OK, now for some non-Photoshop related news. iStockDiary has setup something similar to Tutorial9’s “School of Photoshop,” it’s a Learn Illustrator CS3 in 30 Days crash course. Currently there are only 3 days of learning up, but I hope not to be disappointed and iStockDiary follows through with the rest of the course!
I myself have been wanting to learn more Illustrator, and now I’m gonna
If you’re a beginner with Illustrator, this is where you start.
OK, so some of you may have noticed there is a lack of new tutorials around here. Well, you’re right. I haven’t been able to provide new Photoshop tutorials as well as I used to for a while now, and I’m sorry about that.
I have two drafts in the works and I want to complete them, but sometimes I just can’t.
In the meantime, if you want some better reading material, please check out PSDTUTS and Tutorial9, they will never let you down
I have started a smaller blog on which I can just post smaller articles about design news and the like, rather than much larger Photoshop tutorials (what I do with PhotoshopStar, which is much more difficult). You can view this new Blog at Design Blurb.
Thanks for reading guys.

I also wanted to say I’ll try get some more tutorials up soon, and that I’ve also already redesigned the comments for the new theme, I realized that there really was no improvements on the previous comments layout.
So yeah, will try and get on these things soon.

In celebration of our 2nd anniversary, PhotoshopStar has received a design facelift!
As you can see it’s very similar to the previous one, in fact it’s like a new layout based on the old design (style, etc). We’ve got a fair amount of new features in this design though, so here’s the short list I’ve compiled:
OK, so I said it was a short list! It’s still nicer, right?
I would now love to hear suggestions, comments, critique, and bug reports from my valued readers! I’m now going to go and make sure everything is working properly.
Photoshop birthday party coming soon! Prizes and stuff.
Hi all, just a little treat for ya. If you’re interested in grunge-style wallpapers and my little blog at all, you may be interested in these grunge-themed PhotoshopStar wallpapers!
I needed a fresh wallpaper so I whipped this up, and since it looked pretty nice I thought I’d share.
I would have included the PSD file for the wallpaper so you could have a poke around, but it ended up being 35mb zipped, so I couldn’t exactly upload that with ease!
You might notice some nice splatters in the background, for these I used a brush set by Bittbox. I also used a bunch of random textures that you should be able to find on websites such as CG Textures.

Hi guys, just letting you all know that the folks people over at SitePoint are giving away the Photoshop Anthology (digital format), at no cost.
This offer is only standing for the next 18 days, so you had better get downloadin’.
As far as SitePoint books go, I’ve only bought one once before: the hard copy of The Principles of Beautiful Web Design, and I have to say their stuff is top notch.
Here’s a couple of nice Photoshop video tutorials that you guys might like to check out! Hopefully I’ll have some more new content up in the next few weeks as well!
Learn the Basics of Curves
Very important tutorial. Curves are great for adjusting your photos and art works.
Digital Makeup with Photoshop (part 1)
Although girls don’t always need their faces beautified, this one may come in handy in case you’re ever working as the Photoshop expert for a magazine
Using Layers for Effects
Very interesting tutorial, particularly helpful for the newbies learning new effects.
Using the Extract Filter
Personally I don’t vouch for the extract filter, as I find the Pen Tool much better for cutting objects out, but you may find this good as a beginners option.
Aqua “Sphere” Effect
Interesting interface design.
Toning & Burning
Interesting, old-timey effect to add to your photos.
Turn a Photo into a Sketch
Very cool photo effect
CGing Manga using Photoshop
Please note: The author of the above tutorial has told us that the audio quality is very low, so you may need to turn up your volume.
Quickly & Easily Change Hair Color
A must-watch video tutorial if you’re a learning photo manipulator!
Creating a new Planet with Photoshop
Love this effect because it reminds me of the Heroes intro!
Do you know of any more great video tutorials? Please be sure to leave a comment with the link below!
I wanted to choose the winners judging by if they would use the subs to their fullest extent, so I looked at how active the users were. The winners I’ve come up with:
I decided to throw in a 3-month and a 1-month subscription as well
