The Forum is back 3/29/02
The forum is back online. After our host decided to move the entire forum went down
because of the new setup for the cgi. Many thanks to Raptor and Adiemus for getting our
forum back online.
You can now email
Adiemus or
Raptor
for forum related problems and forums help.

We opened a new section on the FxZone which
will serve as a file exchange resource for interfaces.
If you've got a lot of those unpublished works or materials
you never plan on using then this might be a better place to
dump them rather than in your recycle bin. You can also find interface
patterns, textures and even
full PSD files of interfaces that
can help you create your own interfaces. |

2nd live tutorial on IRC 02/19/02
We just completed the second live tutorial featuring "Rusting" or "Rust Effect".
The web version of this tutorial is to be released this coming weekend. The next one is set for the
third weekend next month and we are looking forward to seeing more people participate.
Click here for more details on our live photoshop tutorials.
We also have installed a new JAVA chat applet to
provide better access to our live tutorials. We also have new
official channel #fxzone which you can access via any irc chat program or
our chat applet. We are inviting everyone to check it out and get a chance to chat
with our moderators, administrators and other fellow artist and photoshop users.

Want more tutorials? You'll find a lot of useful tips and
tutorials for the program features and some good photoshop effects. Also features lightwave tutorials.
Another photoshop tutorial site with some good content. I never got a chance to
check out the entire site but the Shinny button and Highlighted chrome tutorial is worth a look.

| Our first featured artist in the new FxZone is
Roy
of dreamshocker.com.
His site combines great artwork, flash animation and good sound into
one working piece. |

Colin Smith of Phothoshopcafe

his new book Foundation Photoshop 6.0 and we would like
to thank him for putting our link in it.

HTML). This XML-based standard can be used in web pages as well as in an increasing number of applications, and can be scripted to provide animation and
interactivity.
