Adobe Photoshop – Cambria, Bookmark Old Style – Texture from smashingmagazine.com – Holy Eucharist picture from lifeteen.com

Photoshop-ing an image can means many thing, from photo retouch, sophisticated manipulation to simple crop-resize job. The word originally came from name of a software (Adobe Photoshop, duh) which quickly deemed as a standard tool in the industry. It is a ‘prosumer’ level software used by artist, web designer, photographer, anyone from amateur, enthusiast to professionals. The features come to a price though, the cheapest distribution for Photoshop CS4 ranges from $199-$399 (student prices). And for others, photoshop cost you at least $699. If you want to get all the bells and whistle – then you need to pay $999. Photoshop comes with awesome features, but unless you’re a professional, most probably you won’t ever need them. Adobe comes up with the ‘consumer’ level software Adobe Photoshop Elements which only cost you $99.

Here’s some great “photoshop-ing” alternatives if  (like me) you think $99 is still too costly:

GIMP and Aviary

• GIMP - yes, open source! Originally came from Unix world, it became so popular that its now released on all major platform. A good and free photoshop alternatives, but the interface and work-steps can be confusing if you’re already so used to Photoshop.
• Aviary.com – serve “advanced hobbyist creators”. They are awesome web applications. Phoenix is a great Photoshop alternative, Raven is for vector / Adobe Illustrator alternative, Peacock is a revolutionary tool – must try, Toucan is similar to Adobe Kuler.

And for the enthusiasts fix-redeye-crop-filter-delete users, these three tools should fit your need:

Picnik, Picasa3 and Photoshop Express

• PICASA 3 – A desktop application (available on Win, Mac and Linux), can do most of the simple day-to-day stuff. Creates great collage, luv their screensaver.
• Picnik.com - similar to Picasa, but it’s a web application. It has more to offer than Picasa. Check out their filters…
• Photoshop Express – similar to Picnik. Still in beta..

I highly recommend you to read this post if you want to know how these online photo editors differ.

Inspired by Dion, I decided to took this “Get to know yourself better” test. It’s certainly different than Jung Typology Test, but what interest me most is how this personality test try to draw a relation between our imagination and our view of the world, education, love and commitment :) 

Personally, I think Jung’s better, probably because it offer complex explanation. Complex ==> hard to understand => convincing. That’s what happen to me all the time hahaha. Anyways, I think the result I got was quite accurate, but I got the feeling maybe ‘coz they are kinda general and can fit most people. But who am I to judge, let’s leave that to the expert. Here’s mine:

Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don’t judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren’t necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people’s eyes. Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. The seriousness of your love: You are very serious about relationships and aren’t interested in wasting time with people you don’t really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love. Your views on education Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. The right job for you: You’re a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you’ll be set for life. How do you view success: You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don’t succeed. Don’t give up when you haven’t yet even started! Be courageous. What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It’s time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear. Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
