Just released. An alternative to Anastasiy's 'Magic Picker' going to try Coolorus out, and review them. But unfortunately, their servers are getting zerg rushed.

This thing is great! There is also a third alternative which is free, and is a bit more stable than Anastasiy's Magic Picker:

Len White's Painter's Wheel

I don't know if this one works in CS6, though.

Here's a site which accomplishes something I'd been looking for: aggregating an endless scrolling page of Flickr photos according to search terms.

I don't know if you're asking about calligraphy or what, but omniglot.com has pretty much everything as far as writing system reference.

Here's a fun URL! It takes you to a random species on Arkive.org:

Great for photo references or inspiration.

I recall someone telling me on the forum that CS4 is now free, which would be great since 'Ive just rebuilt my PC and photoshop is no longer working correctly on it.
Is this true or have I been misled?
CS2 has essentially become abandonware because Adobe can no longer maintain the activation servers for it. You can download a "backup copy" from Adobe on the honor system that you have a license for it, but it's in no way truly released as free.

Art folks who are familiar with Gnomon and Schoolism should know about the Society of Visual Storytelling. They have really good classes and are adding more at an alarming speed. You can buy the classes a la carte or do an all-you-can-eat subscription for pretty reasonable rates considering the quality and breadth of subject matter. Courses are focused on illustration as opposed to concept art or game art. They also have a forum with monthly challenges and critiques. Highly recommended all around!

I've heard good things about Watts Atelier. They have an online program that's supposed to be similar to the in person course.
