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 again.

Q:

What puts you into the (creative/production) mode and gets the creative juices flowing?
A: Doesn't everyone say "beauty inspires creativity?” Since "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder, it's kind of a cop out. I would just say that time affords creativity - sometimes maybe exploration breeds creativity. Oddly, sometimes, it's a tool that inspires or enables creativity. You see a tool you've never worked with before - whether it's digital or traditional media, and now it's something you can use. You start putting it to the canvas or digital workflow, and you grind on it – you find all kinds of new things.

Q:

What are your three favorite features for this product?
A: Animate, Paint, and Effects. Hmm… or do I like the ability to write small scripts to influence how my animation, painting and effects can work together? It's hard to say.

Q:

How did you get started in the industry?
A: I started as a runner, watching others do the work. First, I learned about broadcast signals and tape formats in the machine room. Later I started to put elements together as an assistant – creating graphics and rotoscoping.
