that. You get ONE shot to make it right!
Oh well...
IMO, Photoshop and Illustrator are only half the program they are without the pen tool. Once you learn it (and it's not even hard!), there really isn't anything you can't create, mask, clip, isolate, draw, retouch, add, finesse, etc.
But that's just me...I remember it being the first thing I played with when I bought Illustrator 5.0 with my first Mac nearly 10 years ago. I thought "how cool...this thing does EVERYTHING!"
