My Photoshop Actions journalMore Like ThisWhat are photoshop actions?
Photoshop Actions are the recordings of commands that can be applied to one image or multiple images in photoshop. When you press play, it applies these recorded commands. These recorded commands are edit effects you can create in photoshop, think about changing the colors, adding more contrast or brightness to spice up your pictures! Using a photoshop action save a lot of time for the editing process of your photo.Version #07 is up! Not only the previews are updated, but the actions as well. Now it's much easier to adjust the action to your picture.
After you applied the action, you can easily set the opacity of each layer or just of the whole coloring. Hope you like this new experience. Have fun! =lieveheersbeestje

Photography Troubleshooting:How to Photograph FoodMany of us lament about a lack of subjects to Photograph - and almost just as many of us create something on a daily basis that with a bit of presentation, can look like a masterpiece. Food is one of the most accessible Photographic subjects and if you've no idea where to start, hopefully this article will give you a few pointers. Firstly, you don't need an expensive D-SLR in order to capture some of the food masterpieces you see around.More Like This

Since I have finished one of my projects, here is the contest that I promised!
All right. So, I'm really missing Everlasting Snow. I often find myself going back and reading chapters, doodling in my notebooks, and so on and so forth. I'm also constantly finding myself indulging in all things RotG (moreso than usual x3). Not to mention myobsessioninterest in Jack Frost getting all the stronger. I think it's something to do with the gorgeous, golden-glowing full moon that's been out lately. MiM must be happy. Not to mention, my body temperature is getting increasingly colder as the days pass, and I'm not sick in any way or form, plus I'm noticing more and more things that Jack and I have in common (not to mention that my outward appearance is basically a genderbent version of human Jack). It's fun to go torment people with my exceptionally cold touch. Mwahaha.

We are surrounded 24 hours a day by objects that have texture, they may be smooth or bobbly, old or new, bold, bright, shiny or dull. You might see a texture every day and never notice it until you start looking. Do you sit at a desk that's textured, or pass an interesting tree on the way to work or school?
We want you, in the form of a triptych (thats 3 images forming a larger image see example here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptych ) to tell us the story of your textured world. Each individual texture should stand on its own, both as a useful resource and as a cohesive part of the whole story. What story you tell through your texture triptych is up to you - but they must be textures that tell a story of your world in some way.

What a roller coaster rideLooks like the deviantART staff had fun with the popular ranking algorithm againMore Like This
One thing I do notice is that my deviations only get about 1/3 of the views within 24 hours that they used to get. What they seem to have done is that now they do not look at the overall popularity of the deviation, but rather at the momentarily popularity within a quite short amount of time as well as the age of the deviation. It seems like when a deviation is getting a lot of attention and a lot of people are favving, commenting and viewing the deviation, it gets boosted to the front page, especially if it's close to the 8 hour mark. If the attention stops some, it drops down to page 4 or 5 just as quickly.
Overall, the number of favs the deviations are getting and the overall exposure dropped immensely, which is most likely also because they have changed the default view at the front page from popular 8 hours to popular 24 hours. And it seems to be nearly impossible to get to the 24h front page anymo
[Recipe Challenge]- 3 recipes - choose one!Hey there!More Like This
We let you wait a whole month for the next recipes, and that had a good reason... two actually!
First, I'm having exams in a week, so I used the last month to study and do all things school.
Second, my best friend and I were inviting some friends over to have dinner with us, and we cooked a 3-course dinner for them.
Which means, this recipe challenge will be different from the ones before!
You will have all 3 recipes/courses to choose from, cook the chosen meal and take photos of it to win awesome prizes!
Now on to the recipes! (Each recipe and step-by-step directions can be found by clicking on the thumbnail!)
Starter: Bruschetta triangles and greek salad
Main Dish: Vegetable peanut curry with rice
Dessert: Lemontarte and strawberry icecreamNow have fun and let the photos roll!

On the heels of the no-editing, no-poetry silence let's recapture our words mid-arabesque--and then hilariously beat them down to nice respectable pliés while that one leg's still stretched backward. #confessional-poetry and a mangled cast of extras present:More Like This
