I love things that make me more productive, it makes me feel like I’ve gotten time back to do other things like shoot and spend time with family and friends.  That is why whenever I come across productivity items I want to make sure I share them with as many people as possible.  Today I came across one for re-arranging your photoshop brushes, I know this may not seem like a big time saver but if you use them alot it can save you a ton of time.  Check it out at photoshopsupport.com
