The James Bond Team Wasn’t Happy About This Photoshopped Picture
From the memorable part of Skyfall, Redditor, Phantom Pepper, put this retouched piece of his on their fan page. Apparently, they weren’t too happy about it.
“How in the hell could she do that? “
“You got to thumb it.”

If Classic Video Game Characters Were Placed In Real Life
It’s like your memories, but more epic. If you could upgrade your memories of these games, this would be how you would do it right.
Art by Aled Lewis.
“A mash-up of video game characters and photographic scenes. As a kid I would become completely immersed in there crude pixel environments and they would seem very real! I thought it would be fun to try to express how gamers see these worlds. I spent many hours gaming with my siblings and friends when I was growing up and this aesthetic has really come to represent that time.”

FAQ: Can you recommend an alternative to Photoshop?
Currently, you have two main options that you could go with:
1. Photoshop Elements 11 ($70, depending on where you look)
2. GIMP (Free)
The best part about each option is you can download them for FREE to visually compare the pros and cons of each, as no list truly sums that up. Photoshop Elements and the standard Photoshop can be downloaded for free as a trial. Gimp is free to use forever.
I have personally never used both and cannot give you a first hand account, however even prior to reading about the differences, I would download them quickly to see for myself.
You can also see a lot of literature about these programs through their websites as well as Googling keywords such as “Gimp vs Photoshop”, “Gimp vs Elements” etc.
Have fun!

Coincidentally, I started on PSP before Photoshop, I am glad they are still making the software!

David Hockney talks about how Photoshop has made photography so dull, especially in recent magazines. It takes the soul out of the photograph and makes the images boring and stale.
Do you believe he has a good point?

How To Add Freckles In Photoshop
Elena Jasic is a fashion photographer with an interesting and useful tutorial. Here’s how to add freckles in Photoshop.
The brush can be downloaded here.
I would use this in a situation where someone may already have freckles and you wanted an enhanced cluster. Do be careful with overdoing it, I can see this technique being distastefully done in the wrong hands.
