Adobe Releases Photoshop Elements 9 For Mac And Windows
Adobe today announced Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. software for Windows and Mac, offering a complete photo solution to anyone who wants to organize, edit, create and share extraordinary photos. With the newest version of the No. 1 selling consumer photo-editing software,* Adobe delivers powerful new technology to equip every consumer with the ability to achieve professional results easily and quickly.
Image Intelligence for Easy Editing
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. uses powerful technology to make even the most complex results achievable for anyone. Adapted from Photoshop CS5's celebrated Content Aware Fill feature, the content intelligence in the Spot Healing Brush analyzes what's in the image and quickly de-clutters or repairs photos (like removing tourists from a crowded scene or an obstruction, such as a telephone pole) with a swipe of a brush, magically filling in the background. The same content intelligence synthesizes missing pixel information to create a stunning panorama from multiple photos, without leaving any gaps or blank spaces.
In addition, the new Photomerge Style Match turns drab photos dramatic by analyzing characteristics of any photo, such as contrast or color tone, and automatically applies those qualities to another photo, allowing users to easily replicate any photo style. Several new Guided Edit options walk users step-by-step through the process of achieving cool editing effects such as Out of Bounds, making an element of a photo appear to leap off the page in 3D, creating pop art masterpieces, or retouching made easy via the perfect portraits feature. In addition, users now have access to Layer Masks for compositing richly layered photos.
Organization Made Easy
For the first time, the popular Photoshop Elements Organizer is available on both the Windows and Mac platform, to help users quickly organize, find and display photo and video clips from one convenient location. The Auto-Analyzer takes the work out of finding the best shots by automatically searching a user's collection of photos and assigning a tag based on quality, such as lighting, focus or contrast. People Recognition also automatically creates People tags, so you can find your favorite people fast and it becomes more intelligent over time as it learns to associate specific faces with names.
Sharing Photos Virtually Anywhere
After users make their photos look better than ever, they have various sharing options, including posting photos directly to Facebook or creating one-of-a-kind interactive Online Albums with animated templates. In addition, users can share their memories with personalized photo creations like scrapbook pages, photo books, calendars and cards that can easily be printed from home or via online print service providers. The flexible photo creation workspace allows users complete control over how they design their photo books, by automatically placing photos within a template or providing access to any Photoshop Elements editing feature from directly within the layout mode.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Plus
For added convenience, now Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. Windows and Mac users have the option to purchase Plus, which offers 20GB of storage for automatic online backup and sharing (up to 15,000 photos or four hours of DVD-quality video), as well as ongoing deliveries of new tutorials, artwork and interactive online templates sent directly to the desktop software. A benefit to all Photoshop Elements users is virtually anywhere access to photos and videos online or via select mobile devices at Photoshop.com.
Pricing and Availability
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows and Mac is available now at www.adobe.com, and will also be available soon at retail outlets such as Amazon.com, Apple (Mac only), Best Buy, Costco, Fry's, New Egg, Office Depot, Office Max and Walmart. Photoshop Elements 9 Windows and Mac is available for a suggested retail price of US$99.99, and users can purchase Plus from within the product for US$49.99/year. Plus is available in the U.S. only. * Source: The NPD Group/Retail Tracking Service (April 2002 to March 2010) based on units sold (U.S. only).
Expanding Dynamic Range In Photoshop - Adapted From Rick Sammon's HDR Secrets for Digital Photographers
The following tutorial, Expanding Dynamic Range In Photoshop, was adapted from Rick Sammon's HDR Secrets for Digital Photographers.
Look ma! No HDR program or HDR plug-in! That’s right, HDR fans. This image was created in Photoshop with basic adjustments that were applied with adjustment layers. Sure, the dynamic range of the image was expanded. But compared to some of the other images in my book, the dynamic range of the actual scene was not very wide. Still, to achieve a realistic image, the dynamic range had to be expanded. What follows is an overview of the Photoshop process I used to create the image. Keep in mind that if the dynamic range of your scene is within three f/stops, you can manage it in Photoshop. If it’s greater than that, you really should use Photomatix.
I took this image at sunrise at South Tufa on Mono Lake in California. READ FULL Expanding Dynamic Range In Photoshop tutorial.

Cross Processing Action - Free Photoshop Cross Processing Effects
Download the Free Cross Processing Action. From the action page: Cross-processing, briefly, is a photographic technique where (usually) slide film (E6) is processed in the set of chemicals usually used to process print film (C41). (Less common is cross-processing in the other direction -- print film processed in slide film chemicals) The result is images with oddly skewed colors and increased contrast and saturation. The problem we're running into now, however, is that this process depends on shooting with film. What happens if you're one of the photographers who have made the jump to digital? Well, for those who use the digital like me, and like this technique, I created the Cross-Processing Action. I hope you enjoy it, as much as I do.

Create A Faux Holga Effect In Photoshop
The Holga is a cheap (US $30) plastic medium format film camera mass-produced in China. Originally manufactured in the early 80’s for the home consumption, it has now gained cult status amongst bohemian western photographers who are drawn to the grunge ‘art’ aesthetic. The camera represents the antithesis of everything that the modern digital camera manufacturers are striving to achieve. If you are looking for edge-to-edge sharpness and color-fidelity then give the Holga a very wide berth. If, however you are looking to create images that are full of ‘character’, but without the hassle of going back to film, then you may like to look into the wonderful, and weird, world of Holga-style imagery and give this Photoshop workflow a spin (no Holga required).
Getting tired of pin-sharp, noise-free, character-free images from your 24 Megapixel Pro DSLR?
Then try this grunge effect to give your images the toy camera aesthetic - think WEIRD – think GRUNGE, think ART! READ FULL TUTORIAL...
HTML5 and CSS3 In Dreamweaver CS5 – Part 1: Building The Web Page - Dreamweaver CS5 Tutorial
From the Adobe site: HTML5 and CSS3 in Dreamweaver CS5 – Part 1: Building the web page
by David Powers. (No prior knowledge of HTML5 or CSS3 is required, but you should have a good understanding of HTML 4.01 (or XHTML 1.0) and CSS2.1. Familiarity with the Dreamweaver user interface (UI) is assumed.)
Required products
Dreamweaver CS5 (Download trial)
Sample files
The 11.0.3 update of Dreamweaver CS5 incorporates native support for the new HTML5 structural elements and many of the CSS3 properties supported by the latest browsers. A major feature of the update is the Multiscreen Preview panel, which shows what your page looks like in devices with three different screen resolutions, such as a desktop, tablet device, and mobile phone. The Multiscreen Preview panel allows you to attach different style sheets to target each device using CSS3 media queries, so the same page is rendered in the most appropriate way for each audience. Design view and Live view also respond to media queries, displaying the relevant style sheet depending on the width of the Document window.
In this first part of this three-part tutorial series, you will explore the new HTML5 and CSS3 features in Dreamweaver CS5, and build an HTML5 web page for a fictional restaurant, Citrus Café. In Part 2, you'll style the page for desktop computers, using a combination of CSS3 and CSS2.1 properties. Part 3 demonstrates how to use the Multiscreen Preview panel to add CSS media queries to optimize the page for a tablet device and mobile phone.

Free Textures From Bittbox - Colorful Grunge
From Bittbox, some beautiful free colorful grunge textures. Here's the story: This is an experimental texture set that I made a couple of weeks ago, kind of nervous to see what kind of reaction it gets. The textures were made using the Gradient Map feature in Photoshop, along with some other color adjustments. I think they would work perfect for subtle website backgrounds, or overlayed onto poster designs or photographs for just a hint of texture. Let me know if you use them for anything cool, enjoy!
