"Adobe Photoshop Your Ticket to Big Bucks in Graphic Design"

Graphic design has always been big business but with the explosive growth of the Internet graphic designers are experiencing increased demand for their services.

Every business needs a web site to be successful in today’s business environment and every web site needs graphic design in the form of logos and web graphics.

There has never been a better time to get into the graphic design business and the best part is all you need to get started is desire, Adobe Photoshop, and some training on how to use Adobe Photoshop to create stunning web graphics that sell.

Photoshop, Adobe’s digital photo editing and graphic design powerhouse, is capable of creating professional quality logos and designs that will allow you to compete with professional designers for graphic design business.

There are many software applications available that advertise the ability to produce high quality graphics and logos.

These applications can range in price from $30.00 and up. The problem with many of these applications is that they use pre designed templates which the user pieces together to form logos that really are not that original and sometimes appear a little generic.

While these applications allow the user to quickly begin creating graphic designs and logos they often simply do not produce designs that are original and in demand by web design clients.

If you take the time to learn adobe Photoshop there will be no limit to the logos and graphic designs you can put together.

Although the interface can seem a little overwhelming at first, learning Photoshop is not difficult if you have the right tools and take the time to practice.

Taking the time to properly learn to use Photoshop will pay off in the end. Pick up a copy of a good video based Photoshop tutorial and you will be on your way to making big bucks in the graphic design industry.

D700 vs D300. An ultimate choice to upgrade after D50

With new Canon EOS50D and the Ultimate 5D mark II in the market, a lot of people like to compare them with Nikon D300 and D700 respectively. Since I am a Nikon user, I do my best noy\t to switch system since its gonna cost me a bomb. Anyway I am looking forward to change a new camera though. My Nikon D50 is dying soon. Its time for me to retire it cos since 2005, I have taken more than 40,000 clicks. Although its not much compare to a professional usage, I got to say my camera starts to make that strange noise ever time I took a shot. Now the plan is December 2009. I got a choice of D300 or D700 (due to my range of lens). I am using those old lens and some of it cant be use with the lower range probably including the D90 and D5000. Anyway my budget is about 3k. So..... going thru the specs review in nikon.com.sg I got to say D700 is very tempting. But the only thing is that it uses FX format (full-frame). I can't afford its compatible lenses. Next I look at the D300 which are more popular ones. Like I say, I look at the specs and sees no diff among the two. Accept for the sensors. You can look at the specs here http://nikon.com.sg/compareproductitems.php?p=1257-63bae4a413,1187-59711d5d33

Anyway, D300 is much more cheaper and an ideal way to upgrade from my D50. Besides after that I can tell the missus to upgrade some more.hehehe

Open Source software that helps photographer

Getting started in photography is not simply just buy a camera and click away. Of course if you just want to do it for archiving fond memories will be just fine. When we buy a new digital camera, it is normal that the company brand give a free software that will help you in basic editing like framing, crop, resizing and simple tweaks of the images. But if you are really passionate in photography and are very progressive then the only thing that will hinder your progress is having very good advance software that can produce high quality post editing such as from leveling to cloning. This will set you back from a couple of hundreds to thousand of dollars. Softwares like Nik Sharpener, Noise Ninja, Aperture, Adobe Creative Suite, CaptureNX and other licensed plugins. Though this software are very very good, they can actually durnt your pockets. Myself too needed something cheap or free to enjoy this benefits to upgrade your photography skills. For me open sourced software is the way to go. I enjoy using most of this 'free' software as even to got all these professional benefit can really cos a 'bomb'. Though they are not as very good as the licensed software, they can still provide excellent result

Currently, most of my work is done by using this few inages.

• Gimp http://www.gimp.org (close to a photoshop)
• Resizer http://snapfiles.com (watermarks)
• Qtpsfigui http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/ (HDR)
• Nikon Transfer http://nikon.com.sg (image uploading)
• NikonView http://nikon.com.sg (image browser)
• Photo Filtre http://photofiltre.free.fr/ (another version similar to photoshop)

Check my images at sofimages blog at http://sofimages.blogspot.com or go to my stock portfolio at Istockphoto.com/rumblefis All my images here are using open sourced software. Of course once I have enough of capital, I will definitely upgrade.
