Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

What is it about clients that makes them think that Photoshop turns them into gods? We’re doing a catalog for a client and the request was “turn the water in the glasses into wine, please.”

If you can make it really good wine then you may have to change your avatar

…at least they didn’t ask you to make someone walk on water.

I’ve found that society kind of claims all special affects as “Photoshoped” and many of my friends believe that because I own a copy of Photoshop I can do anything to a photo that they give me….

Sure, but first we’ll turn your contract with us into bathroom tissue.

Its a doable request but it is more along the lines of digital art, not design and development.

I had a teacher who writes the Photoshop Saavy books in college. He did some truly amazing and unbelievable things with photoshop. Things that even skeptics would look at and believe.

Hah, I had no idea this post would get so many comments… but I suppose it is a funny remark. Surprisingly, not many of our clients read our blog. Oh well, a big shout out to any that do. We love you.
