From Jan Kabili's Photoshop Online
Simulate a graduated neutral density photo filter
Shooting a scene with lots of sky often results in a photo with a dark foreground. If you carry a graduated neutral density lens filter in your camera bag, you can use it in the field to even out exposure. But if you don’t have that filter, or you forget to put it on your camera, no worries. You can simulate the effect of a graduated neutral density filter in Photoshop with a black to white gradient on an adjustment layer.

Photoshop tutorial - Post processing: Overburn
A simple photoshop tutorial for the post-processing of photographs.
Photoshop tutorial - Post processing: Digital to fake Black & White Film
Simply desaturating a photograph doesn’t really represent a true black & white film photo. The film has more impact, more puch and more life. A digital photo converted to black & white just doesn’t cut it, it doesn’t look real.
Photoshop tutorial - Post processing: Toning black and white images
This post-processing tutorial shows how to tone black and white images to give them an art approach. It can turn a rather boring image into something interesting.
Photoshop tutorial - Post processing: Make dramatic skies
This Photoshop post-processing technique shows how to make dramatic skies, similar to having a circular polarizer filter on the camera. This simply darkens the sky to better reveal your clouds.
Photoshop tutorial - Post processing: Get Vibrant colors without increasing contrast
This post-processing technique shows how to transform a dull looking photo coming out of a digital camera and get the vibrant colours it should have. Most cameras, even pro’s models, under achieve the colours giving the maximum possibilities for post-processing. With this simple technique, we’re using Lab colors to increase saturation on all colors but not increasing edges contrast.

Colour Replacement Techniques

Chinese Space Program Propaganda
I love a little propaganda in the morning. No really. Sometimes I feel like I couldn't get out of bed without it. Especially when said propaganda involves PANDAS IN SPACE.

Plugins for Photoshop allow you to either do something that you cannot do with the features included in Photoshop or they allow you to do something easier, faster or better than you could do in Photoshop without the plug-in.

Did You Know You Could Create An Entire Website In Photoshop?
SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly
There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.
Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.
Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, this program turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, this program is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks.
Generate Your Web Pages Directly From Photoshop
By generating web pages directly from Photoshop, you'll be able to spend much more time on the creative end of the spectrum, since you'll know right off the bat how well particular designs will translate to the web. No more going back to the Photoshop drawing board after getting a phone call from your development team, telling you that what you had envisioned doesn't have a chance of being displayed on the web. You can immediately visually and interactively test your designs, which permits you to then make changes to either esthetics or functions while it's still relatively early on in the design process.
Pricing and Availability
Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download. SiteGrinder can be ordered from Media Lab's online store.
