The
Photographers Right - Your rights as a photographer - .pdf file
A comprehensive listing of Photoshop tips,
tricks,
tutorials,
plug-ins, actions, workflow and more mostly culled from DPReview's Retouching Forum. The emphasis of this
site is on retouching. I am now expanding the list to include basic Digital
Photography info as well as specific categories of Digital Photography such as
Nature, Landscape and portrait photography. Most but not all of this info is
free. This list will be continually updated for the next few months. It will be
indexed by subject and finely honed but will remain a simple site of links to
easily navigate (hopefully). Your additions, suggestions and help openly
solicited. Please advise of any bad or improper links.
I want to thank the many wonderful
contributors on the Retouching Forum and others that contributed to
the existence of this index. I have contributed little except to compile these
links to some really wonderful Photoshop info.
Thanks to all who contributed to
make this guide possible
