Just a quickie here, and then I need to get back to work: For the next 30 days, Sitepoint is giving away PDF copies of The Photoshop Anthology. I just downloaded this, and it’s a damn fine Photoshop book, particularly for the price! Check it out!
On Feb. 19, 1990, Photoshop 1.0 shipped! Folks over at PhotoshopNews.com have shared their “where were you when” stories. Me? I was in college at the time, attending the University of Oklahoma. I had just switched over from pursuing a degree in architecture to a BFA in graphic design. It would still be a couple of years before I was really exposed to it, though, as I was still deeply into a lot of other traditional fine arts courses like painting and life drawing at the time. The most important of which was probably my painting class, because that’s where I met my wife… and as it so happens, February of 1990 is when we first started dating. So on this day in 1990, I can say with a reasonable amount of accuracy that if I wasn’t with her I was certainly thinking about her!
Photoshop 1.0 wasn’t even a blip on my radar, funnily enough; 2.0 was where I first jumped on board, and 3.0 was the first copy my wife and I purchased. We still have it in the original box.
Corey Barker, the Photoshop Laddie, has a tutorial up at Planet Photoshop on how to create folds and creases in an image. In this case he used a map, so naturally I glommed right on to it, but of course you can use it for other things to. (But why would you?)
Now that 10 Towns & Villages is out, I’ve started working on 10 Cities. Here’s a quick screenshot of the work in progress!
