Actions for Elements: New Mac-Packs!

Posted by Graffi on May 13, 2012 No comments | 1 views

Finally!I’ve finally gotten around to creating manual-install action packs for all the Graffi Action Sets in the Graffishop!

Add-O-Matic is still a Windows-only utility, but all of the other Action packs now are available with two options:

  • You can get the regular Windows-only packs that come with their own installer
  • You can choose the manual install option (for Mac users, Photoshop users or Windows Elements users who want to install the actions themselves). The manual install option is available from the bottom of each product page beside the Add to Cart button:

Untitled-1

The auto-install option will add all actions, thumbnails & .xml files in the correct place within your Windows version of Elements.

The manual-install versions include actions, thumbnails & .xml files that can be manually placed or omitted within either Windows or Mac versions of Elements, and Photoshop users can get the actions and disregard the other Elements-required pieces.

Also, if you choose the manual-install option, it’ll knock $2 off the price!

Check them out and see what you think – !

Photoshop Label Brushes

Posted by PSD-dude.com - PSDDUDE tutorials and resources on March 18, 2012 No comments | 0 views

This set contains 20 label brushes available for free download. All the labels from this pack have an ellipse shape but we are going to release the version 2 and 3 with round and rectangle label shapes.

These label brushes come in handy if you want to create a quick Photoshop label. Due to the 100% opacity level and the big size, these label brushes are similar to label custom shapes. They can be easily combined to create other new and interesting labels. You can also add them layer styles, textures or patterns to obtain beautiful looking labels for your products.

 

Add-O-Matic for 2012

Posted by Graffi on January 2, 2012 No comments | 16 views

Happy 2012 everyone!

Thanks to all of you, I was able to make several donations to various local organizations in my area during 2011: time, materials & money! I also managed to keep the graficalicus.com sites online and keep the bill collectors happy – so a huge thanks to everyone!

Add-O-Matic is now in its 6th edition, starting way back for Photoshop Elements 5, and is still the most popular Elements utility out there!

If you don’t want to go through the Graffishop, you can grab an Add-O-Matic by clicking the button below – same price applies, but you won’t have an option for discounts or the mailing list in the future.

Cheers!
