I use them on a weekly basis and love accessing my favorite menus with a couple of clicks, but the time has changed and I am now using my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 to do all the work. So last month, I downloaded their iPhone application and could not help but noticed that its not optimized for retina display and their icon is at a lower resolution even for the iPad.

So, I decided to replicate their icon for retina displays. The Apple states that for the retina display, icons must have a resolution of 114px x 114px.

Here are the results on the iPhone 4 and iPad 2:

This is not perfect since I couldn’t find a press-kit containing their logo and had to recreate the type using vectors, but I guess its a step in the right direction. What do you think?

You can download the zip file containing the PSD file with vector shapes and styles:

While I was “surfing the Net“, I stumbled upon Bartelme Design. Looking at their Flag Button Devkit, I decided to represent my country by a small addition :) Seeing all those flags just made my nationalistic feelings top.

After finding a high-quality vector-abased Turkish flag, I just copy&pasted it inside the photoshop file provided in the Flag Button DevKit. I toned down the reflections to make the red inside the Turkish flag appear more since it represents the blood of soldiers who died while fighting for Turkey.

You can download the photoshop file for Round Button for Turkish Flag below:

Disable Unneeded Plugins: Each time you launch Photoshop, it loads plug-ins and presets into memory. The problem is that you may or may not need many of the plug-ins during the course of a session, but they eat into the memory allocation regardless. To disable a plugin, go to the plugins folder inside your adobe photoshop installation and place a ~ (tilde) in front of the file name. Here are some that I have disabled to speed up my photoshop cs2:

DigiRead.8bf
DigiSign.8bf
Liquify.8BF
Lens Correction.8bf
VanishingPoint.8bf

Disable Unneeded File Formats: While you are in the Plugins folder, disable some of the file formats that are rarely used. I don’t think I have opened a file with these extensions for more than 2 years now.

FilmStrip
PCX
PhotoCD
Pixar
Targa

Delete the Ugly Patterns: In your Presets\Patterns folder, there are pattern files (*.pat), you can safely remove them since they all are ugly looking and you can find a pattern that will suit your needs easly on Internet. However, removing these files won’t remove the patterns on the presets. To remove a pattern from the pattern preset, you need to go to the preset manager and delete them.

Enable Pixel Doubling: When you are working on large image files, photoshop can sometimes slow down while processing the rest of the image. By enabling pixel doubling, photoshop temporarily doubles the size of the pixels and restores them after you are done with your tool. Go to Edit > Preferences > Display & Cursors

Smaller Thumbnails with Palette Options: Photoshop displays thumbnails for each channel and each layer. You can view smaller thumbnails on Layers tab and completely disable thumbnails on the channel tab. Each tab has its own options, the most important one is the history tab. In the History options, disable every option.
