HOWTOs Web Development

SVN Revert

There are some things I am very thankful for when I am working in PhotoShop…being able to navigate the history, the background eraser, the rounded corners tool, but there are sometimes when I fingers end up moving faster than my brain and save and close PSD files before I had the chance to undo a […]
