Coming Attractions

Monday, September 8th, 2008
So during my sessions at Photoshop World I showed some new stuff that I had been working on. I was asked by so many if I would be posting them as tutorials on this site or anywhere else. The answer is yes. I will be, over the next few weeks, posting tutorials both here and [...]

Day Three…Time To Say Goodbye

Saturday, September 6th, 2008
Well the third and final day has arrived and I have to say it’s just been an amazing time. We had Midnight Madness last night and boy did that get crazy. Me and the video guys pulled a fun little prank in the crowd. I will show you that soon enough. Be sure to go [...]

Day Two…

Friday, September 5th, 2008
First off, yesterday was simply awesome! The keynote was great as Adobe announced that they will unveil Creative Suite 4 on September 23. Mark your calendars. I had two of my three classes yesterday and they were a lot of fun. I hope everybody that was there enjoyed it. Of course, one of my most [...]

Here we go. The time has come to kick off Photoshop World Las Vegas. Yesterday was pre-con day and it was a huge success. I peeked in Russell Brown’s 3D Lenticular class and it was quite fascinating. However I didn’t really have eight hours to sit through the whole thing but what I did see [...]

Great, then we have a tip for you that will [...]

Stop The “Click-And-Jump-To-That-Layer” Blues

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
Problem: All of a sudden, every time you click on a layer with the Move tool, it jumps to that layer. Solution: Somehow you turned on a feature called Auto Select Layer, which lets you make a layer active by just clicking on it with the Move tool. To turn this feature off, press V [...]

Let Photoshop Rebuild Your Prefs

Monday, August 25th, 2008
If you need to delete Photoshop’s current preferences file (which is a common “first-line-of-defense” troubleshooting move), you don’t have to go digging around your drive. All you have to do is hold the Command, Option, and Shift keys (PC: Control-Alt-Shift) when you first launch Photoshop, and you’ll be greeted with a dialog asking you if [...]
