PHOTOSHOP MADNESS is where you practically go mad trying to find the most useful stuff for Photoshop! You can believe we went totally mad when we got caught in a stalker site, supposedly of “great Photoshop downloads” and couldn’t get out! The only thing we could do was shut down the computer — which lost a bunch of work on this month’s column. Sheesh.
We did find these Adobe Photoshop items for the 2012 Holiday Photoshop Madness surf . . .
* Create Christmas Greeting Card with CS6
* Photo to aquarel painting tutorial
* A Simple Christmas Star tutorial
* Amazing Christmas Card
* Some Christmas Dock Icons
* A Merry Christmas Tree
… and more! C’mon in …

Anyway, here we go with the 2012 Holiday Photoshop Madness surf . . .
As always, we caution you — be careful what you click, and where you click. We always attempt to refer you to good, clean stuff — but malware, phishing, stalker and predator links are abundant in many sites these days. Whatch those little popups in the text. Just stay on the tutorial / content paths and you’ll be okay.

(While this tutorial does a fair job of introducing tools, the writer is not very English literate, and the site is raft with stalker and ad links.)
