link How to Turn Humdrum Photos into Cinematic Portraits
Yes, I know the style is overdone but it has many techniques in here that are very useful for more stylized portraits. Until it starts looking "so 2009", anyway.

link Photoshop Shortcuts - The Fun Way
From a PC perspective - yes! Good to see that for a change; I've been using Photoshop since version 3 , so yes, serious Photoshop users *do* use PCs. ;) Some of these multi-key shortcuts were new to me, and hey - every time saver's a good thing.

link Creative Suite Pillows
Handmade Adobe-inspired pillows - get the entire CS suite for only $80. That's crazy insane.

link Permanent Press Photoshop Filters
These are just beyond yum. Especially love the letterpress filters; the halftone is yum too, though.

link Photoshop Secret Shortcuts
I don't know what gets me more excited; learning new shortcuts, or realizing that I know more than half already. Could it be that this behemoth program, which I have used for 10-odd years, is finally under my belt? It always seemed like there were so many new things I didn't know how to do with it. :)

link Keyboard Shortcut Skins for Macs
From the so-hip-it-hurts-Photojojo, a set of skins for Photoshop, Aperture, After Effects and others. They sit right over your keys and help you to learn the (bajillions) of keyboard shortcuts for each program. Mac only, though, sniff, pout.

link How To Use Layer Comps in Photoshop
Good little tutorial, basic, but goes over a few things I didn't know about Comps.

link Adobe Photoshop Express
Well that's just cool and overdue and possibly cool again. Photoshop for the Web - free, and presumably limited features, which I'll check out later today, but also including galleries and 2GB of storage. Did I mention free? Cool.

link SlideShowPro
Seems like a really good pro-quality Flash based slideshow.

link Photoshop Disasters
Absolutely hilarious new blog pointing out some scary indeed Photoshop work - I don't know what made me laugh harder, the iStockPhoto watermark on the Nintendo DS cover? The nipple-less model? Nope, it's gotta be the three hands. Love the Spiderman reference in the tagline. via NoahBrier.com

link Curvy Cross Processing in Photoshop
Nice basic overview of cross processing in Photoshop. The tutorial reads "for CS3" but it would be fine with most versions - it's strictly curves adustment layers.

link Vectips
Illustrator tips, tricks and tutorials. Sweet and lovely design. I need to learn how to use Illustrator. Surely after all these years in Photoshop it shouldn't be that hard.
