I’d Rather Be… – Weekly Photo Challenge

It doesn't matter what we're doing, we all have something we'd rather be doing to pass the time.

Photoshop Actions – Photoshop Friday

With just a click of a button and the blink of an eye, your desired photo effects will appear. It really is almost that simple. And I only say 'almost' because you have to make the action before you can apply it to your image. For starters, some of you might be wondering just what …
