Flash in a Flash

Most of our customers have a problem with flash.  They are extremely pleased with our banner and poster options, but they wonder how to display their custom work either homemade or those made here at TatStore.

Download Helper

So, I know that it’s true that we do a lot of reviews of firefox, and firefox related add-ons here at the TatStore Blog, but I personally just can’t help it.  If you have something you would like to do, firefox has a way to do it.
Today, I’d like to take a look at the [...]

Photoshop magic

I don’t know how many readers of this blog love photoshopping as much as I do, but for the purposes of this entry, I will pretend that there is one.

Product Pictures Part Deux

This week I have put together another video tutorial for the GIMP concerning product pictures. Fortunately (or unfortunately), this week’s video has audio commentary by yours truly. Kadeera had asked me to be more clear about how to cut out a product picture for a website like you see on most e-commerce sites, and [...]

Simple Picture Prep - for eCommerce

This week I did my first GIMP tutorial. I left the microphone on my desk this, and since my computer’s hasn’t worked for months (thanks HP), this video is distractingly devoid of sound. I thought about audibling to something else, but I was worried that someone was really working hard at their GIMPing, [...]

3 Selections to Make a Choice

Or is it 3 choices to make a selection… I don’t know.
Anyways, as promised, this week I will be showing a little bit about how to use an image manipulator like Photoshop or the Gimp. (If you missed it, last week I talked about why we all need a photoshopping tool, and why, [...]
