Many new Widgets are showing up daily and I suspect will continue to appear for a long, long time. Most

of these are free. A few are demos and a few are shareware. No one site will have all the widgets and most likely there is some duplication between sites.

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
