Fakin It Up: Making A Software Box With Photoshop

I have Photoshop envy. Yes, I admit it, but not because Photoshop is so much better than Fireworks MX, which BTW has served me very well, but only because it seems that everyone else uses Photoshop. Sadly, the high price of Photoshop is the main thing that keeps me from making the move. And because of this, I constantly have to do just a bit more work to take advantage of the sea of Photoshop oriented tutorials on the web.

I found an interesting Photoshop tutorial via Digg this morning, Create A Software Box, which fortunately I should be able to apply to Fireworks without too much trouble. It’s funny that even in this time of digital software delivery, that shrink wrapped box still carries enough weight to give an air of professionalism to products that will never see the inside of a physical box. Nice tutorial, definitely worth checking out no matter what graphics tool you use.
