    hi cory, you really do some cool stuff but just recently you made a splat brush that reminded me of Jackson Pollock (sp?) anyway is there a way to modify a brush so that I could mimick his effect. It seems that the splat brush was very close. If you have any hints on how I could do that it would be so cool. I have been using the principles in your bullet technique but I can’t quite get the look I want.

    Excellent tutorial Cory. I used this one and another one of yours to make a bullet hole brush to come up with this poster. I hope you like it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dereksbeard/3304872012/

Adding Keywords to Multiple files

In Bridge, you can add keywords to images to make searching for pictures a little less cumbersome. You don’t, however, want the process to become tedious as well. By either Command-clicking (PC: Ctrl-clicking) or Shift-clicking on images, you can select multiple files inside Bridge. Once you have the files selected, you can go to the Keywords panel and turn on any keyword you like. This will apply the keyword to all of the files that you have selected. It takes away a little bit of the pain of categorization, but just a little.
