If you’ve been looking for ways to get more creative with your photos in Photoshop, this may be just the practice you need. Kollabor8 is an “experiment in online collaborative digital image making.” Basically, it’s like the game “telephone”, but for pictures. The game unfolds as players take turns making changes to an image. Anyone can upload an image to start a new “chain”, and others can add to the chain by editing the image and uploading their version. Some changes are iterative, while others alter the image until it’s nearly unrecognizable. A great way to flex your Photoshop muscle and get thinking creatively. Kollabor8Â |
Yes folks, it’s Photoshop time.|
Thanks to Gursky, small is out and BIG is in. And if you’re like us, you were tired of small anyway. It’s simple: Upload your JPG file to the Rasterbator and it spits back a printer-friendly PDF. Use your trusty, or crummy, inkjet (or better yet, your work laser printer) and a few minutes later you’re holding a Rasterbated bundle of sheets ready for assembly into one chic wall mural. Take that, small. The Rasterbator p.s. Need a little inspiration? Check out the Rasterbator tag on Flickr. The photo you see above was rasterbated by Shannon Holman. Thanks, Shannon! |
Not since we used PrintShop for our Commodore 64 has mural printing been this addictive. The Rasterbator is a website that makes printing your photographs HUGE way easier (and way cheaper) than the print jockeys at your local copy shop.|
Thanks to Becky, now you can join the “fun” and play Suduko online. With your photos! Becky’s game uses photographs instead of numbers, and allows you to create your own puzzle by choosing from your photos or those of anyone else (as long as they’re on Flickr.) You can even select the level of difficulty, send your Suduko to a friend, or save a game and come back to it later. The epidemic spreads… Becky’s Photo Sudoku |
Across the globe, millions of people are spending their mornings quietly writing numbers into tiny little boxes, erasing those numbers, then writing new ones.|
Say what? Yeah, seriously. Commisioned artwork is no longer just for aristocrats. In fact, you can commission your very own ink, pencil, or watercolor sketch today, for only ONE DOLLAR. It’s a snap:
As Scott says: “Print it out. Color it. Use it as your next avatar. It’s up to you. It’s the hot new thang — a Sketch-it sketch. Tell your friends.” It’s better than anything you’ll find at the dollar store. We guarantee it. Sketch-It — Custom Sketches for a buck! See also… |
The almighty dollar doesn’t go as far as it once did, but many of life’s pleasures can still be had for a buck: a candy bar, a cold soda on a hot day, a portrait commissioned by a talented artist…|
Exposure Compensation? User Selectable Metering Modes? Did you forget to show up for Digital Demystification 101? Yeah, so did Photojojo. Lucky for both of us, the fine lads at photonotes.org took notes and they’ve put together two amazing tools to help you figure out those tiny hunks of plastic and silicon. Tool #1: Think of it as the Rosetta Stone for digital cameras. On a single page, you’ll see dozens upon dozens of camera screen symbols and their meanings. Don’t know what that square with the three squares stacked behind it means? Just scroll through the page until you see the icon that’s got your goat. Tool #2: The photo terms dictionary. Look up “Dioptric adjustment”, the Rule of Thirds, or anything else that’s been vexing you. We bet our bottom dollar, it’s in there. Digital Camera Symbols, Demystified! See also… |
