Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-05-03

Putting in a few hours on the new http://www.photoshopninja .com design – fully tested in Internet Explorer 5.5-8-hope to finish next week! #
Retweeting @tonys: RT @wordcampuk: Become a WordCamp UK 2009 sponsor: new info pack http://tinyurl.com/dgpndd #
@focalpress My favourite publisher following me on Twitter, I feel privileged! Keep up the good work guys, your books ROCK! #
25 readers to win free vector graphics pack – just leave a comment! http://is.gd/vigU – worth a go! #
#photoshop is very reliable, but your favourite keyboard shortcut should be Apple(Command)+S – save regularly as you work! #
@digitalArtform Oh yes – agreed, they are far more powerful than just for cleaning up your layer palette, masking+multiple masking is great! in reply to digitalArtform #
That URL got messed up – the new #Photoshop brush set post is Spiral Brushes vol 2 over at http://tinyurl.com/cc2nj7 #
@PeteInnes I know I know – and I’m already on around the 6th site design revision in 4 years (and new one on the way!) in reply to PeteInnes #

Feeling a bit bored in #Photoshop? Why not have a play with the liquify function… remember, it can be used for good and evil! #

Remember, expand appearance and clean-up your paths first in #Illustrator before copying your vector artwork into #Photoshop #
SPREAD THE WORD-4th birthday celebrations of http://www.photoshopninja.com start tomorrow, lots of cool free #Photoshop stuff every day for 14 days #
If you are going to use a vector shape more than once – why not save it as a custom shape, it makes it quicker to reuse in the future! #

Print design today – don’t forget Photoshop’s best friends – Mr InDesign and Mr Illustrator, they get on like a house on fire! #
@nintensity Shouldnt be too much of a problem as long as you have done it high resolution in reply to nintensity #
@lkilpatrick I guess it’s down to preferences, but with no CMYK support, Fireworks is a no for me! Illustrator is good for logo design BTW! in reply to lkilpatrick #
@lkilpatrick Yes Illustrator and InDesign for print artwork, but you still need Photoshop for pixels… be it print, onscreen, wherever! in reply to lkilpatrick #
@lkilpatrick Couldn’t agree more! Photoshop is an excellent design tool too, it’s not just for photographs (ie high-end print design) in reply to lkilpatrick #
If you are resizing images, especially by large percentages don’t forget the most important step-sharpening! Read more http://digg.com/u1Qrs #
Have just finished another download ready for the 4th birthday celebrations – read more at http://tinyurl.com/2weeksofcontent #
@leifwells @lkilpatrick Fireworks has some tricks up it’s sleeve for on-screen design- but sorry Photoshop rules on functionality! in reply to leifwells #

@ninja_coder Code does have an elegance and allows me to do very pretty things with websites, so it’s something I have to put up with! in reply to ninja_coder #
Sadly swopping pixels for PHP today, got website coding to do… Code will never be as pretty as pixels! #
Don’t expect multiple transparency blending modes to work in PSD images placed into InDesign – they don’t sadly! #
#Photoshop : Exclusive 20% Discount On All Lynda.com Online Training Premium Subscriptions – SAVEPSS.. http://tr.im/i3mV #
