To the Lab!!!!

I just thought I would point this out because quite a few people have asked me about this. If you have been using Adobe products for some time you’ve no doubt visited the Adobe website. However, there is another site that you may or may not know about. It’s the Adobe Labs site. It is so named because this is where the experimental technology from Adobe resides. You can download betas and prereleases of the newest software Adobe is developing. Like the new Adobe Media Player or the Adobe AIR Beta. Check it out here.

Photoshop Book of the Week

Scott Kelby has a new book coming out later this month called Scott Kelby’s 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop. It’s quite simply a workflow checklist for handling virtually any imaging issue you encounter. Have you ever uploaded your images to your computer and said to yourself, “Now what do I do?” This book is the answer. For a clearer explanation by Scott himself go here.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
