CSS Gradient Editor

CSS Gradients are awesome in that you don’t have to generate a graphic to use. They are however also a pain to write in code and requires a lot of it in order to work in most browsers.

I’ve found this little neat site called the Ultimate CSS Gradient Generator by Colorzilla. It will help you generate the code for your desired gradient but what is better is that it does it from the familiar Photoshop gradient editor interface. No, this is not a plugin for Photoshop but it emulates its interface on the web to generate code.

Do you have another favorite CSS Gradient generator? Let me know in the comments!

It sure sounds exciting and it is going to be fun seeing what they are announcing next. Right now you can sign up to win their mystery product, right on the site. Good luck to you if you are entering the draw!

Scott Kelby's Fourth Annual Worldwide Photo Walk

Scott Kelby just officially announced that this years worldwide photo walk is open and that I’ll be on October 1-2, with the leader of the walk picking the best day for their walk. It’s a really fun event. I was the leader of a walk here in Gothenburg four years ago for the first walk, but because of travel schedules, I haven’t made a walk since. I am bummed to say that this will be the case this year as well. Anyhow, you should definitely be a part of this! Even if you don’t want to lead a walk in your city, you can join a walk. You don’t need a fancy camera, you can do it with an iPhone if you like. The whole point is to get out and meet new people, hang out, have a lot of fun while getting to shoot in a new environment.

If you like, there is a contest too with amazing prices: The winner will get the full CS5 suite, an Epson R3000 printer, a Photoshop World ticket, a collection of Kelby books, an iPad(!) and a lot more! Even if you are not the grand prize winner, all finalists will get prices including the Nik software suite and the OnOne software suite, a one year NAPP membership and more. Check this out on the photo walk website.

By now you’ll have heard enough right? Go and see if there is a walk in your city. If there is, why not join the walk? If there isn’t, host one! This is lots of fun!

Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It. LIVE!

It’s not often that I get to write that NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professional) is taking a tour to Europe. In this case, it is my pleasure to remind you that Scott Kelby is taking his awesome Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It. LIVE! tour to Europe in August. He’ll be in Cologne, Germany on August 10 and Amsterdam, Netherlands on August 12. Guess what though, there are still seats left for you to come there! Last time I checked, flights are still available for OK prices as well as hotels in both cities from a variety of cities around Europe.

I will of course join at the Cologne event, going down there August 9-11 and am looking forward to seeing Scott here in Europe. If you are joining us in Cologne, I am very positive that you will get to see Calvin Hollywood and if you visit the Amsterdam event, Frank Doorhof should be around too!

See you in Cologne, or, if you can’t make it there, have fun in Amsterdam!
