Today, our friends at Filter Forge are giving away a copy of Filter Forge 3.0 to 3 lucky Psdtuts+ readers.

Update: Congratulations to Edo Grandinetti, Reut Cohen, and Christian Robinson! You have all won a free copy of Filter Forge.

As a Photoshop artists, we know that you will need to create your own website at some point in your career. A website is an important aspect of any business and is something most designers spend quite a bit of time on. Unfortunately, most Photoshop artists aren’t expert web designers.
