Today’s freebie is a bit different.

Today you have the chance to get win something! It’s been awhile since I’ve done a contest, and since the year is almost up, I figured I better get something going!

So.. since I know everyone is still recovering from the Christmas rush.. I’ll make this easy!

There prizes are:

A FULL set of the new RAW presets.. valued at $90!!! (to be released soon)

OR

A $20 Itunes Gift Certificate

To enter into the $20 Itunes drawing, all you need to do is sign up for the phaunt newsletter (USE the link/box on the LEFT).

Just go to the page and sign up/verify, then leave me a comment saying that you signed up. I will be drawing the winner FROM THE COMMENTS, so don’t sign up and forget to comment or you won’t be able to win!

To be in the running for the New Presets all you need to do is POST about the phaunt contest (or blog) on your own blog/website. Link people to the phaunt blog so they can sign up for the contest.. or just share the blog with others so they can learn something new in photoshop!

If you don’t have a blog to share from, feel free to link from message boards/forums, but PLEASE do not do it in an area that is not for sharing links/etc. I don’t want it to be out of place or annoying.

How was your Christmas?

We had a wonderful time here, the first time my family has been all together for a few years, it was great! As a family present my mom got a Nintendo Wii, and we have all been fighting over whose turn it is to play next! The best thing is that Harland (my 5 year old nephew) beats everyone in boxing!

And another wonderful thing, we just found out that my brother, Ben, and his wife, Andrea, who are having a baby in May, are having a GIRL! I can’t WAIT to meet her, though it seems crazy to me that my little brother is old enough to have a baby of his own. Lilly has assured me that she will teach them how to take care of the baby, since she’s a pro now.

Today I got to take advantage of one of my Christmas presents and go get a spa pedicure.. it was heavenly. I go back in a few hours to get a 30 min massage. Sam did good this year, I must admit.

So enough about me.. how was your Christmas? Get anything good? I wanna hear!

I also realized that I didn’t break out the camera at ALL on Christmas.. BAD photographer!!

ANYWAY… I’m hoping to get the 2nd part of the batching tutorial up tomorrow, or something else, depends on how motivated I am after my massage. The freebies will be gone after tomorrow tho, so don’t forget to download them!

ALSO…. Next week (hopefully) I’ll be launching a new development with phaunt.. It’s a forerunner for what’s to come soon, and I’m really excited about it.

To see if it will apply to you.. answer these questions….

1. Do you have a blog and/or are you part of an online community (forum, message board, etc) that has a photoshop/photography section?

2. Do you have (and Looooove) some of your own phaunt actions?

3. Are you a bit of a dork (or are not opposed to a bit of dorkyness)?

IF you can answer yes to those questions then you may be able to jump on the newest PA development. Keep your eyes peeled for it! I’ll be announcing it on the newsletter FIRST, so if you’re not signed up you better get on there, or you’ll miss out on first pick!

Also, those of you that have asked, the first set of RAW presets are in the final stages of development, and will probably be ready for testing by next week.

That’s it for today!
