Tech Book of the Week

Alright, I know I usually spotlight a Photoshop book every week but this week my book pick is the new iPhone Book by Scott Kelby and Terry White. There has been such a surge of popularity with this little piece of technology that you’re gonna want to get the most out of it, and the iPhone Book is the way to do it. Some of you may remember how immensely popular Scott’s iPod Book was. Well the iPhone Book is written in the same straightforward humorous style and along with Terry’s overwhelming tech knowledge, it is the quintessential iPhone manual. Find out more here.

Inspired by Hollywood

For the longest time, Apple has had a page on their site devoted exclusively to movie trailers. It’s a great place to get some Photoshop inspiration because there are a lot of really cool poster designs. You may even see something cool in the trailers themselves. The site has just recently been redesigned and has a boat-load of new HD trailers for current and upcoming movies. Check it out here. At the very least, it’s one heck of a time killer.

Photoshop World Early Bird

The time is near. That’s right, Photoshop World Las Vegas is ever so close. We’re just over a month and a half away from the Photoshop love fest of the year. Join Scott Kelby, Dave Cross, Matt Kloskowski, RC and myself, among many others, to talk about nothing but Photoshop. Of course, I’m sure we will manage to talk about other apps as well. I have a new class called Earth, Wind, & Fire. It’s all about using Photoshop to create natural effects like water, ice, clouds, fire, etc. And there will even be a couple surprises. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Also, if you haven’t registered yet, you only have a couple of weeks to take advantage of the early bird registration, which ends on August 3. You can save a hundred bucks that you can then throw down on the craps tables.

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.
