What is betatesting?

.psd magazine uses a unique technique to guarantee the highest quality of our articles.

Most magazines prepare the articles using solely the knowledge and experience of an editorial team. .psd does that and more. Our active readers take part in the editorial process as betatesters.

You can become one of them today!

What does a betatester do?

Betatesting .psd magazine means: receiving articles at an early stage of production for review, so you, our most valued readers, can tell us whether the subject is of interest to you, whether it is prepared the way you'd like to read it taking active part in many various activities associated with production of the .psd magazine. What's most important, it's up to you, how active you are, you have no obligations whatsoever. You can take part when you have time and will to do so, and you can simply ignore help requests at the time when you're too busy to help.

How to become a betatester?

Becoming .psd betatester is as simple as signing up for our betatester list. All you have to do is send an empty mail to the following address: editors@psdmag.org

You will receive a confirmation request which you must follow in order to join the list.

Joining the list does not give you any obligations. You can answer whenever you want, thus becoming an active betatester for the issue the article posted comes from.

Addresses of subscribers are not distributed anywhere else and there is no commercial content distributed to the list.

Please note: This is a betatesting list for English-language articles only. There are separate betatesting lists of other language versions available on our website (on other language subsites).

What will you gain?

Active betatesters can expect the following in return for their help:

• every issue publishes a list of active betatesters for that issue, so your name is published as part of the editorial team
• The most active betatesters become top betatesters and are published as those. It means that you receive articles much earlier than anyone else and you can take part in their shaping according to your requirements.
• if you're still a student, you can show the magazine with your name to your future employer, as proof that you have been taking part in the editorial process
• top betatesters are sent extra gifts such as free magazines (not only .psd), books etc.

There is more to become: the more help we receive from you, the more you can expect from us in return, and be sure that we value our betatesters
