I use Photoshop EVERY DAY!! A computer without Photoshop is useless to me. [#PSMYWorld]

Since 2002 I have been a Photoshop NUT / Fanatic. Sometimes you feel like a nut... sometimes you don't... [but I ways do] Ha ha!

There has only been a very few amount of days that I haven't used Photoshop for the past several years. Of course I use it for my job because I'm a professional Graphic Artist but I also use it for fun too! When my computer is down I feel like I'm missing my arm or leg.  It's true!  I really enjoy working on my computer using photoshop to make stuff. It's like magic in a box! They don't call it "Photoshop Magic" for nothing.

I'd have to say Photoshop is, by far, my favorite Adobe program. There are some people who favor Adobe Illustrator for their designs but I'm in love with Photoshop. There isn't really anything you cannot do in Photoshop that wont rock your socks off.

Top Ten Reasons I love Photoshop:

1. It includes the Pen tool =) I sure do enjoy my custom shapes!
2. Brushes, there are so many websites with free awesome brushes that spice your artwork up like a bowl of chili!
3. Effects, sometimes adding a drop shadow to your artwork makes a world of a difference!
4. Anything is in your hands!... You can use photoshop to do practically ANYTHING... Wanna have a photo of you riding a bear???  Yeah... I can do that in Photoshop!
5. Animations. You can make an animated gif if you need to... right there in Photoshop!
6. Website tools. You can do your layout and then cut it all out, EASY! Right there in Photoshop!
7. ACTIONS! Yeah!  I love the custom actions you can make. It's the smart way! I use this a lot for my website photos.
8. Batches. Yet another smart way to do design. Nothing like making the computer do all of the work! Time SAVER Indeed! Ha ha! It reminds me of my friend Scott [He would be sitting at his desk with his feel up while 3 computers were running a batches to resize an entire website... He commented that he WAS working].
9. Photo enhancement options. Sometimes photos come out bad and I love using photoshop to make them look beautiful. Also, you can have tons of fun with the cool effects. Who wants blue eyes??
10. Clone Stamp... AWESOME <3
11. [Sorry, one more] LIQUIFY. You cannot forget this! I LOVE the pinch tool! Good bye chunky arms or whatever! Pinch Pinch Pinch... PERFECT!

I have an entire website FULL of stuff I've made MOSTLY from photoshop. I think the artwork speaks for it's self on how brilliant of a program it is... Of course, these were my design ideas... but Photoshop helped me succeed to make them happen!

Heather Kant's Photoshop Magic...Spray!

My secrets reviled! Lets take a look behind the red curtain!

Do you ever wonder how I create such splendid graphics and designs?  Do you ever sit behind me as I work my magic and wish you could do it too? Doesn't it look easy, almost like sending a quick email? Do you ever think to yourself... Heather can fix/make it!?

Well, just like the magicians on TV I am also willing to reveille my magic tonight.  If you think I learned things in college or perhaps with 6+ years of design experience - You're wrong! CLEARLY It's a spray I use to spritz my computer monitor when nobody is looking.  Nobody can be that good...all of the time.  (tehe)

Side-note: Costo sells the spray, you can buy it in bulk if you're a member.  Enjoy! Hey... I'm just kidding. Heather's Photoshop Magic Spray isn't real.  So sorry!
