^ I don’t think GR authors will be happy to see paid competence here. Also, not sure if you are trying to spread some kind of referal program there. If so, pelase, keep this thread clean and fair, this is just for useful things for all of us.

The following link is maybe not a wow one, but today, i needed to modify an MP3 (basically, cut it and add fade in - fade out) and found this online tool pretty useful, so i’m posting it here:

I don’t want this to appear as self promotion but I recently developed and released a free tool for previewing directories of images as tiles across the screen. You can then save out a fullscreen copy of the image tiled across the screen as well as overlay gradients etc…

It was built with Adobe AIR and so is cross platform :slight_smile:

“http://msfx.co.uk/2012/04/14/introducing-tileair/”:http://msfx.co.uk/2012/04/14/introducing-tileair/

Hope someone finds it useful :slight_smile:

We’d have to ask a mod if that’s self-promotion :wink:

I think if it is a free service that is of use, then it isn’t so much self-promotion as letting us know about it

Awesome stuff in here. Very helpful for us non-designers that are still trying to have a good looking profile :wink: Thanks so much!

That’s what I thought, it’s relevant, there’s no adverts, no charges so i’d rather people knew about it? If anyone complains then i’ll remove it :slight_smile:
