Photoline Review: A Truly Great Photoshop Alternative
Photoline is a Mac (and Windows) image editing program that is clearly intended to be a complete Photoshop replacement. Its user interface is pretty similar to Photoshop’s (although less polished, to be sure, and prone to the occasional untranslated piece of German).

Panoramas, HDR, and the future of Lightroom
On Wednesday CNET's Stephen Shankland sat down to talk with my boss Kevin Connor to talk about what's on the roadmap for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. (I was there as well, but Stephen--correctly discerning that Kevin is the guy with the actual clue/plan/power--wisely focused his questions in that direction. ;-)) They conduced a fairly wide-ranging talk that hits on such topics as high dynamic range (HDR) imaging, panorama creation, and the future of Lightroom extensibility.
GridIron Flow: Ridiculously cool workflow management
Unless you buy After Effects plug-ins, you've probably never heard of GridIron Software. That'll change. This small Ottawa-based developer has unveiled one of the slickest, most potentially transformative applications I've seen in years. My enthusiasm comes from what it could mean to Photoshop & Creative Suite customers.
Called GridIron Flow, the new software is designed to give you "Mind of God" knowledge of where your files are, how they're related, how long you've been working on them, etc.

Episode 64: Nitty Gritty
This week we'll be heading back into Photoshop CS3 in order to achieve a very cool look on our digital photos. The look we get with this technique is very unique and leaves a lot of room for customization.
There are several techniques out there that are similar to this one, but I believe this to be the superior method because all of the effects we've done to this photograph are completely non-destructive and customizable!
Episode 65: Color Change
Every week I receive a ton of email asking about different Photoshop techniques. One of the most requested techniques is how to change the color of an object (usually a shirt or car, etc.) and in this episode that question is answered. We are going to use the Select Color Range command in Photoshop to achieve this color change and when we're done, you'll be amazed at just how easy it really is.
As always, a special Batgirl thank you to James Jean

Why do you need plugins? Photoshop is an amazing image editing application that has forever changed graphic design and digital photographic editing, but like any tool, if you don't have time to fully learn it, you can't get the most out of it.
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. Whether it is color correction, resizing, masking or creating an effect, you can find a Photoshop plug-in that can help you be more efficient with your time.
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.
