Photoshopers

hey, some people here probably use both of these already, but i just thought i might let some of the others know. Since my dad owns a design firm, he's rediculous with PS and has some sick people working for him so i went to his office today just to goof around and learn some stuff and i found this magazine "Inside Photoshop," it teaches you sick ways of doing things like adding realistic shadows to images and everything else, i also borrowed this program "Alien Skin" to upload to my PS and it has some insane filters, the glass and crome look 100x more real than the standerd ones that come with photoshop. If you are into your graphic design i would really suggest looking into both of these, they are amazing and helped be out so much with my PS-ing.
