If you’re working on an image that will be printed on a printing press and you select a color that’s outside the range of what a CMYK press can reproduce, you’ll get what’s called a Gamut Warning right within Photoshop’s Color Picker. This is just to let you know that the color you’ve chosen is outside the CMYK gamut. Just below the warning is a tiny color swatch showing you what the color you picked will really look like when printed in CMYK mode. To find out where that color resides within the Color Picker, click once directly on that tiny swatch and Photoshop will pick that color for you.

Corey has a special extended tutorial on illustrating the Ice Age acorn.
In part two of this tutorial, Corey finishes the Transformers logo he began last week.
In this two-part tutorial, Corey begins creating the Transformers logo from this summer’s upcoming blockbuster.
Corey uses the new 3D features in Photoshop CS4 Extended to re-create the DreamWorks animated title.
When working with vector - created art and the source art is unavailable, modifying the art to create a logo can be a pain, to say the least—particularly when it’s flattened and the background needs to be knocked out. A careful combination of Invert (Command - I [PC: Ctrl - I]), Color Balance (Command - B [PC: Ctrl - B]), and layer Blending Options (Control-click [PC: Right-click] the layer name) can yield simple background knockouts of one- or two-color logos without making a mess.
