Adobe Sneak Peaks

 

Adobe revealed some sneak peaks of Lightroom 2.0 and Photoshop CS4 during the keynote at Photoshop World in Orlando last week and my buddy Rod Harlan over at DV Confidential shot some video of the event with his handy little HD camera. The demo shows the newest features in the new Lightroom 2.0, which was released as a public beta on April 2. Also Adobe showed some of the new features in Photoshop CS4. While the actual release is a ways off, these were just some of the more ‘finished’ features. I would certainly count on more by the time of its release. Anyway you can watch these video clips at DVConfidential.com. Lastly, there is a new Lightroom 2.0 Learning Center, produced by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski, that gives you an in-depth look at this new version. Check it out here.

    The links for both DVConfidential and Check it out here are the same. I can’t find the Photoshop CS4 on the site. Help?

Removing Those Typographically Incorrect Spaces

If you’re trying to set type that looks typographically correct in Photoshop, there’s an old habit you’ll have to break, and that’s the curse of putting two spaces at the end of every sentence. This is a holdover from people who at one time used traditional typewriters, where adding two spaces was necessary, but in typesetting that’s a huge no-no. About 70% of the text I copy-and-paste from text files that people give me has two spaces, but I use this Photoshop tip to fix the problem in just seconds. First, go under the Edit menu and choose Find and Replace Text. In the Find field, press the Spacebar twice (entering two spaces), then in Change To, press the Spacebar just once. Click Change All, and every time Photoshop finds two spaces at the end of a sentence, it will replace it with just one, making you typographically correct.
