If you have a friend that's a graphic designer or photographer, and you're really strapped for gifts this Christmas, how about giving them a TidyPSD? For the meager (well, fairly meager) price of $9, TinyPSD will take any unorganized, jumbled-up PSD and turn it into a thing of Zen-like beauty. Sequentially numbered layers will be replaced with names! Unordered chaos will be replaced with layer ...

Ah, viewers! Whether you love the fact that they exist, or hate the fact that we live in a world that necessitates them, file viewers are a vital part of any computer user's tool kit. The number of times I've seen sent a Microsoft Word file and not been able to open it... ugh! Fortunately I have Photoshop, but I'm sure there are lots of people out there that don't -- that's where PSD Viewer ...

Imagine you're working on a PSD file, you duplicate it and work further on it when creating a new version. And one day, you need a layer or effect that only exists in only one of these files -- among the heap of 2MB files that were hastily named 'Untitled1.psd, 'Untitled2.psd', 'Untitled2_a.psd'.

Yesterday we reviewed BaseKit, a web app that lets you build websites from scratch, or from imported Photoshop PSD files. Really, all you have to do is import a PSD and drag a bunch of widgets around, and you have a beautiful W3C-compliant CSS/HTML website. And now we have some beta keys to give away! In a change from the norm, we're giving away the keys on our Facebook page -- to enter just ...

The time for writing code in an editor, creating artwork in another app and uploading it all bit-by-bit is OVER. The folks at BaseKit pose a good question: why don't we make websites online, in the browser? There are some nascent attempts, like the cheap-and-cheerful approach of Google ...

The aptly-named Paint.Net PSD Plugin is one of those pieces of software which pretty much spells it all out right in the name. It's a plugin...for Paint.Net...(wait for it)...which lets you open files saved in Photoshop's PSD format. Download the zip archive, dump the included PhotoShop.dll file into your Paint.Net FileTypes folder (usually c:\program files\Paint.Net\FileTypes), and you're ...

If you've got an eye for design, but lack the proficiency in HTML and CSS to convert your ideas into functional websites, Divine might be for you. It's currently in the beta stage, but it aims to transform Photoshop documents into working Wordpress layouts. There's no coding involved, just selecting the appropriate sections of your PSD layout and assigning them the appropriate parts of the ...
