Photoshop How-To: Tame the Beast
December 29, 2006

Adobe Photoshop Blog | PhotoshopSupport.comPhotoshop has so many different work areas and tools that it can confuse digital photographers. Photoshop practically seethes with menus, palettes, and tools. If you get confused by how they work -- much less how they should work for your needs -- this article is just what you need. After you set up the general workspace so it's efficient, using Photoshop will be a more pleasing experience.

Here's how to set up your workflow so you're efficient, not intimidated. The article is a PDF that is excerpted from Photoshop Workflow Setups: Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography.

Photoshop Workflow Setups: Eddie Tapp on Digital PhotographyIn "Photoshop Workflow Setups" (O'Reilly, US $29.99), Eddie Tapp shows why nothing is more critical than setting up an efficient Photoshop workspace, optimized for the way you work as a photographer. The book is the first volume in the Experts' Studio "Eddie Tap on Digital Photography" series from O'Reilly. It lays out a step-by-step approach to creating an uncluttered and efficient workspace in the midst of Photoshop's vast collection of menus, palettes, and tools.

An award-winning photographer and Photoshop Hall of Fame nominee, Tapp is acknowledged as one of the premier trainers of digital imaging in the world, a highly sought-after expert who educates many corporations, studios, and agencies. In this series, he brings his teaching experience to bear on technical issues in six focused and affordable books on digital photography that offer one topic per volume with answers that are quick to find when you need them most.

Photoshop Tips, Tricks & Tutorials - Jennifer Apple - I Cover The Waterfront - Special Batgirl Edition
December 27, 2006

Photoshop Tips, Tricks & Tutorials - Jennifer Apple - I Cover The Waterfront - Special Batgirl EditionHere we go, back to normal life, and getting our work out the door on time, well for at least the next 3 days...

Photoshop QuickTips
Episode 28: Grunge Collage
In this episode of Photoshop Quicktips we take a break from the CS3 Beta reviews and jump right back into Photoshop CS2 for a lesson in composition. In this tutorial I show you how to create a grunge collage by using a single photo and little bit of Photoshop magic.

Episode 27: CS3 Beta, Part 6
Legacy workspaces, hidden presets, and cell phone wallpaper. The more you look, the more you'll find in this CS3 Beta. In this episode I'll show you some of the interesting things I have found while poking around in the new program. I'll also show you how to jump start your exploration of the program by using a custom workspace built by Adobe.

Episode 26: CS3 Beta, Part 5
Here's another little feature that I absolutely love in the new CS3 Beta of Photoshop The Print dialog box. I know this sounds weird for someone to have an infatuation with this particular dialog box but if you look closely, you'll see noticeable and time-saving improvements. No longer do we have to bother with the option of Print vs. Print with Preview. This truly is a one-stop shop for printing.

Photoshop Tips, Tricks & Tutorials - Jennifer Apple - I Cover The Waterfront - Special Batgirl EditionEpisode 25: CS3 Beta, Part 4
One of the coolest things in this new beta release of Photoshop is the new Quick Selection Tool and the addition of the Refine Edge Menu. These two little tools are going to change the way we make selections forever! Join me as I show you these new tools and some of the cool things they are capable of. You'll never stress over a selection again.

Create easy labels with these PDF templates
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked to design a label for this project or that over the years. RFPs, client gift boxes, one-off packages, co-workers always run out and buy the Avery labels and then I have to come up with the measurements (taking into account the printer margins). Many label kits come with some tiny application to print labels, but they rarely work well, and are almost always Windows only. Worldlabel to the rescue!

Hide multiple Photoshop layers quickly with this shortcut
Many times when you're working on a Photoshop document that has many layers, you want to see just one layer at a time. It's a pain to turn off all the other layers, especially if you don't use Layer Groups. You can quickly turn off all but the one layer you want by holding down the Option key and clicking on the eyeball next to the layer you want to see – all the other layers will automatically hide. To get all your layers turned back on, simply repeat the process.

Adobe Creative Suite Video Podcast
Photoshop Tips, Tricks & Tutorials - Jennifer Apple - I Cover The Waterfront - Special Batgirl EditionUse Photoshop's Save for Web to Optimize your images
Whether you're publishing your own websites or just sharing pictures with friends and family via email, you should really know how to use the Save For Web feature in Photoshop CS2. In this episode I'll show you how to optimize your images to the smallest size you want to achieve.

Using the "Title" Metadata in the Bridge to improve your Web Galleries
It's easy to create Web Photo Galleries from the Bridge. However, there are a couple of features in the Bridge for applying metadata tags to your images that the Web Photo Gallery feature in Photoshop will take advantage of. In this 640x480 episode we'll take a look at how to do this. It will greatly enhance the way you put your images up on the web.

Sue Chastain (about.com)
No Cross-Platform Serial Numbers on Photoshop CS3
I'm rather disappointed in the way Adobe has chosen to handle the licensing for the Photoshop CS3 beta. As a new Mac owner, I saw this as a great opportunity to try Photoshop on my new Mac with plenty of time to compare it with my Photoshop experience in Windows.

Frame a Photo Like a Polaroid
Adding a Polaroid frame to a photo is a neat effect for when you want to add a little something to a photo you plan to use on the Web or in a scrapbook layout. Check out my tutorial on tutorial how to turn a photo into a Polaroid using Photoshop Elements to learn how to create the frame from scratch. Or you can just download my ready-to-use Polaroid frame to quickly add this effect to any photo without having to create the Polaroid frame from scratch. You can use the Polaroid frame in any photo-editing software with layers capability and support for PSD or PNG file types.

Macworld Lab: Photoshop CS3 benchmarks
The Macworld Lab has been busy testing Photoshop CS3 on a few Intel Macs and some of the last generation of PowerPC-based Macs. As you would expect, Photoshop CS3 shows some pretty significant speed increases over the Rosetta-emulated CS2 on the Mac Pro and MacBook Pros.

Did You Know You Could Create An Entire Website In Photoshop?
SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly


SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites InstantlyThere often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.

Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.

Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
