SiteGrinder 2 — Photoshop Plugin Review
Review by Jennifer Apple
 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 2 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 2, 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.

Machine Wash Filters FAQ
What applications can I use these filters in?
These filters have been developed and tested for use with Adobe Photoshop 6.0 to the current CS3 version as well as now supporting Photoshop Elements 1.0 and higher.
 When I apply the filter, is it undoable?
Yes it is! While the wash effect will be applied to your original image, by using the Undo command or the Photoshop History palette, you can undo the wash effect.
How do I get the cool rusted background effect?
Within the plug-in interface, there is a Heavy Cycle option which will create a rust coloration effect underneath the distressed design. You can easily customize the coloration of the rust to your choosing by way of clicking the foreground and background rust colors to pull up a color picker.
Are the filters customizable?
You can use any number of additional built-in Photoshop effects to modify the filters once they're applied, We've created a bonus online forum with sections that teach you how to extend the range of effects these filters can create and modify the look of the wash effects.

AutoFX PhotoGraphic Edges - Review
Review by Jennifer Apple
A few years ago I was in charge of putting together a monthly film magazine and I was constantly looking for ways to make the pages look more visually appealing. Photo/Graphic Edges came to the rescue! I could select a frame or edge, make a couple of quick tweaks, and suddenly I had a highly stylized photo to drop into the layout.
To show the various effects of Photo/Graphic Edges I've used just one single image. This will make it easier to see just how much the mood and feeling of a photo can be changed by incorporating different edges and frames.
