We all know, there’s no easy way of creating guides in Photoshop. Every time you need to set up guides, you need to go to View, New Guide and enter the position. You could make it a little easier on yourself by setting up a shortcut key for guides, but you’d still need to open it over and over again for each new guide. What if there was an easier way? Well, there is! GuideGuide is a free Photoshop extension that’ll make it much easier to create guides. In the GuideGuide window, you’re able to set up pixel accurate columns, rows, midpoints, and baselines based on your document or selection size. You’re able to input the position of the top/bottom/left/right margins. Set a number of columns or rows you need. Set up column/row width and even set a gutter for both the columns and rows in your document or selection.

Happy with your guides? You can save them as a set to be used later.

Need to clear all guides in a document. Easy, there’s a clear button that’ll remove ’em all! As usual, you could always hide them by hitting Ctrl-H or Cmd-H if on a Mac.

You can find a documents midpoints with a click of a button.

View screenshots of GuideGuide in action by going through the tabs below. GuideGuide can even set up guides within a selection!

GuideGuide is a very simple Photoshop extension that’ll work in CS4 and CS5 versions. OSX Lion users running CS5 will need to install a patch for Adobe Extension Manager first. Best of all, it’s free! To view a full list of features, be sure to visit Cameron McEfee’s GuideGuide website.

Get “Cache My Work”

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to save all open applications when you log off like you can on the Mac? You can shutdown, logoff, restart your computer and when you log back in, all your applications will re-open. Windows has no built in features for this but I think I found a good alternative. It’s called “Cache My Work”. It basically does all that! Saves open applications and folders when you logoff/restart or shut down your computer and they will then reopen when you log back in!

Today, I’ll show you how to create this “Cool Blue” text effect I put together in Photoshop. You can download the PSD file below! If you like this, feel free to share it along!

How-to:

1. Start Photoshop and create a new document. I set the size to 1280px by 720px but you can make it bigger or smaller depending on the project your working on. Next I added some text with the following styles;

• Font: Impact
• Size: 274 pt
• Color: #00a9e8

2. Then I’ve added the following layer styles to my text layer.

• Drop Shadow
• Inner Shadow
• Inner Glow
• Bevel and Emboss
• Stroke

I’ve also added a nice little grey background for the text too. That’s it! You can download the PSD below and copy the layer styles from my text layer to your own!

I’m giving away a free censor beep sound effect for everyone to use on there next video with violence. I got tired of looking all over the internet for a simple beep sound effect online, so I decided to recreate the sound in Audacity and give it away for free.

The reason why there are different audio lengths to choose from is because the sound becomes choppy when you loop it. This sound should be the same one they use on TV.

To create this same sound in Audacity, all you have to do is Go up to “Generate” in the menu bar and click “Tone” then, where it says “Frequency/Hz” type in the number “1000” then click “Generate Tone”. You can also watch the tutorial on how to make it in Audacity by clicking the link below.
