FREE Tips for Using Win 8

Although I do not use Win 8, I suppose this website provides good tutorials. http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/50-windows-8-tips-tricks-and-secrets-1028220#null

My laptop can not be fully compatible with Win 8 and is not easy on Windows OS to revert back the old OS. Besides, my laptop has " PlayMemories Home Plug-In" error because of "VCM VEP Merge Modules x84.msi" path missing right now after updating. I am really Not in the mood to upgrade OS.

FREE Online Unzip Tool

These are free online tools to convert your files into zip format. http://archive.online-convert.com/convert-to-zip and http://www.unziponline.net/zip.php

If you do not have winzip or winrar, then you may want to consider using online unzip service to unzip file, here is the website for free unzipping files with bigger size online http://b1.org/online, so you do not need to install unzip software if the storage space of your computer is very limited.

To download massive desirable png frames, visit below websites:

http://pngframe.com/category/abstract/

Then, you can use png or psd frames (multiple layers can be opened by FREE GIMP 2.8, layer panel should be viewed or by clicking "Windows-->Dockable Dialogs-->Layers (Ctrl +L)). For example, inside this zip frame http://pngframes.net/60419-photo-frame-the-season-mojito.html contains both psd and png frames (use for personal only, I think). Some are zipped psd files, but some contain both psd and png in .zip or .rar format, here is the website for almost all beautiful designed png and psd frames http://pngframes.net/frames-png/page/2/

Most frames are at file sharing website for 60 to 90 days only and then they will be automatically removed. Thus, if you like those frames, you better be quick.

Luminance HDR 2.3.0 is an open source, but I am not sure what this is for so far, http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/

This Fr0st 1.4 Fractal is probably free, but I have not tried yet, http://fr0st.wordpress.com/2011/05/14/fractal-fr0st-1-4-released/ and it can creates image like this http://tangent101.deviantart.com/gallery/30129750#/d540m0u但我也沒辦法安裝Fr0st 1.4 Fractal.

其他的,請超懶蟲自行尋找! 會使用者也可將GIMP的script轉成photoshop cs的script. Photoshop CS也有script及plug-ins的支援.

一些中文的GIMP的外掛程式(Plug-ins)及script(不知道中文翻譯名稱,解說在此網 http://thundercat-ghlin.blogspot.tw/2010/02/gimp-script-fu.html)來產生一些濾鏡(filter)的效果:

Does Anyone Know Where Can Get This Type of Plug-ins?

Does anyone know any plug-ins can turn my own photo into CG-like drawing or 3D model-like drawing? It will still look like me, but with CG-like effect. I do not mean photoshop CS with complicated multi-steps even requirement of drawing skill. Can a small plug-ins do this job? I meant this http://idnar.deviantart.com/art/CG-Girl-32-17064600
I meant does any plug-ins or filter effect be able to turn personal photo into CG-drawing WITHOUT any drawing and colouring skill?

In addition, does anyone know what software or even filter plug-ins can cartoonise me differently. e.g. cartoonise personal photo to become big head with small body as this image, http://www.cartoonme4u.com/how-it-works

P.S. I found this http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Plugins/Photoshop-Manga-Effect-Plug-in.shtml to cartoonise me like character in Japanese comics. However, I have not tried yet.

我不知道這是真的嗎?

這個人把某個人的序號及使用姓名公開讓其他人使用此軟體.不過我沒使用他的序號,所以不知道真假?詳情見此網, http://blog.alumni.nctu.edu.tw/plate/web/papermsg.jsp?UI=hozafjhwd&PI=149219

Can This Price Be Possible?

I wish anyone can tell me is this possible price for adobe photoshop cs extended? I found this website and I am not sure it is real or not. If it is real and reliable, I am going to have a dream come true that is becoming a photoshop cs extended user.
http://www.sale-applications.com/browse/search/?q=adobe%20photoshop%20cs

Can anyone tell us is this true to have $99.95 Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended ? Is this online retailer for real http://www.sale-applications.com/browse/search/?q=adobe%20photoshop%20cs ?

Then, next minute, guess what I found http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/softbuy-connecticut-c389490.html

Well, one of my dream has broken down. They all are bubbles. I am hopeless to have a decent license and live a life as a digital artist. Guess what? Legal software is too expensive that only makes richer people richer and poor people who can not stand a chance to change their life and to be different.

Probably, they are not good examples because I just practise " using layer mask" and "fractal generator". Although I am not good at math, I still want to make some fractal images.

Filter Library and Download Filters

This website offers 9015 filters for photoshop, but the plug-ins software needs money and it now is on sale (60% off summer sale until 31th of July 2012).
Are you interested in this plug-ins http://www.filterforge.com/filters/ ? As long as you use their plug-ins software, then you have 9015 filter files to use for free.

If you can not download filters and use them, this is my solution to this issue:

open "firefox"
Click "Tools"
Click "Options"
Click "Applications"
Search "filter forge" for content type and select " use filter forge" at action
for selecting "use filter forge" at action, click "use other" --> "browse"--> "computer"-->"local disk (C)" --> "Program Files (x86)" --> Select "Filter Forge 3" --> "Bin"--> "Filter Forge"
Then, you can select interested filters and then click "open this filter in filter forge" --> then you will see the filter effect at plug-ins

If you still did not see the filter, you probably need to open filter forge first before you download. I download and try when my plug-ins is opened.

Wonderful Styles for Photos

I found answers for my questions from these styles as well. I did NOT make profit on advertising all of these commercial websites at my blog. I just simply like their offers and designs.

P.S. the " add to cart " button at this blog is just for fun and see anyone who is interested to spare money because of their good mood that is all. The "add to cart" button is NOT because of links at this blog, but it is for the images I created at this blog.

Amazing plug-ins from Redfieldplugins

P.S. This plug-ins software from namesuppressed.com may be useful for fabric designers, http://www.namesuppressed.com/design/plugins-plaidlite.shtml

Where can I find FREE "Custom Filter (.ACF)"?

For Photoshop Elements10, .8BF files of plug-ins can not be loaded to Elements10, so where can I find FREE "custom filter (.ACF) " to load different effects from defaulted preset?

P.S. .8BF plug-ins can be loaded and used in PaintShop Pro X4 Ultimate, and the steps are at this website http://www.paintshopblog.com/2008/07/09/how-to-install-plugins-plug-ins-in-paint-shop-pro/

An Open Source of Cliparts- FREE Cliparts

I suppose Open Clipart Library provides an open source of cliparts, which are free for using on both personal and commercial projects. http://openclipart.org/about

An example of clipart from above website,

http://openclipart.org/byhits-last-month

To download images from the open clipart library, click interested images--> click PNG (you can choose to type resolution you desire or not) --> right click optical mouse --> choose "save image" as PNG format.

P.S.
If you like it, you may donate to this open source at the bottom of the website, or just enjoy free cliparts.

If softwares, images or anything are provided as an open source online, I guess they do not need money, but you can always donate any amount of money anytime only when you feel like to. No stress! No worries!!!

Download FREE Flash (SWF) Games

First, you have to install flash player, e.g. this one "SWF & FLY player " at CNET.com, http://download.cnet.com/SWF-FLV-Player/3000-13632_4-170532.html

Second, choose free swf games from some websites, e.g. http://www.lpopova.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Third, click download link to view the flash game

Fourth, if you are using firefox, select " Tools" --> " Page Info "--> " Media" --> Select " Address" (with "Embed" type)--> click " save as" --> "save" the SWF--> play it by swf player offline

It is the same procedure to download swf game from this website http://salamanderarcade.com/category/Puzzles/new/3, but you need to take a little bit time to choose right address (it is "Embed" type with name of the game).

I guess this method applies to any free and "embeddable" SWF game websites. Enjoy FREE download!

In reference website, it also explains to download swf game through other Internet browsers. I just take an example of firefox Internet browser.

Reference: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-download-embedded-flash-swf-files-using-your-browser/

I am not sure it works or not, but it is free and available to download at CNET. Com
