Today’s treat talks truthfully to type tool tricks! Terrific! I love alliteration, in case you couldn’t tell! All joking aside, since shorter videos seem to generate more interest (5 minutes or less), I’m trying to keep it under 5 minutes per video, so check out the latest one today, on manipulating text in Photoshop. Today’s…
While there are many “rules” to photography, some have more flexibility than others. When composing images people often try to adhere to the Golden Mean Rule, or the Rule of Thirds. However, there is always the matter of subjectivity and creative differences in how one approaches composition. The Largest Print Rule, by contrast, is not…
That’s right, the podcast is done…this is part deaux of what will likely be a three part series that speaks to my work flow in LAB mode. The first tutorial dealt with curves and luminance adjustments in the LAB color space, and here, I illustrate how to sharpen in the LAB color space. Great stuff…
While I finish out the next tutorial on sharpening in LAB mode, here’s a few tidbits from around the web from this morning. Popular Photography has a good basic set of guidelines for people on composition and making your photos pop! Check it out on their website here. The Online Photographer also has some good…
It’s been a few days since making a post, as there have been a few issues that have come up, not the least of which was an outage or two from my provider. As a result, I was not able to get online for more than a few minutes at a clip for Monday and…
Quite a few newsworthy things happened between Friday and today. The legendary Scott Kelby gives us his top ten (actually 11) blogs to visit – among them those of fellow gurus, Matt Kloskowski and Dave Cross. Others that made the list include Moose Peterson, John Nack, and David Ziser. While it’s always fun to see…
I gave up again trying to figure out how to embed the flash file into the blog page, and keep the layout somewhat decent looking, so I am going to continue linking to a dedicated video podcast page, where I will likely end up building an html front end to reference down the road. It’s…
Well, terrible Tuesday’s post is about the length of my latest video podcast severely biting me in the you-know-what. As it turns out, Flash has this limitation of 160,000 frames, so to circumvent that, there seems to be only two options: record in shorter segments and splice them together in Flash with Action scripts (I…
Well, that may not be entirely true, as Tips from The Top Floor has a few updates both in audio and video format, so stop over there for some weekyl news and info about Chris’ trip to the great ole U.S. of A. He’s going from CO on to California, and then some other place…
That’s right, I’ve finally got enough of an act together to record a new tutorial. It’s another Photoshop tip, and this week is kind of a tangential feature of Photoshop, in that it’s not one you would typically use Photoshop to produce as Adobe has other products that perform this function better. There are also…
Unfortunately, this has been a rather distracting week for me. With some work issues keeping me very much involved and focused, I’ve not had much time for diversions. Well, when a hard drive started to fail on me earlier this week, and then a power surge zapped my router, I’ve been only online for a…
Hate to do this two days in a row, but I am just swamped at work, and got home quite late. Suffice to say, I am still very low on the learning curve for the MBP and may have to resort to a Windows box for the next post with any meaningful content. Although I…
Following the trend of the more visible photoshop guys (a.k.a. Scott Kelby), there will be no post today beyond this: My MacBook Pro arrived today, so I am anxiously crawling up the learning curve (Garage Band is nt the most intuitive of applications for a Windows user to adjust to..on top of the button placements,…
I’ve added an XML feed to the site, so for those that may be interested in adding a widget to your Google Homepage or your Google Reader, that link is available now. Thanks go out to Google for making it so easy! Hard to say whether I’ll finish my next tutorial in time to post…
