They call Corey Barker the Photoshop Lad. I call Corey Barker the Photoshop Magician, a McGyver who can make incredible things from nothing. If Photoshop were combustible, he could light fires with it. His site, Planet Photoshop, is full of tutorials, tips, and news for Photoshop junkies. Joining NAPP with promo code “DAWN” gets you Corey’s “Adobe Photoshop CS4 Design Effects” DVD free.
Create an original piece of work based on tutorials from the site to enter monthly contests held at Planet Photoshop. The prizes are really sweet, too. In this month’s contest, for instance, the winner gets a 1-year membership to NAPP, Scott Kelby’s Photoshop CS4 Down & Dirty Tricks book, and Corey’s Adobe Photoshop CS4 Design Effects DVD.
Here’s my submission to an earlier Planet Photoshop contest (contest submission followed by the original photo). I’m a fairly creative person, but I never would have come up something like this without Corey’s Design Effects tutorial.
Corey’s directions are easy to follow and in video format, so you can watch a little at a time, and then hit pause and catch up with him in Photoshop. I can’t wait to try his latest tutorial, based on the title text from Land of the Lost.

Wow! That is cool. I haven’t gotten into the other uses for Photoshop too much as I barely have enough time to edit photos. But those would be fun on some greeting cards.

Neat-o! I can come up with some creative things but I am a little more traditional in my preferences. So while I could make something different, I wouldn’t necessarily like it all that much– does that even make sense?
I facebooked it so please count me in! And I will Twitter just as soon as they have it up and running again (apparently, it’s down for maintenance).

I am not very creative when it comes to this kind of stuff. But if I see it I can usually reproduce it so I love looking at what other people are doing. This looks like it would be fun to get ideas from!!
Wow! The prizes you have up for grabs are great! That NAPP membership gets two thumbs up!

I totally want a membership after seeing all of your lovely stuff here lately. I love the design effects you created with that photo. Since I don’t tweet, I subscribed to your feed about a week ago. But not because of your giveaway. We’re both homeschooling moms and Photoshop freaks! Gotta support that!!!

I added myself as a fan for your Facebook!
This DVD looks amazing. Would love to have it. It may just send me over the edge and buy CS4. I have PSE7.
Corey rocks! Talent oozes from him.
Am i the winner of the NAPP membership? I’m performing all tasks u required of us!
I, too, think Corey is an amazingly talented Photoshop Guy.
