I’m not sure, however, if the craft I love is being murdered, committing suicide, or both.

Trevor Morris, who runs the GFX web site has uploaded a bunch of new Photoshop scripts including a beta to a new Black & White Variations script.

• Hide All Layers – set the visibility of all layers to off (invisible)
• Show All Layers – set the visibility of all layers to on (visible)
• Search For Layers – searches for layers by name and selects the first match
• Sort Layers – sorts all layers in the active document alphanumerically (from top to bottom)
