Create a Typography Based Blog Design in Photoshop
The tutorial posts where I go through the process of creating a complete WordPress theme from Photoshop concept right through to coding the template files always go down well, so let’s start with another tutorial series based on my latest WordPress theme design. Follow this tutorial where we’ll lay out a typography based blog design over a strict underlying grid, then stay tuned for the next tutorials where we’ll build the concept into a HTML5 prototype then finish it off as a fully working WordPress theme. The WordPress theme we’ll be creating this time is called Typo. It’s a design that’s entirely based on typography to allow the content to shine. To allow the design to work without the use of any graphical interface elements it will be based on a strict grid to balance the design and tie everything together.

My recent tutorial about creating pattern backgrounds sparked some questions from readers if I could do the same for something that is referred to as “grunge”. The pattern tool is ok for repeating items but the grunge look gets it effectiveness just from the randomness I think. So I think it would be better if I show you how to make a grunge brush instead. I know several of those are available for download but there is nothing more rewarding then creating your own :)

Photoshop, école de l’image
Photoshop a vingt ans. Peut-être plus que les appareils photonumériques, c’est ce logiciel qui a incarné la rupture majeure engagée par la révolution de l’image digitale. Pour la première fois, la photographie perdait visiblement son statut de garant de l’authenticité de la représentation.
This Photoshop tutorial will show you how to beautify a face. The corrections that we're going to do will make the face look different, but at the same time we avoid to make the results look unnatural like we tend to see in other Photoshop tutorials. Of course, the face we're going to work on is not going to look the same when we're done, but we will only make necessary and subtle changes.

I’ve often been asked about my process for tweaking photos. I thought I’d use one of my favorite photos and show how I took it from initial capture to final public display. I had forgotten how far I had taken this image from its initial capture: click image to see larger version As with all tools, there are many ways to accomplish the same thing.
How to Turn an Ordinary Photo Into an Extraordinary Photo
Open the image or photograph, then duplicate a layer and turn it off so you have a safe copy. Next we need to remove the colour from the image. In the photoshop menu at the top of the screen go to 'Image > Adjust > Desaturate' or (shift + Ctrl + U) on the keyboard. This will remove all the colour information from the selected layer. You should now have a greyscale image. Next we need to colourize the desaturated layer and add some colour to it.
Aging Photographs using Photoshop
The following photoshop tutorial was submitted by one of our Forum members – Floris who took an image that another of our forum members submitted and did some photoshopping on it (with permission of the other member). I hope you find it a useful tutorial. We’ve all experienced it, maybe only once, maybe 10 or even 100 times: Looking at a photograph you took, and think: “pity, wish I could change the colors a bit, or frame it a bit to the right.” Sometime you can go back an try another shot, but thats not always possible.
