The movie trailer narrator deep voice: “Once upon a time. In a place. There were backgrounds. Scaaarrry backgrounds. There were 5 of them. One would be afraid just looking at them. Parents would hide their children in front of them. But those were righteous backgrounds and only bad people had reason to be afraid. And those backgrounds were downloaded time and again … and people were asking for more and more backgrounds. And then, one day, Silvia made another set. 5 brand new backgrounds … and here they are“
Halloween Backgrounds II – the final revenge of the righteous ones

I’m reading now a great blog I do things, it make me smile :)
And to paraphrase JD on question Why do I blog: I have a desktop computer with a large fancy monitor and a pair of glasses that make me look smart. I speak HTML and sometimes CSS. I don’t want to write a blog. The people made me do it!
Have a spooky Halloween 2007 you are welcome to download Halloween wallpaper (or Halloween background) for your computer desktop.

Leaves are turning yellow and gold,
in the shadow of a tree it’s cold,
although it’s a sunny day
this year is getting old”
Am I good or what?! :-P Just kidding. But the wind blows. Fall disguised the town. A genuine Autumn. The one that includes yellow pumpkins in the field that I can not see because I live in a city and all I see from my window is more concrete buildings that surround us. But, at least i can imagine what it looks like somewhere in the country right now.

Last decade, although it was never even un-official holiday, a number of Croatian population celebrates Halloween. Conservative part of our population is against that new tradition because of the official religious catholic holiday All Saints, that takes place at 1st of November day when people pay visit to cemeteries and remember their friends and relatives that are no longer with us.
31 of October and 1st of November, collision between religion and tradition on one side and new “imported” habits on the other side. And some say that Halloween is nothing but a consumers society festival… Anyways, I would prefer to have holiday every day :) as long as it makes people happy and not frustrated.
So, after scary and bloody T-Shirt accompanied by Trick or Treat bag that I made with my own custom made unique Photoshop brushes I made a set of Halloween Photoshop brushes.

Photoshop in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O’Reilly))
Photoshop 4 is reknowned for its powerful painting and selection tools, along with its color adjustment controls, multiple layer and channel capabilities, and special effect filters. These features make Photoshop the standard for desktop image design and production — enthusiasts in all graphics industries turn to Photoshop again and again to refine the images that define our world.
These same features make for an extremely complex product. Photoshop is sprawling and immense, catering to an incredible quantity of graphic-editing needs. Even experienced designers familiar with most of the features can have trouble remembering every detail.
Unlike most Photoshop books — which try to teach Photoshop — Photoshop in a Nutshell is a detailed reference that will enable Photoshop 4 users to make informed choices as they work, eliminating time spent searching for just the right combination of filters and effects, and reducing the risk of incorrect editing decisions.This book defines and describes every tool, command, palette, and sub-menu in Photoshop 4. Each item is accompanied by a list of its most common uses and misuses, as well as production-oriented background information. Where appropriate, the common uses contain step-by-step techniques, and the common misuses include experience-based advice and solutions.
There are four sections:Photoshop’s toolbox, including the Options Palette settings for each toolThe menu commands, including every item of every dialogThe floating palettes, including the function that each palette provides, as well as the ramifications of every value and palette submenu.
The information in this book is organized in an encyclopedic reference fashion, following the structure of Photoshop itself. All topics are easy to find and fully cross-referenced, allowing you to intuitively explore the cause-and-effect relationships of each command. Any serious Photoshop 4 user will find Photoshop in a Nutshell an invaluable guide.
