A bunch of co-workers and I swung by Scott Kelby’s Photoshop: Down & Dirty Tour class at the Convention Center today. A lot of very, very good stuff. Among the best:
- shift + plus cycles blend modes when a layer is selected
- making a eurocollage
- movie poster dirty text is made by threshold images and masking
- making product ad shots is simple (reflections, feathering and drop shadows are your friend)
- the Photoshop CS shadow/highlight adjustment tool is awesome
- dodge and burn w/ brush tools on a separate neutral gray overlay layer
- you can export automated PDF slideshows
- everyone looks better at 95% width
So very worth your time and money.
