 As of late there has not been much action going on with the Tenacious Creations site. Other projects and hobbies have place constraints on my time. Unfortunately Tenacious Creations has kind of been left out in the cold.

 But as another year comes to an end it is time to take a look back at some of the most popular posts of the year.

  • Morphing Animals was by far the most popular post this year. This tutorial walks you through the steps of morphing one object to another.
  • Creating Sexy Glamour Photo was the number two most popular post. This post is a series of posts on walking the photo shop user through some of the steps used to make an ordinary portrait into a glamour magazine type photo.
  • Peeling Skin away to Reveal an Image Beneath – Although this tutorial was published in 2007 it once again received a lot of views putting it in the third spot. This is my favorite tutorial. You take an image of a face and make it look cracked and distorted, with flakes peeling off to reveal a circuit board image beneath.
  •  These were the top three posts of 2008. I am hoping to get some new posts happening in 2009. However as with most New Years resolutions this one may get broken before it is started.

     Thank you to all who have read and commented on my posts through out 2008, I wish you a prosperous New Year and I hope you will continue to rad my posts for 2009.

     Well it is time for the weekly photoshop post on Tenacious Creations. Filters and Actions are tools a photoshop artist can use to speed up their production. Although all the things that actions and filters can do can be done manually with photoshop (and most times a better result is achieved). Filters and Actions can greatly reduce the amount of time required to do these things.

     There are some things that I find just so much easier to use filters or actions for and some cases where I would prefer to do it by hand. I have a mix of bought filters and actions as well as free ones. Here is a list of sites of actions and filters that I find useful.

    16 Great Photoshop Tutorial Sites

    by TractorJack on 1/27/2008

    in Photoshop

     I frequently get asked what web sites I use as resources when I use Adobe photo shop and if I can pass them along. Well the truth is I have over two hundred different sites book marked in my photoshop resources folder. Now some contain multiple different tutorials and some are just photoshopped images that I use as reference. So to pass these one would be quite useless.

     Instead I thought I would present a list of sites I submit my tutorials too after I write them. Now this is only a partial list, but these sites have many tutorials listed. In some cases the tutorials may be repeated from site to site. That is because other photo shop tutorial publishers like myself tend to submit their tutorials to all these sites. Any ways lets get on with the list.
