Naldz Graphics has a list of Photoshop actions to enhance photos. I use the Lightroom route to process photos, but some actions can be good to have in Photoshop for inspiration or just playing around.

Smashing Magazine has a great article on the Pen tool. I haven't gone through it yet, but the pen tool is one of the most useful and misunderstood tools to use. Lots of helpful info in this.

Photography – Noise Reduction

Michael Doyle — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:34:33 +0000

Neat Image is a noise reduction program which works by a camera's profile and then making different profiles for each different ISO settings for that camera. It can work as a photoshop plugin too. Sounds really interesting and I've seen some examples. I'll give it a shot and see how it works and post up before and after shots. It'll be interesting to see how it works with ISO 400+ on a Canon G9.

I mentioned previously that sixrevisions.com gave a good tutorial on how to create the Web 2.0 look in photoshop. They've now followed up on that article with a tutorial on how to code it in CSS and XHTML.

One concern about this tutorial is the heavy reliance on images for the design rather than CSS.
