Photo Editing Web App: Rollip.com
14 Comments | Posted by Kelvin Servigon in Graphic Design, Internet, Photography
I’ve been a Photoshop user since I started graphic designing. I never used a photo editing web app. My younger sister, Keith Anne, loves editing her photos using different web apps available on the net. But Rollip.com (a new photo-editing web app) has an interesting thing that grabbed my attention — professional photo effects.
If you’re a photographer, you should know that Adobe Photoshop is a great tool for post-processing your photos. Adjusting colors, the tones, everything, use Adobe Photoshop. But in the web? You can use nothing. The available photo-editing apps on the web can’t be used as a post-processing tool for photographers because they only do simple effects. But now, Rollip.com requested me to review their app that offers professional photo effects – which sounds awesome.
“I love designs” is this week’s tagline for Wallpaper Monday!
This is the first time I posted a Wallpaper Monday post, and let me explain what is Wallpaper Monday. Wallpaper Monday is my new series of posts here on my blog where you can download high quality wallpapers for your system. And all wallpaper that you’ll download were made by me! You can have it for personal use only.
Wallpaper Monday: I Love Designs
Hello everyone. This one will just be a short post to update you what’s going on here on my blog. Right now, me and the whole family will go somewhere to refresh our minds and spend the last two days with our Dad. Yeah, this coming Monday, my Dad will be going to Nigeria again.
After our short trip, tonight will be our pictorial with my cousin, Alein. She’ll be celebrating her 18th birthday this coming January 16. And I’m the one who will design her invitation and tarpaulins. So, tonight, I hope we’ll gonna have great photos with her, because there’s no more time to lose.

The Greatness of Photoshop (and the Downside of It)

The power of Adobe Photoshop is enormous, incredible, amazing. Yeah, any great positive adjective can describe it. Adobe Photoshop saved many lives, too. How? By simply manipulating their photos (celebrities, I’m talking to you). Many people around the globe are using Photoshop to help them in their “problems”. They found it nice. But, is it really nice?
One of the most significant things that made Adobe Photoshop popular is its ability to manipulate photos, easily and in a very flexible way. Like what I’ve posted here, the Photoshop virtual beauty tutorial, you can change your looks in Photoshop (but only virtually).
The start of year 2010 for Dubai is awesome. Yesterday, January 4, 2010, the tallest building on Earth (as of now) has been unveiled. The Burj Dubai (now Burj Khalifa) has 160 floors, measures 828 m or 2,717 ft and costs $1.5 billion. It is indeed one of the most ambitious projects of mankind and fortunately turned in to a great success.
Here’s a video of the Burj Dubai Opening Ceremony:
The opening ceremony held in front of the tallest building in the whole world is so amazing. The fireworks, the lights, the fountains. I wish I was there.
