Maybe you know it - you find an interesting tutorial, then get to read the others on that site, remember some old photos that should get your attention regarding the new possibilities you have. Before you know, a few days passed in a very pleasant editing mist and everything else is crying for you and I mean your house especially.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ok I'm exaggerating but not much. So I was rediscovering America . Or maybe not. Got this photo<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> - a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/cameras/samsung/digimax_401/">brave little digital camera,</a> not much of a light, no optical zoom; who could ask for more? Well, you always can ask for more - if you have the proper tone. Now seriously <a href="http://1image1000words.blogspot.com/2009/12/photoshop-log-not-quite-tutorial.html"><b style="color: #cc0000;">read more</b></a><br />
<a name='more'></a>as long as the photo isn't burnt white and has some information in it you can get if not all the detail then the moment's mood. That's what I learned in years of using a brave little digital camera (no optical zoom).<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

So you're not pleased...the lovely blue sky is bleached.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next step. Next step should be using Hystory Brush tool (Y) to paint over the sky and restore the blue color. As you can see there are some thin branches involved; if we paint over they will blackened. I was sure you don't want that. So we chose to select them with Select - Color range; again play with the slider a little. Invert the selection (Select - Inverse; Shift Ctrl I) and paint over the sky and the branches - remember, History Brush tool and enjoy the view of the blue sky reappearing. There you have it. <br />

Next Filter - Distort - Lens Correction - Vignette to darken the margins of the photo (Amount around -45 - -75 depending on how darken you want it to be).<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you think the effect is too strong you should lower layer Opacity. You knew that did you? Ok if , like me, you forgot to duplicate the layer before you begin to work? So duplicate it now(see photo) and chose new document; give it a name (2), hit ok. Return to the photo you worked on (1) and Alt Ctr Z to get back in time. Move the 2 on a new layer in 1 and work on the opacity until the DOF is subtle enough. Was better if you were hitting Ctr J in the begining I assure you. Here's your Fake DOF. I like it better this way - do you?<br />

</div>Nice interesting finds on <b style="color: purple;">flickr</b>. Vintage illustrations, photos or typecase. You'll find the terms of use in the profile section of each account. Have some time to spear if you want to see these - it's addictive .<br />

</div><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/depressionpress/">Depression Press' photostream</a> is an account on flickr with a large collection of typecase, graphic and illustrations. Interesting retro logos and I think he has also a print shop for anyone interested.</span></h1><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gatochy/sets/">Gatochy </a>has </span><br />

a huge collection of ads, sorted in sets : 1850-1919, 1920, 1930, 1940-1950 etc, illustrations, covers, comics, postcards, music sheets and some author sets. Check-up the Aubrey Beardsley set. No, check up everything. Fabulous!!<br />

A few Waterhouse a Bouguereau, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. And good old golden age movies actresses: Bette Davis, Elisabeth Taylor, Mary Pickford, Louise brooks in her <a href="http://vintage-spirit.blogspot.com/">Vintage Spirit</a> blog. Lots of .</span></h1><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Anne Anderson, Margaret Winifred Tarrant, Charles Folkard, Mabel Lucie Atwell, Mary Brooks. I'll pretend to have heard about ALL those children books Illustrators. Cinderella, SnowWhite, Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks... Flowers, dwarfs, fairies, bears and kitties... Wonderful children books scanned and published in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flamenconut/sets/">flamenconut</a>'s photostream. The books are meant for children from 5 to 75. Less or more.</span></h1><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Another great collection!! (I think I'll miss my superlatives soon). Fashion, cooking, DIY, children, comics (pulp fiction!!), vinyls, even fabric - all very vintage. Ephemera, cards and wrapping and More... This is <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chanadaal/sets/">Miss Retro Modern</a>'s collection and you should read her humorous comments to lighten your journey .</span></h1><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></h1><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">A Christmas wish collection very well organized on years: from 1942 to 2009. All those generations making their wish-list, trying to be good for Santa, it's touching and dizzying the same time.You have children comics and books, trading cards, Barbie catalogs, Disney maps and toys, and vinyl covers.

</span></h1><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajourneyroundmyskull/sets/">A journey round my skull</a> was named after Karinthy Frigyes's novel. Somehow different but no less valuable collection. Book covers (German, Polish, Slovakian, Turkish but also Japanese or Indian and even Psychedelic:p). And I'll pretend again to having heard about all of these artists (you notice the fact that I heard about SOME of them at least): Walter Schnackenberg, Rokuro Taniuki, Takeo Takei, Rilla Alexander, Joan Kiddell, Harry Clarke or Charles Selliger. A large quality collection. See also the <a href="http://ajourneyroundmyskull.blogspot.com/">blog</a>. </span></h1><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></h1><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Vintage wallpapers anyone?

</span></h1><h1 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">That's it: ten vintage illustrations accounts and a texture one. But if you're greedy and always ask for more, make your own search. Just go to each <b style="color: purple;">Profile </b>and check <b style="color: purple;">Contacts </b>and <b style="color: purple;">Favorites</b>. You know about <i>Birds of same Feather</i>... And if you find more interesting things - for sure you will - maybe you'll care to share here too. See ya!!<br />

Talking about collectibles - there is a subspecies of collector which just LOVES <br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">icons. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can find lots of on the big 3W if you really need it. Here's a good example on <a href="http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=icons">deviantART</a>. Or you might just <a href="http://images.google.ro/images?hl=ro&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&um=1&sa=1&q=icons&btnG=C%C4%83uta%C5%A3i+imagini&aq=f&oq=&start=0">Google </a>it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The problem with icons is some of them come in PNG format and you might want to pimp your desktop with them. Here comes this lovely tool (magic word added - Free) : <a href="http://www.convertico.com/">ConvertICO</a>. It does convert - online, and I'll repeat for you - free - any PNG to ICO. Or ICO to PNG by the way. Vista compatible icons, which is very thoughtful of the author and some Vista wallpapers to download.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to make your own personal thing, you may just check this post on <a href="http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/">Blog.Spoon Graphics</a> (great posts, just added to my <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs">bloglines </a>list). The title is <a href="http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/40-tutorials-for-creating-highly-detailed-icon-designs">40 Tutorials for Creating Highly Detailed Icon Designs</a>. I just had some very pleasant hours whit some of the tutorials here and photoshop. I'm not being original, I know, with those snowmen, anyway, here's a <a href="http://murgeanu.deviantart.com/art/snowmen-feed-icons-144272440">download </a>link for the PNGs in 512, 256 and 128 px size. The convert tool is at a click step if you want to use one of them. Winter is close now...Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!</div><h2 style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />

This is a MUST!! The <a href="http://www.webdevforums.com/index.php">forum </a><br />
itself should be visited . It's about web design and covers the large aria of <b> <span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Graphic Design, Web Development discussions. But what stroke <a name='more'></a>me was the large list of </span></b>links for Graphics Designers, Web Designers (Flash, Logo Designers, Photoshop, CorelDraw etc), Web Developers (PHP, MySQL, SQL, ASP, JAVA, Perl, CGI, JSP, ColdFusion etc), Freelancers, Data Entery Operators. Now this is (again) an old topic (began in 2004...whoa!!) but still open and people keep posting.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">Digging in my old Google Notebook brings pleasant surprises. Some of you might know </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="text-align: justify;">one cannot use the browsers extension of Google Notebook anymore and this was quite frustrating. It was as simple like a right click to save an interesting link and make notes about. An easy way to organize and find places on web and better than bookmarks.<br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
I was thinking I'm loosing my collection but found the solving right in it. The name is <a href="http://www.zoho.com/">Zoho </a>and in minutes I transfered the content in a shiny new <a href="http://notebook.zoho.com/nb/login.do?serviceurl=%2Fnb%2Findex.do">Zoho Notebook</a> and got also a shiny new browser extension. Which allows me that with a simple right click to add pages or selections to the notes. Not to mention the organizing or sharing features.Sometimes it's not hard to be happy.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
I have (and you should too ) check up others features of Zoho. And there's plenty of them. I read a review about their zoho mail. It says it's a happy mixture of Yahoo (but no ads) and Gmail with a clear interface and good tools. Most certainly it will prove true.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
What about: <i><a href="http://writer.zoho.com/home?serviceurl=%2Findex.do">online word processor</a>, <a href="http://show.zoho.com/login.do">presentation tools</a>, <a href="http://chat.zoho.com/login.jsp?serviceurl=%2Fmpchat.do">instant messaging and chat</a>, <a href="http://planner.zoho.com/login?serviceurl=%2Flogin.do">planner</a></i>. There's more.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It looks like a great solution for small business but also for simple users like me (and you? :)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wait - I told you it's a recent discovery, I'm still checking in (and will ): Zoho on <i><a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2380274266">Facebook</a></i>, on <i><a href="http://www.zoho.com/mobile/index.html">Mobile </a></i>and...and.... <a href="http://gadgets.zoho.com/zc/index.do"><i>Gadgets </i></a>. Do you like gadgets...you do, hey. It's a Zoho world, let's explore!!<br />

You know, old music you want to keep, for it's close to your heart and is an important part of your life. Or it's close to an important part of your life? whatever...<br />
</div><span style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
Well then this is a software you'll love. For one - hear the magic word:<br />
<a name='more'></a> it's free; and easy to handle. But let's hear editor's word: "this powerful, free, Open Source tool can record sound and music as well as edit it, so you'll want to start off recording your audio". Yeah I know I was talking vinyls. It's what I used <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,22513/description.html"><b>Audacity </b></a>for. Digitised some of it; and some for a friend. And as I'm not a technical person, records got pauses, noise etc. Which I got rid of using Audacity.<br />
<br />
If you want to make your own music, it can add several dozen sound effects and has a powerful mixer; you can use fades and other effects, and mix an unlimited number of tracks. You'll even be able to create your own "soundscapes" by generating sounds and mixing them. (courtesy of <i><a href="http://www.pcworld.com/">PCWorld Magazine</a></i>)<br />

It's simple and it's quick...it's <a href="http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php"><b>Google PageRank Checker</b></a>. You get a code to embed it in your website (or blog) if you're interested. And visitors could check page rank from YOUR site.<br />
<br />
Sounds good but <br />
<a name='more'></a>I'll think about twice. Since I tend to pile up all sort of web things on my pages. And this is not good for loading pages . I have favorite sites I avoid to visit because the awfully low loading speed. Man doesn't it repeats zillion times a day here on big 3w: do not overload with flash, I came here for your content; if you keep blinking and flashing to me I'll just go away. After all, there's lot of amazing content out there.<br />
</span ><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
This isn't the case with that little code I was talking about; it's quiet and useful and not blinking. Sorry, I got carried away.<br />
