Photoshop effects tutorial

Great tutorial explaining how to use Photoshop to create four different after-effects (Soft Focus, Drawing, Moody, Lomo) and then encapsulating all the steps as macros you can install. It's a great and dinstinctively Internet-era means of instruction: "Here is a set of steps that can be used to make a tool; here is a packaged tool — you can use the packaged tool, but now that you understand how it was made, you can also make your own variants."
