We will not provide you with any nice actions for Adobe Photoshop 4.0 since there's ultimate action source at Action XChange (see photoshop links page). However, be aware that not all of the tricks you will find here work in Photoshop 4.0. Even more - most of them require knowledge of differences between 3.0.x and 4.0, so be patient.


If you find anything useful for your web page here I'd appreciate a link with banner to CoolType. Graphical banner is available in credits section. This is not a neccessary thing to do.


Originally designed as typing tip & trick page, CoolType has grown to Adobe Photoshop technique page. Unfortunately, since Adobe changed some things in Photoshop 4.0 many of the effects will work in Photoshop 3.0.5 only. But still, if you have an advanced Photoshop knowledge you will figure out how to use those in 4.0. Since I am getting alot of e-mails from people around the world telling to keep up the good work, here you go. The new and redesigned CoolType page with more tips and tricks (not only those related to typing).


Very often people ask me about some good Photoshop books, so here is the advice - it all depends on what do you need from Photoshop. For novice users Photoshop 3 Bible is good. If you are serious users, then I recommend buying Photoshop 3 WOW! book and Photoshop Type Magic.


Do you have any cool tips you've invented and feel like sharing with other people? Don't hesitate, send your tricks to me and I will post them as soon as possible if those are really interesting and original.
