You almost had my $19 until I saw the note about it not being compatible with the latest version of Photoshop... Seriously?
It's to mainstream.

#33It's somewhat of an indictment of our industry that I genuinely can't tell whether this is clever, semi-ironic marketing for a real product or flat-out satire.
The ordering page actually sends you to PayPal to pay now (someone said it wasn't working earlier). Also there are installation videos on the support page. So it's a real product.

#34Wow, we used to do this using the free transform tool. Here's an embarrassingly bad piece I did in '98 http://i.imgur.com/SmgQSy7.jpg
Not to go too far off-topic, the meta information of this image is probably more interesting than the poor design (http://metapicz.com/#landing?imgsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com...)

#35I guess I've just had a stroke, or am totally out of the loop on modern copywriting. And the website itself is broken all over the place. If you're doing mockups, the PS actions at http://www.psdcovers.com have been really useful for me, and they look really great. Nothing quite like the (quite nice) perspective view from this site, but lots of devices in use etc., along with physical products.
Thank you for sharing this, I just used one of their actions to makes some graphics for the /help/manuals pages I am working on.

#36Well...can't say you've done a great job targeting folks related to slaves or folks with STDs, but at least the site looks good? Even as small as this, racist and ableist statements are inappropriate and alienating. Punch up, not down. http://reasonableconversation.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/punch...
Tumblr is that way >>>

#37I'm not the target audience, so I can't really give you any real feedback on the plugin, but I love the copy and spammed it all over the twitterverse. Good job! (btw, it looks like you forgot to replace some copy&pasted text under "How it works") EDIT: I also love the picture on the bottom. It took me a while until I got the point, but it's great.

Whoa. So for a while I wondered why the authors would be such shitty thick dicks but now I know why. In the "Attention Economy" (ugh) this is apparently what you need to be doing in order to be viral. So "viral" was actually a spot-on phrasing from the very beginning, anticipating that ultimately only rather sickening style will become indeed "viral".
Now it's satire. A few years from now this kind of copy will go mainstream and kids will grow up to it. I'm scared shirtless about my old age now :D

I can't figure out exactly what you mean but I'm guessing that you consider the word "slave" to be racist, which makes me wonder if you're just parodying something. I'm too old to get the super-sensitivity that plagues modern youth so i often can't distinguish serious vs parodic positions. little help?

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you'd read the copy you'd realise it's designed by Blaz (from Dribbble), I'm just posting on his behalf :) Edit: it was really just a way to start building photoshop plugins to see what the ecosystem is like, we've got 4 new plugins that are actually useful for a wife audience coming out soon.
> we've got 4 new plugins that are actually useful for a wife audience Wait, what?
You can thank iOS' autocorrect for that one, "wide" would be the correct word that's supposed to be in there :)
