cool photoshop and design tutorials

Like them or not, flowers are a huge part of current design trends. Open any mainstream design magazine and you’ll surely find them plastered everywhere, not to mention the web, as well as TV commercials and the advertising industry. I’ve put together a few detailed vector flowers for you to use in your designs and experiment with. Because of the detail in these vectors, it allows you to pick them apart and make more complex designs, from just a few simple vectors. The example below is made from only 3 flowers.

Why do my images appear washed out when I use Save for Web?

I've recently begun using Photoshop CS3 and noticed that all of my saved 'Save for Web and Devices' jpgs were coming out differently than they looked in my workspace. I always disable colour management as I don't do any print work and I believe the simplest method for web development and design is to work in my monitor's colour working space. This was working fine in CS2 but for some reason my jpgs were looking different when I'd saved them. I discovered a setting in Save for Web and Devices that is on by default and converts the output to the sRGB profile before saving.

Any ideas on why this is happening? Is this a sign from above to upgrade to the newest version of Photoshop? I can't think of why there would be so much loss (some is expected).

This professional printing workflow tutorial is to JumpStart the Adobe Photoshop, Epson, ColorSync, Color Management BASICS in my lay style for lay Mac users (like me).

Color Management starts with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on screen), and Color Management ends with a good target profile to PROOF the color accurately on the print (in a printing workflow).

Why color changes when Save for Web, ImageReady, and or the internet?
