Photoshop’s newest image enhancement feature: The Deblurring Feature. According to the video, deblur uses advanced algorithms to calculate the camera movements that caused the blur, which allows the program to do a very accurate unblurring of the photograph. Deblurr may come in the next version release of Photoshop. Can’t wait to try it out.

Photoshop is a great tool, there’s no arguing in that. Its image enhancement features are unparalleled. But, the tool can only be as powerful as they say it is if, and only if the user knows what he’s doing and understanding its limitations. It’s like owning an expensive camera and not knowing what to do with it, thus making it somewhat useless. Well, not entirely, you could always learn to do it right- right? So if you think that knowing how to crop an image in Photoshop makes you a good ‘shopper, then think again. There are professionals who clearly missed (or forced to miss) a thing or two when they published their work. And there’s a website dedicated in collecting those disasters.
The PSDisasters website collects flawed photoshopped images. You can view new submissions in blog-format or choose to view older images randomly and surprise yourself. There are images where the error(s) is pointed out and there are images where you can figure out the “disaster” by yourself. If you ask me, you could turn this website into a game where the user can look for Photoshop WTFs in each image. You know, pretty much like spot the difference.
Photoshop is a great tool, but there are limitations. You (or your boss) shouldn’t force things just because you can in Photoshop. Remember that a lot of people are going to see your work. If it hits the web, it stays there forever- I mean like FOREVER.

Sometimes, you just want to quickly add an effect to your photo. No tedious editing, no spending time watching tutorials, no Photoshop. If you have a photo and want to simply add non-conventional effect(s) on it, try using Imageoid. It’s a web app that lets you easily apply effects to your photos.
To use the service, simply upload a photo, transform it, apply effects and download the result. If you’re using (or familiar with) Instagram on your iPhone, it kinda works the same, only for your browser and with more effects for you to choose from.
As good as Imageoid as in adding photo effects quickly (performs rather fast) and effectively, there’s only one thing that concerns me. The maximum size per file(photo) upload is only 800Kb. This simply means that you can’t upload photos taken directly from high megapixel cameras. Forget about using it on photos taken immediately from DLSRs. I tried a photo from my digital camera and it got rejected because it’s 2MB in size. I need to resize the photo to reduce the file size which takes time. In my humble opinion, changing the max upload capacity will greatly improve the service in terms of convenience. I really don’t want to open Photoshop and resize my image just to add effects on a web app. If I use Photoshop to open the image, I might as well choose a filter and add effects while I’m at it.
