Photoshop Madness, Fred Showker surfs the web in search of good Photoshop stuff

Color by Alice In Underland

GAMES for iPad, iPhone

A nice array of photoshop actions (CS2) … Soft Love – A color adjustment that has a soft/pinkish/pale affect on skin … Hard Love – Same as Soft Love but without the feathery gloss and a pinch of added contrast… Inverted Mary – A very interesting color adjustment (my personal favorite) that has an almost pop-art affect on skin and others

Marcia Cross Actions

GAMES for iPad, iPhone

We had a bit of a problem tracking this one down because it appears at some point she changed her deviant ID and now lists the action under both names …
      At any rate, this one is smooth and makes some nice changes.

Pirates vintage T-shirts

GAMES for iPad, iPhone

Ha! This one has nothing to do with color — really — except we really liked the color of the t-shirt design. Go for it!
      It’s easy to create authentic collegiate T-shirt designs using a good old-fashioned iron. In this tutorial, illustrator Derek Lea reveals how combining both applications can create stunning results.
