Latest Update!
With adobe's major release of Photoshop CS4, I wanted to let everyone know that all my products are
compatible with CS4. So you can feel confident to purchase any of my preset
packages and know they will work with CS4 (both extended and standard, MAC and PC).
Update!
Be on the lookout for my latest article in Photoshop Creative magazine Issue 32:
Creating your own Custom CD Insert. In this issue I go through the process of creating a homemade multi-page CD insert that fits into a
standard size jewel case. It should be on the stands in the U.K. in the next few weeks and in the U.S. within a month or so.
I have also been working on a new Photo Toolkit bundle, as well as some other exciting Photoshop add-ons that are optimized for CS3. It will
take some time, but in a few months that will be available as well.
