I know what you’re thinking—finding the Magnetic Pen tool options? I didn’t even know there was a Magnetic Pen tool in the first place. Adobe has done a great job of hiding it. For some reason they must hate this tool. Anyway, to get to the Magnetic Pen tool (the magnetic part means it snaps [...]

It’s finally here. The highly anticipated Worldwide PhotoWalk is tomorrow. I am excited. True, I am not necessarily a photographer but I am looking to be inspired nonetheless.
