Find Out How To Use Photoshop CS4 & Other Programs

July 3, 2009

IPA has published many software reviews in the past, but now has began to publish new software Tips and Tricks in our Reviews Section of our site.

We now have three new senior staff members that will help our members learn more about using some of these top photo editing programs. Our new direction, we hope will be a welcome addition to our web site and to our members and visitors.

One of our new articles will teach you how to use Photoshop CS4's Filter Gallery and Smart Filters to get pictures like this one. (Photoshop's Diffuse Glow Filter)

Would you like to shoot a photo like this, but make it even more spectacular by using Photoshop or Photomatix HDR software to create a High Dynamic Range image? Well Gavin Phillips, IPA senior staff member will show you how.

We will also show you how to make spectacular panoramic shots with nothing more then your current digital camera and Photoshop CS4, it is relatively easy and fast and you will be amazed at the results.

Visit our Reviews section now and in the future and find out about some of the best software in the market and how to use it.
