Not to long ago, Adobe released a free app for the iPhone called Photoshop.com Mobile. It’s obviously and image editor, but it’s usefulness comes from tying directly into your Photoshop.com account. The app is limited to some basic editing features, but I must say, it’s quite nice for a first try.

You can choose a photo or take a photo to start editing.

The app has some simple, but nice features including color effects, crop, rotate, image effects, sketch and more. When your done, you can save or upload directly to your free Photoshop.com account for easy retrieval from any internet connected computer. Furthermore, users can connect to their Photoshop.com account and have access to their entire Photoshop.com library directly from the iPhone.

While this isn’t a typical BittBox post, I think It’s alright to lighten the mood every once in a while. I was recently contacted by iPhone developers Brendan McWeeney and Gianguido Giudetti about a new app that’s just been released to the world, and it utilizes some good ol’ BittBox Photoshop brushes for added effect. The app is called Fartlicious, and I’m sure I don’t need to explain to you what it does, but let’s just say that the BB brush set it uses are my Hi-Res Splatter brushes. I’ll leave it at that :) Anyway, as a way to say thanks, they’ve given me 3 codes to get the app for free.

Contest Rules:

• All you have to do to enter is leave a comment.
• Only comment once.
• 3 winners will be randomly chosen from the comments.
• You must leave an email address in order to win.
• Comments will remain open until Thursday, July 23rd.

It’s always rewarding to see your hard work put to good use as a designer. I got a tip from Ghettoshark about some BittBox brushes being used by none other than the folks at EA Sports. The brushes used were my Hi-Res Splatter set, if you’re interested. Not much else to say here other than, cool!

I was planning on buying NCAA Football 10 anyway, I guess it’s a must-buy now!

Congratulations to Cindy, Patrick Serrano, and John (the John who’s comment was “WANT”). I want to thank everyone for tha awesome feedback that came in. I had a hunch that everyone would like this app, but sounds like you guys really, really, really like it (which makes me happy) Anyway, If you didn’t win Brush Pilot retails for $15 in case anyone was wondering. Also, we’ve updated it to version 1.02 already that fixed a few major bugs. SO, if you haven’t already you can download version 1.02 at BrushPilotApp.com. Thanks again everyone!

This is a rather unusual post, but a few emails have come in pointing out some BittBox stuffs being used to break the news. It’s kinda neat seeing people put this stuff to good use, and an example of just how far-reaching sharing resources online can go.

Apparently CNN likes some of my textures as you can see below.

And MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show was spotted using one of my fonts, Tire Shop for a segment called “Rachel Re:”

Anyway, like I said, kind of an unusual post, but maybe it can get some of you a little more inspired :)

Congratulations to the 3 randomly selected winners of a shiny new copy of Swift3D v5 from Electric Rain. We had 2 Robs in this group of winners, so congrats to Rob, Rob, and Kimberly. I hope you all enjoy the software. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Electric Rain for their generous contribution to the design community, and and a big thanks to everyone who participated.

Last year, I did my best to help send David Bracetty to FOWA. This year, I’ve been contacted again, and I’d like to spread the word to anyone who might be willing to help. A couple of our collegues in Tel Aviv, Israel are stating their case, and asking for help to get to this years FOWA (Future of Web Apps) event in Miami, FL. There are ways to help, even if you can’t donate, like spreading the word if you have a blog, for example. Anyway, I’ll be sponsoring these two guys, because I took one look at their website, and their work, and FOWA is where these 2 belong. Good Luck Guys! :)

Congrats to Alex, Jesse, and Melody. They were the lucky 3 who won 300 Hi Resolution textures from Colorburned. But remember, even if you didn’t win, you can get all 6 texture packs for $25 by using the discount code “BITTBOXFRIEND.” (That’s roughly $0.08 per texture) I’d also like to thank Grant at Colorburned for making the contest possible. Thanks for everyone’s participation :)
