Tips and Tricks

Tips and Tricks for Photoshop CS3 from Justin Seeley, presenter for Total Training for Adobe Photoshop CS3: Advanced

Tip 1: Hidden Palettes
If you find yourself needing more screen real estate in Photoshop CS3, simply press Shift+Tab on your keyboard to temporarily hide the palettes on the right side of the screen. To bring the palettes back temporarily, move your mouse over to the right edge of the screen and your palettes will temporarily reappear. Once you move your mouse back to the image window, the palettes will be hidden again. To bring them back permanently, press Shift+Tab on your keyboard.

Tip 2: Blend Mode Shortcuts
There is an easier way to access your Blend modes besides going to the layers palette each time. Simply switch to the Move Tool (V) and then select your layer. Now press Shift+ or Shift- on your keyboard to instantly cycle through all of the Blend modes.

Presenter's Corner

We recently chatted with Ko Maruyama, Total Training presenter for Adobe After Effects CS3: Essentials. Here is what we learned about him:


Q:		What is your favorite project you have ever worked on?
A:		Each project has its own unique aspect of fun. After Effects can present some technical challenges, artistic challenges, or even animation challenges. If I had to pick one, I would have to say that producing promos for The Simpsons was my favorite project.
Q:		What is your most creative time?
A:		Creative time varies. There is nothing that really defines "creative time". Awake. Sleeping. Working. Playing. It sounds kind of corny or rote, but creativity isn't really described by a specific time. Unless there's such a thing as "Strawberry Quik and Chocodile time".
Q:		When you're not plugged into work, what are you doing?
A:		When I'm not plugged into work, I could be doing anything else. I hike with my kids, ride bikes around the park, dig in the garden, go to movies. The usual stuff. Lately, we've been experimenting with stop motion animation.... wait... is that work? :D
